I've been looking on Amazon and eBay for a bike cover. Our garage is storage for all of our stuff right now, so I have to leave it outside until we're done with our house projects. Anyone have any recommendations for a waterproof cover? I did a search and can't find any discussion on here.

right so a few words of experience-based wisdom. My gloves got really wet a while ago and it took for ever to dry them, which resulted in them smelling like something between a wet dog and a 3-week-old carcass. Not good. After some googling I found some home remedies: I first tried freezing...

So i googled these things and they do exist, they mount to your bars (usually, typically) im looking for one that can be used for my iphone with the defender series otterbox. "the riders claw" is out of the question I was wondering, have any of you guys bought one?

i am looking to get a new brain protector soon. There is quite a HUGE selection of helmets out there and an even larger range of prices. I cant exactly afford the high end $400-900 helmets, but i dont want to skimp out and get a $70 dollar Costco one either. Over a $100 im assuming they will...

OK having more or less got my bike sorted I'm hoping to be back on the road imminently! Today girlfriend & I went to local Yamaha dealer in Worthing to see about lids for 2 and a jacket for her (she doesn't want to wear leathers if at all possible). I was already lucky finding a really heavy...

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for luggage. I would ideally like to not have to move the rear turn signals. I just got the thing and have had the carbs cleaned and new tires and don't really want to to any mods as of yet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Curious to what everyone is wearing as eye protection with their open faced helmets. During the day light I just wear sunglasses but for night time I have nothing....any suggestions, recommendations, opinions?

Anybody have any preferences on a good windscreen for the xs400? Looking for something short enough not to look weird but tall enough to save my chest from bugs. Any help would be appreciated!
