- Arai Classic-V Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet Review
There’s a good reason why many states require riders to wear helmets, even if they don’t require any other protective gear. Our heads are more fragile than we’d like to believe, and a helmet is not where we want to cut corners when it comes to safety. Full-face helmets offer more protection than open-face ones, but they have drawbacks as well. For some riders, modern full-face helmets just don’t mesh with the style of their classic or vintage motorcycles. Sure, we can poke fun at riders who prioritize style over safety, but why not explore some helmets that offer both? Arai is one of the top dogs in the helmet game, and its Classic-V open-face helmet combines the brand’s focus on safety with a classic look that suits many vintage-style bikes and gear combos. I’ve been wearing the Arai Classic-V while testing the 2025 Honda Dax 125, a… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - Continental TKC80 and TKC70 Rocks Motorcycle Tires Review
I’m lucky to live in adventure bike heaven, with five (soon to be six, when Montana is released next year) Backcountry Discovery Routes accessible within a day’s ride and innumerable gravel and dirt forest service roads crisscrossing the landscape for hundreds of miles in every direction. The Idaho BDR, for example, is more than 1,200 miles long, and when you factor in the pavement miles required to get there and back, it’s been known to easily chew through a rear big-block knobby tire. Enter the “mullet” setup, a term coined by mountain bikers that I’ve co-opted to describe a combination of an aggressive, off-road-oriented front tire and a longer-wearing, less aggressive but still capable rear. In a happy twist of fate, Continental recently announced the return of its legendary big-block knobby TKC80 after a nearly three-year hiatus, with a new manufacturing process that Continental says results in an… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - Vanson Leathers Drifter Mk2 Motorcycle Jacket Review
Most riders have a leather jacket hanging in their closet. They come in every style, thickness, and purpose imaginable. I loved the leather jacket my wife bought for me years ago, but once I discovered Vanson Leathers, I realized just how much the right leather matters. That lesson came into focus when I attended the press launch for the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. Rider requires us to wear protective armor when testing bikes, and my old jacket didn’t have any. I called Kim and Mike Van Der Sleesen at Vanson to ask about something that would fit both the bike and the occasion. Kim invited me to their headquarters for a fitting. Vanson’s headquarters is a destination for anyone who appreciates leather. For over 50 years they’ve produced premium jackets, pants, race suits, gloves, belts, and more. Their leather apparel outfits motorcyclists, racecar drivers, Rhode Island State Troopers,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - Motor School with Quinn Redeker: Hip Hip Hooray
The dotted line is the bike’s lean angle without using hips to shift the motorcycle in either direction. What happens when we angle our hips? (Photos by Kevin Wing) Today we’re going to learn how to use our hips to improve our motorcycle’s initial drop into a turn and reduce the turning radius for tight maneuvers. What’s more, while all that cool stuff is happening, we’ll gain a more counterbalanced rider position in the cockpit, resulting in more balance and comfort as we go. It’s utterly amazing how well this works, but it can also feel utterly embarrassing as you learn how to do it. The benefits are far too great to pass up, so suck it up, buttercup, and push through it. Don’t worry, you got this! Exercise 1: Unlock Your Hips To kick off this lottery-winner of a lesson, we’re going to unlock the range of motion… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - Vintage Iron, Modern Magic: 2025 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days
AMA VMD packs a lot into a three-day weekend. Bike and people watching is part of the fun. (Photos by the author) From the moment I crested the hill and saw row upon row of tent tops, trucks, RVs, toy haulers, motorcycles, quads, golf carts, minibikes, and pit bikes spread across the rolling green hills of Lexington, Ohio, I knew AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days was in full roar. Now in its 33rd year – and its 30th at the 380-acre Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course complex – the event felt more alive than ever. Everywhere you look folks are having a good time. This year’s VMD was held July 25-27 (Friday-Sunday) and drew upwards of 40,000 attendees and more than 300 roadracers, motocrossers, hare scramblers, trials riders, flat-trackers, and pitbikers. VMD is a high-energy, family-friendly, multigenerational, not-to-be-missed motorcycle festival that brings together vintage fans and general enthusiasts.
