2010 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide

Martin Balerdi — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:02:48 +0000

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.

Shoei VFX-W Motocross Helmet

Bravado Living — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:16:09 +0000

While we’re not big fans of helmets, if you must wear one, then it might as well look cool. The aggressive styling on the Shoei VFX-W achieves just that. Using a new shell-forming technology that allows even consistency across the helmet, and the ability to create new and radical shapes, Shoei was able to create a motocross helmet that satisfies our need for style and function.

It doesn’t just look good either. With a glare guard, quick release latch, and detachable cheek pads for easy removal in case of an accident, this helmet is designed for heavy use. Hell, this thing looks so good, we wouldn’t mind wearing it off the track.
