New Rider, Very Petite

Hi there, great website! I am just starting to learn to ride a motorbike so currently looking at some gear. I am also petite, 5'0 & 49kgs (108lbs). I was wondering if you'd ever tried Held motorcycle gear? Looking online, I have found that some of their jackets go down to size 34 but I am unable to find a women's size chart guide for their products! Keep up the good work.

Cheers, Elisa (Melbourne, Australia)

Hi Elisa,

I haven't tried Held recently, but from what I know, I'm guessing the 34 would work. Revit 34 is also a good bet.  If you can find older Revit gear (~5 years ago) the fitments on 34s were very narrow and smaller than current 34s. Longer arms though. I don't know if you're looking at the Xena in a 34, but that might fit you, it seems to run fairly small.

On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter

Hopefully you've already watched On Any Sunday. WHAT? You haven't? Whyyyyy not? It's one of the most iconic motorcycle movies of all time! And it shares a ton of history and famous names in motorcycling that you may not be aware of. Go check it out.

It sounds like this movie will be released this Fall. I can't wait!

Isle of Man TT aka Two Wheel Insanity

If you've never heard of the Isle of Man TT, it's an incredible exhibition of horsepower, wheelies, endurance, people you can barely understand and SPEED! Everything from electric motorcycles to sidecars to good ole' sportbikes.

May 24th - June 6th, IOMTT 2014. 

IOMTT on Facebook

What I find incredible about IOMTT is the fact that these people are going 100-200mph on an Island. A very very small island.  That means they have to avoid people, cement walls, driveways, buildings!

Hopefully you get the Velocity channel in your cable lineup. If not, then you're missing out on some two wheel insanity. It's the only channel as far as I know to watch any of the qualifying / race results here.

Ride Like a Girl? Absolutely.

Just got this cool tee from a Teespring campaign I found on the 'book! They only made 15 but you can tell them you want one too, so hopefully they'll make more.
