Nice review, but please tell us what you DIDN'T like too. Your review is glowing and has no criticisms. I want to know pros AND cons before I make a decision. Thanks. Note from the Whitehorse Gadget Guy: Fair enough question Osman, no doubt. Let's see... One, I didn't like fact that the matching sand colored pants are not made in tall sizes. I had hoped to buy (after testing and liking the jacket) the sand colored jacket and matching color pants. But with no talls in the sand pants, I went with the orange jacket and black matching pants. Also now that I've given it more thought, I suppose the upper snap on the collar closure is a little hard to snap shut. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that it will get a little easier to snap over time. It does however snap securely closed and stay closed when shut. That's it.
TCX (Formerly Oxtar) Infinity GTX Touring Boot
Reviewer: Andrew Phillips

I have used a pair of Oxtar boots very much like these for a few years. Nothing but praise for them. Comfortable, waterproof, and well wearing. Once these wear out (one day), I'll replace them with the same. Top marks.

I've had this for about 16 months now. It works great-not perfect but great. I commute and part of my drive is East-West so I get the sun coming and going. It works really well at night, too, if you tilt your head a bit to the left to help block headlight glare. My only issue with it is that it's a wee bit fuzzy to look directly through. If you ride in a crouch you may want to trim it down to keep it our of your direct line of sight. I sit up so that's not a problem. It took me about 3 days to not notice it, since then it's been a real blessing. A good purchase on the whole, especially if you ride off into the sunset.

OK, I might be a little biased as a Whitehorse Gear product tester. But no matter if I were or were not, after a few rides, I'm saying this... Finally! A jacket that does everything the way I want it to. Lemme see: 1. Superb fit, very comfortable with or without the cold weather liner. 2. Underarm "pit zip" vents! (Hey a lot of heat hangs out under your arms, like it or not.) Easy to operate vents on chest and back too. 3. Built in under-helmet rain hood and back mounted hydration bladder system are pretty sweet bonus features. 4. Top-shelf armor that is fairly invisible both in the look and feel of the jacket. 5. Handsome styling and great conspicuity with excellent reflective piping. 6. Tough outer fabric feels like it will hold up well for street or trail use. You won't need to worry about snagging your street jacket on low overhanging shrubs or tree branches! 7. Perfect length. Nearly full 3/4 length in rear, abbreviated length in front for great comfort and mobility. 8. Straps to adjust the fit of armor on your arms. 9. No long row of snaps to fasten on the main "storm flap". Just smooth over the Velcro and go. 10. Awesome, comfortable, warm neoprene "cuff gaskets" on the liner to keep the wind and weather OUTside your jacket. And I could go on. This is a very serious jacket! Of the dozens I've tried over the years this is probably my favorite to date. Another home run for Firstgear! -Jeff the Gadget Guy
3M Scotchlite Stealth Retroreflective Sheeting
Reviewer: Scott Stark
Date Added: Thursday 11 June, 2009
This stuff is great -- works exactly as advertised. In daylight, it's fairly inconspicuous against a black background, but at night, BAM! it really shines. I've got it applied to my helmets, saddlebags, and even chaps (I applied strips at the cuff of the chaps so that when I put my feet down at a stop, like when waiting to make a left turn without a green arrow, my legs are still visible). I've even added strips to my bicycle and bicycle helmet. Yes, I like to be seen at night!

Just installed a set of these iMC HS-200 speakers in my helmet and love them! So thin you don't even know they are there. Even better I didn't have to glue/tape them in! Each speaker is velcro clam shelled between the front and back pad, NOT sewn up inside. Since velcro clings to my helmet fabric I just used the front pad and velcroed the speaker in place. Make then easy to adjust and transfer to a new helmet. Some reviews on other sites complained about volume but they must be using small AA players. Mine are connected to a Garmin nuvi750 charged by the bike's 12volt system and it's like putting your head in concert hall. Around town my mp3 level is at 40% or 50% and on the interstate 70% keeps me rockin' out no problem.

I've had this permanently attached to the pillion seat of my GSXR1000, to make it a good commuter, rather than using a backpack. It is a perfect solution, plenty of room for computer, shoes and riding jacket. Plus looks natural on the bike. Side pockets for sunglasses. To permanently attach, remove the handle and bungees. Loop the nylon straps under the seat in an "X" and tape/sew/bond then together. If the seat has a grab strap like the GSXR, the bag's base panel slides under and re-velcros. Only flaw is that after a few years, the zipper fabric shows some sun-bleaching.

Great helmet. Had the first run Nolan and did not care for the latching of the front. This N103 is easy to open and close with one hand. The blue tooth works great, even at 80 mph going down the highway. The battery life was in excess of 14 hours constant. The instructions were hard to read but it went together okay. I used this out of the box for 1800 miles in heat up to 90 degrees. A little hot but real comfortable. Sizes run a little small so order the next size up. I would buy another....
Riding in the Zone: Advanced Techniques for Skillful Motorcycling
Reviewer: RoadRUNNER Motorcycle Touring & Travel, May/June 2009

After finishing the book, I watched the DVD and found that the sights, sounds and motion of the instructional clips firmly reinforced the information just studied. And though this volume is aimed at “early-intermediate to early-advanced” riders, any motorcyclist should benefit from the lessons and safety tips it contains. ...

Through it all, the reader comes to know Mann, not only from his own achievements but also from the perspective of his peers, thanks to Youngblood, whose exhaustive research and interviews of Mann’s numerous contemporaries is worthy of some sort of award in itself. Even Mann was impressed with the depth of Youngblood’s fact-checking. The reward for fans of motorcycle history is Mann of His Time, a true story, larger-than-life saga that ought to be required reading for any self-respecting hard-core motorcyclist.
