Why not get your kids pysched to wear a helmet at an early age? While there are quite a few youth street helmets available (and even more off-road helmets for kids), I could only find these three pink street-specific helmets widely available. Of course, all are available in other colors, too.

The AFX Youth FX-10Y is […]

Remember my post about these? Many thanks to Vickie, who sent me a pair of her fabulous helmet ponytails to try out. Vickie sells her handmade ponies and pigtails through her ebay store, and will custom-make single or double tails in a variety of styles, lengths and colors. The ponies quickly attach with suction cups […]

The buzz that has been hitting my mailbox in the last day has been about National Female Ride Day, sponsored by the Toronto-based women’s motorcycle site, Motoress. Motoress is run by former European female motorcycle racer Vicki Gray.
Gray is asking that the first Friday in May (May 4 this year) be the day when women […]

I went for my first longish ride of the season yesterday, and as I was riding, I was hastily scribbling mental notes of road hazards to remember for my next ride. Chances are these things don’t all happen only in the spring, but since a lot of you, like me, haven’t been on the scooter […]

Since last summer, I have been on a quest for just the right pair of mesh armored overpants to wear in the hot, humid summers here. What I can’t figure out is why nearly every single pair of mesh pants in the universe are solid black. Didn’t the manufacturers remember that black fabric in […]

Is green the new pink this year? The market certainly isn’t as overwhelmed with green as it is other colors, but it sure is one of the best looking colors for 2007. Take a gander at the hot looking Kymco People 150 ($3,199) to the left. I could easily remake my wardrobe for a scoot […]

HJC CL-SP Lola helmet
Touches of pink accent the gorgeous HJC CL-SP Lola helmet, with its purple swirls and hibiscus flower theme. The light color is good for visibility, and the graphics are a beautiful fashion statement. I can see this with a new plum Vespa GTS250ie, or a sky blue Metro (if you […]

I got an email from a reader, Cheryl, who has been watching the pink helmet of the day series. She wanted to remind me about the HJC CL-15 Session in pink - which is definitely one of my favorites!
I answered Cheryl that I was concentrating on 2007 helmets, and the HJC CL-15 Session is […]

HJC CL-SP Barb Wire
I thought I was done with the pink helmet series, but more keep popping up all over!
Here’s the helmet that Pamela Anderson needed in Barb Wire - the HJC CL-SP Barb Wire helmet, a flat black helmet with pink-outlined barb wire graphics. It’s another in the popular CL helmet series, […]

Around here, it’s been averaging about 20 degrees cooler than it should be this time of year. Still, I know it’s not long until those humid 80-degree days are upon us, and the last thing many people will want to do is to put on safety gear when it gets so toasty out.
We’ve got a […]
