New Time: Monday's LiveStream about Motorcycle Boots

Last week I talked about choosing a motorcycle jacket. I gave you some tips and advice on what to think about when it comes to making the best choice. If you missed, watch now:

WHEN: 9:30 PM East / 6:30pm West (so more Left Coasters can join in!) My last few streams were at 8pm East, so I'm pushing it out so my friends out west can also join :) 

WHAT TOPIC: Motorcycle Boots: How do you choose a pair? What do you need to consider? Why is it not a great idea to buy your motorcycle boots on Zappos? And for my fellow women riders, I'm going to give you ideas for men's boots that work really well for us for different lifestyles including ADV/Race and Touring. We know that men have far more options, but luckily brands like TCX and Dainese make sizes small enough for us to wear. I'm also going to break down fit differences between mens and women's boots.

Bell Helmets Question

Here's a great question from Heidi about Bell Helmets: Also, is it true that Bell U.S. has nothing to do with Bell in Europe? In which case none of the helmets tested in the SHARP study would be available here (they were all tested with good results).

That's partly true. Apparently Bell US licensed the name over to a European company, however, they maintain a close working relationship with Bell Europe in their helmet design/development.   I was told by my friends at Bell that only the Vortex was tested in the Sharp Study.

I'll be writing a slightly longer summary about my visit to Bell HQ in Scotts Valley later this week so stay tuned!
