THE GEARCHIC PODCAST IS BACK!

Shoutout to my friends at The Riding Obsession Podcast. For the past couple months, I’ve been doing a short gear segment on their show, called the Armory. Robin, one of the hosts made a great suggestion for me to do a longer version of my segment on my own podcast.

So, here it is. An episode about your (street) motorcycle helmet, why does it feel so heavy? There’s a lot of reason why this might be the case, but here are some options that you may have not thought about.

As always, drop a line to help at gearchic dott kom if you need help.

Episode 9: Helmet Fit Tips

In this episode, I’m going to give you some fit tips and talk about helmet shapes. Because if you don’t know or understand that much then this is going to be even more challenging than ever.

This fit shape guide gives you a general guide to how to determine what your shape might be. I like to use the analogy of narrow shoe v. wide shoe.

Episode 3: What Motorcycle Gear Do I Need?

My first real riding suit, back in 2004?

11/29: Podcast Uploaded. Looks like it never uploaded the first time :(

In this episode, I’m going to break down everything you need to buy for your first set of gear and why. I’ve also made the presumption you are buying a full face helmet. Let’s be honest, you know it’s the safest option so why bother going through this debate?

Head to toe, what you need to know and some things to think about when shopping for gear. We will do a deep, detailed dive of each piece in future episodes, but this is a broad overview of what gear you need and why; helmet, jacket, boots, gloves and pants.
