Risk avoidance is all about risk mitigation and layers of risk management controls. You can't be 100% free from risk, but with enough reasonable layers of control you can greatly reduce your exposure. You can do what makes sense for you, and protect yourself and your family as best you can. In comes the MILSPIN... Continue Reading →
Maybe it's time for new boots? Hard to say.
My trusty Icon Variant helmet was getting a little long in the tooth. Holy crap, last week I realized it is almost six years old. I determined my head shape leans towards the long-oval which limits the helmets I can wear. There are a few intermediate-ovals on the long'ish side I can wear but most... Continue Reading →
Buying used gear or parts is a great way to save yourself some money. On the flip side, it's a great way to make a few bucks and subsidize new moto-purchases.

I've been wearing the same gloves for several years now and they're starting to show their age. I stopped by the Yellow Devil Gear Exchange closing-sale and found some Cycleport gloves left over. The price was right and they fit pretty well so I scooped them up. I'd known about Motoport/Cycleport for a couple years,... Continue Reading →
Lately my bike had been acting a little tired. Slow to spool up, hesitant at low speed, running choppy at small throttle openings. I figured it was just a 10 year old 75,000 mile bike showing its age. But then the other day I noticed when I was twisting the throttle, the grip was moving... Continue Reading →
