Icon Helmets are relatively new, having only appeared within the last couple of years, along with other Icon branded products. The edgy Icon ads have appeared in just about all of the motorcycle print magazines in the U.S.A., but apparently the products are not available in the U.K. or other...

I used to be the world’s biggest fan of flip-up, or “modular” motorcycle helmets. It wasn’t because of styling or comfort or convenience; it was due to poor eyesight. A modular helmet offered the only full-coverage solution that I could find to wear over my eyeglasses. I really wanted to...
The onset of winter has rekindled my interest in 3/4 length motorcycle jackets. Besides their good looks, they provide the...
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around spending 300 C’s for a pair of motorcycle gloves. The numbers keep ticking...
I’ve learned a lot about motorcycle trailers since purchasing this Rocket Fold-Up trailer, no doubt about it. I hadn’t anticipated a couple of semesters at the webBikeWorld College of Motorcycle Trailers, but that’s about the way it turned out. Well, maybe not college actually, but certainly the School of Hard...

Motorcycles are great but they typically don’t have much room for storage. And leaving your riding gear on the bike when it’s parked can be a nuisance. I ride with a jacket and a helmet year ’round, and although I can carry them with me when I’m walking through a...

The air is just starting to get that taste of fall and the leaves are beginning to think about leaving town. So it may seem like a strange time to do a review of the Held Fresh summer mesh gloves. I’ve been wearing them for several weeks, but our busy schedules of...
The Bike-Watch is a nice addition to a motorcycle if yours does not have a standard clock. Easy to install...
High quality with custom-made appearance but I couldn’t get one side to stay put. Ducati owners know that buying the...
How time flies! It was just about one year ago since our Z1R ZRP-1 helmet review. We probably wouldn’t have reviewed it, except that Motorcyclist magazine ran a very interesting story on helmet safety and the ZRP-1 scored very highly in their non-standard testing, so we figured we’d have to give...
webBikeWorld visitors frequently ask for comparison reviews of various products. But there are several logistical problems with this type of...
The first thing that caught my eye was the $54.95 list price for these Komodo mesh motorcycle gloves. I tried them...
I guess I’ve become the de facto KBC reviewer. As soon as we posted our recent take on the KBC VR-3, the emails started pouring in, asking about the KBC VR-2 “Mirage”. We originally thought that the VR-2 was similar enough to the original VR-1 that it wouldn’t be worth the effort...
I was hoping to get this review out of the way several weeks ago, back when the weather was at...
It seems like ages ago since we posted a review of the KBC VR-1, the first of KBC’s “VR” series of motorcycle...
The Rev’it Moto Touring Socks are probably the highest-tech socks you can buy! Introduction The business of reviewing motorcycle products and clothing never seems to get boring. Just when I start to get jaded, something like this shows up on the doorstep! You’re looking at what has to be the...
In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll have to admit right up front that when it comes to vented motorcycle...
The SCHUBERTH J1 gave me one of the biggest slap-the-forehead “why didn’t I think of that” moments in my life....
The “Poor Man’s” Carb Adjustment Sometimes, you can get lucky and a simple can of carb cleaner works magic. The Triumph Tiger had been sitting in the dealer’s showroom for several months with a half-full tank of gas when I bought it in the Fall of 2004. The dealer didn’t...
Well, there goes another theory out the window. Did I once say that fewer helmet appendages would mean lower noise...
It doesn’t get more classic or retro than this, folks. You’re looking at the Barbour International, which has been in...
Sealed motorcycle batteries are a fantastic invention. Motorcycles usually have a minimum of space under the seat or tank, and the battery is sometimes located deep down under the seat, the frame or even the computer. “Out of sight, out of mind” is the saying, and it’s too easy to...
No doubt about it: the original Vega Summit has been the most popular motorcycle helmet of webBikeWorld visitors. Logs show more people...

Much has been written on this and many other sites about “The Quest for the Holy…..” err, sorry…. the “Perfect Jacket” — the one that does everything well, all the time. While we’d hate to pre-empt anything that Monty Python may come up with on this subject, we may have an...
It must be summer in the Northern Hemisphere. How can we tell? The volume of email requesting reviews of mesh jackets...
