Merlin Biker Collective Features Three Riders With a Love For Good Gear
When Merlin released their Biker Collective, we were impressed by the bold move of the brand.

UK Government To Cut Electric Motorcycle Grants
In a recent about-twist, the UK Government has gone from announcing zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the EU by 2050, to encouraging EVs with grants for the masses, to now cutting those same perks.

Sub Zero Thermal Underwear Review
Sub Zero Thermals for Near-Zero Weather Very soft and comfortable no-nonsense thermals. Snug fit and flexibility makes them almost seem to disappear when riding. Excellent compromise between fabric weight, breathability, moisture wicking and wind blocking. This has been a year of strange weather for us. We’ve had endless rain and cool weather in the Spring, …

BMG “Thermosport” Winter Motorcycle Gloves Among the warmest of our winter 2008 batch. Comfortable padding on the inside. Double stitching with race-like armor offers potentially better protection than most winter gloves. Aggressive pricing makes these a super bargain. I guess I’ll have to blame it on British Motorcycle Gear (BMG). After all, they sent this …

British Motorcycle Gear Challenger Jacket Review
BMG Challenger Jacket I’ll admit it: I’m a Belstaff fan and have been for a number of years.

Yep — add a pair of leather garden gloves and …
