Last Minute Gift Ideas
(For men And women!) Some of these may be a little too last minute, but maybe they'll give you an idea for what to get someone for an upcoming birthday or other special gift giving event.
Motorcycle tees:
Winter riding accessories:
- BODZ Performance Base Layers. These are ideal for people who ride in chilly winter temps. These act as second skin, managing your body temperature, wicking moisture as needed and insulating when it's cold. Its breathable, comfortable and lightweight. The arms and legs are a little longer on purpose, so if you know someone who may have trouble finding baselayers long enough, these will be ideal.
- Fleece neck warmer. Perfect for those chilly rides home late at night.
- Givi T451 Easy Bag BackPack $58 This bag actually holds a full face helmet! Extremely useful, especially if she doesn't have any secure luggage on the bike to store one.
- Kriega Stash Wallet $18 Such a useful looking wallet. Especially if she's a traveler and doesn't like to carry a purse while riding. I may just have to get this little number myself!
- Kriega R15 (waterproof) Backpack $109 This backpack is fully waterproof, and can be combined with a number of Kriega's other rucksacks to make a larger, more flexible pack. It's also fairly small and well suited for a small person under 5'5" due do its size and compact fit.
IMS San Mateo 2011
This is going to be an amazing show! Finally being in / near my hometown is awesome. I live in San Francisco but I was born just 2.5 miles north of San Mateo. And of course, we all know how kickass it is to live and ride in the Bay Area. Also, the women's center last year was referred to as well, the women's center. But this year, it's called "WE RIDE". Trust me, you don't want to know what the alternatives were.
Here are a couple of updates about the show:
Elena Meyers
On May 15, 2010 at age 16, Elena Myers became the FIRST woman to win an AMA Pro Racing professional motorcycle road race, at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California.
She's an inspiration to women riders everywhere. She's going to be at the show THIS SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20 AT 2:30PM at the We Ride (women's center) area answering all of our geeky motorcycle questions, signing autographs and taking pictures. You KNOW you want to meet her!

Second, I'm going to be talking my ass off this weekend. I'll be giving my 'Gear For Your Ride' seminar (covering all my shopping tips) for everyone who needs a little help when it comes to shopping for technical gear including how to tell if it fits, body armor placement and more. So come see me.

We Ride Photos
Thank you to everyone who visited us in the We Ride (women's center) area in Dallas this last weekend. I wanted to share these photos with you so know what to expect at this year's shows. We're working hard on adding even MORE apparel manufacturers into the center for the rest of the tour. So stay tuned for updates!!
