Autumn is upon us and it is the time of year that we start covering up for the impending temperature drops. Now you can dig up all your old mothball-infused sweaters out of the back of your closets and the bottom of your storage boxes, or you can give yourself an early little  Yuletide goodie in this great woolen masterpiece. This Fairisle-Print sweater is an eyeful of intricate designs immortalized in soft, warm wool. I love fairisle patterns, they always remind me of  Cosby sweaters and this one in particular seems to be an enchanting mixture of navajo patterns and arabic mosaics. The colors are bright and cheery, something I would normally shy away from in the cooler seasons, but I just can’t say no to this sweater.

I really enjoy the v-neck on this piece, it really makes this sweater a little more hip and sexy. This sweater is a great choice for early spring and fall, when the weather is just beginning to cool. I would layer it with a nice solid colored long-sleeve collar shirt and some dark khakis. I would avoid covering this up with a vest or jacket just because I wouldn’t want to cover up the great print design. This sweater is  a great investment for the casual wardrobe, it catches the eye and keeps its focus squarely on it.

A leather bomber jacket is a great add to a wardrobe, great for cruising and great for hanging out at the local beer garden. I would go so far as to say that any man’s wardrobe is incomplete without a great looking leather jacket. This jacket is reminiscent of the classic “bad boy” look, but has a real  touch of genuine style as well. Rag & Bone might not be the only ones bringing the bomber jacket back for this spring season, but they are the ones who are doing it with the most flair. The chest pockets alongside the great distressed leather really give this jacket an appealing vintage feel, which is almost always a plus for me.

Bomber jackets are making a comeback this spring and this jacket is really setting the bar up high. I like the fact that the light weight of the jacket makes it ideal for slightly cool days and nights, which also makes it ideal for cruising around on a bike. Jackets like these are worth owning, and if you can’t own it, worth coveting. I mean, this jacket is way nicer than anything Arthur Fonzarelli would’ve whipped out.

The Wide Glide is a new addition to Harley-Davidson’s Dyna family. You can easily spot a Dyna by looking to see if the dual rear shocks are exposed and whether it has an underseat battery box. The Dyna series is a great way to get into a big twin Harley without having to put out a second mortgage, being relatively inexpensive. The base price for the Wide Glide is only about $14,500, which is practically a steal for what you’re getting. The moniker Wide Glide comes from the wide-placed 49mm fork laid out in a generous chopper-style rake of 34 degrees. There is consistent contrasting between the black and chrome, with wide chrome triple-clamps being accented by black handlebar clamps while the the 40-spoke wheels with black rims and the black headlight bucket are highlighted by a chrome bezel.

Unique to the Wide Glide is is a black battery box with a chrome “Wide Glide” logo, a mini sissy bar and a new two-into-one-into-two “Tommy Gun” exhaust with slotted heat shields over the rear header. The fuel tank(4.7 gallon) has been raised 0.75 in. while the suspension has been lowered to give you a seat height of 25.5 in. off the ground. The low seats increases the rider ergonomics and gives you a better sense of confidence while cruising.  In lieu of a traditional stoplight, the Wide Glide uses red-lens turnsignal lamps as stoplights. The Wide Glide comes in three different colors: vivid black, redhot sunglo, and vivid black with flames. This is a real nice-looking bike, with the graceful curves that Harley-Davidson is famous for.

SEADOO, the aquatic vehicle company that is synonymous with high-velocity aquatic fun, came out with a new jet ski in 2009, the RXP-X255.  Jet skis are probably one of the most exciting things you can do out on the ocean besides hosting gladiator fights out in international waters.  They’re just one of those things that easily lend themselves to great times, able to kick up the fun notch on any beach day.
