The 2010 Rev'it Motorcycle Apparel Line

It is not going to be at the Dealer Expo in February (since they say that the clothes should already be in the showrooms around the nation anyway), so they asked the author of this piece to visit their Red Hook (Brooklyn, New York City) headquarters and have a closer look at the 2010 products. The line is extensive and there are several updates and new technology built into the apparel. Have a look and you might just find your next piece of riding gear!

P.S. Rev'it has some nice leather coming to your dealer in 2010.

New York City Riders - Unite to Fight City Hall!

The New York City Council will be voting on a measure on 18 December 2009 which will make it illegal for any motorcycle to be on city streets unless it has an exhaust system with a stamp that states it is approved by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. As you know, many of us no longer have an exhaust with an EPA stamp and yet it still may provide ample noise-suppression. The measure is unfair and you - if you live there - should take action on it via the American Motorcyclist Association website. After the link, there is another link for you. Even if you live outside of the city, it always helps to keep your dues up to date at the association which protects your rights for you...

Jay Leno Donates His Yamaha / Star VMAX for Bailey's Café

Jay Leno will make an appearance in Las Vegas at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction on 10 October 2009. He will be there to sell his customized (for the sale) Star VMAX. All proceeds will go to Bailey's Café, an arts-based education program in New York. Wow, I will try to find a photo, but I am sure you can also watch it on TV in HD - check your local listings (USA).

I am not sure if this is how the 'Leno' VMAX looks now, but the paint is custom as it is only available in black now - the 2010 will start arriving in December and it is red.

NYPD Will Offer Motorcycle Safety Class to Fellow Officers

The NYPD has a problem similar to that of the US armed forces; too many of their own are dying in motorcycle accidents due to lack of training and too much ego. So, to help stem the tide, they have decided to give their officers proper motorcycle training on department time! Smart move NYPD.
