About Motorcycle Merchandise

admin — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:00:59 +0000

Purchasing motorcycle merchandise can be problematic. There are so many makes, models, styles, shops and web sites that you have to be somewhat knowledgeable. This is definitely one of those cases where one size does not fit all. Bikes & bikers are also from all over the country where certain types of equipment are either not allowed or not needed.

When you purchase motorcycle merchandise from your local dealer you’re usually assured of at least getting a part that will fit your make & model. If you are purchasing a helmet or clothing you do have the advantage of trying it on right then & there. Internet bike stores are where you find the bargains but you’ll have to wait for your item to arrive and if there are instillation or fit problems you are totally at the mercy of the web store. I have purchased many items for my bike on line and have had my share of installation and fit problems but I have always managed to get things resolved quickly. Quickly, in this case, means a few days. If you’re leaving for a trip in the next couple of days you might want to visit your local dealer.

Repair & customization parts are generally easy to buy on line just a bit of a pain to install. Clothing, helmets and boots are probably the hardest because medium isn’t the same from brand to brand. The easiest motorcycle merchandise to buy are key chains, wallets, mugs, t-shirts, patches and insulting skin care products. It appears no one has ever taken the bikers skin exposure comfort into consideration. I haven’t seen a line of lotions, salves, creams or anything else, specifically for bikers, that will help them cope with the elements.

Motorcycle merchandise has always been about bike parts like valves, chains, wheels, handlebars, risers and the like. It has also been about things to wear like chaps, vests, leather jackets, gloves, etc. There is even a category for other things like mugs, patches, key chains & t-shirts. Now someone has come out with a line of skin care products and a sex cream specifically with bikers in mind. Their products epitomize the new slogan “Sex, Bikes & Rock & Roll”! The best thing about these products is their crazy names.

It appears we now have new items that we can consider motorcycle merchandise. They are named in the vein of the motorcycling experience but they actually help protect the cyclist from their worst enemy, the elements. It is good to see a product that can help with wind & sun burn as well as another that will protect us from the sun without making me smell like a coconut!

I know "Harley-Davidson" is copyrighted but what about just the bar/shield?

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:11:58 +0000

Could I use the bar/shield on merchandise?

If the bar/shield is recognizable as a ‘ Harley-Davidson’ emblem, you’ll have problems and likely get merchandise seized.. A bare outline or back ground ‘shield’ is a open for use Heraldry symbol like a circle or triangle- what you add to it willl determine trademark infringement possibility. A diagonal stripe from one upper corner to other lower corner-can’t remember which sides but thinker it goes down left- is called a bend/bar sinister and is sometimes seen on what is a noble family crest that may also appear without the bar. The bar indicates the ‘bastard’ side of family- a middle name of Fitzroi’ indicates a Roi/Royal bastard. .

Do newer motorcycle jackets have thinner padding?

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:11:43 +0000

I went into the motorcycle accessories shop the other day and noticed that most of the jackets with "standard" padding have very thin pads compared to my old Alpine Star jacket. The salesperson told me that that’s the direction jacket design has been headed in lately. Is this true? The salesperson insisted it’s just as safe, but I feel safer with my old jacket b/c the padding feels almost twice as thick.

Are new jackets really less padded? Are old jackets safer? Can I get more padding somehow?

Unfortunately, the "direction" the motorcycle apparel Industry is headed towards is more related to the bottom line, than rider protection. The Salesperson has NO IDEA what he’s talking about, other than what he’s told. TRUE motorcycle protective gear SHOULD be tested against SOME sort of "guideline". like helmets. Unfortunately, the USA does not have any protective standards for motorcyclist protection, other than for helmets.

ONLY EUROPE has a guideline for almost every piece of protective apparel for motorcycling, called CE ratings or "standards", these guidelines put such protective apparel through scientific testing. Cut, tear, seam burst, etc..

THE BEST solution for any motorcyclist is to wear "REAL" protective gear. Wearing Motorcycle Body Armor that is INDEPENDENT of the jacket is the safest option, WITHOUT QUESTION!

Jackets that have "mounted" armor suffer one draw-back. The armor MOVES with the jacket upon impact, thus moving the padding away from it’s proper location.

THE BEST armor is currently made by T-PRO but is expensive. I went for the next best thing, based on reviews and the cost. The Juggernaut made by Velocity Gear…

WHATEVER you do… DO YOUR RESEARCH!! That salesperson is the LAST person you should listen to…

Sorry Brad, I respectively disagree… Dainese is one of the most over-rated manufacturers on the planet. Recently RIDE Magazine did a review of Motorcycle gloves and the review incorporated scientific testing; cut, tear abrasion, etc. Dainese, with one of the most expensive gloves finished 7th in the review based on these "tests". NEVER assume price = quality or SAFETY!! Again, Do your research…
