Being a motorcycle rider living in New England is a blessing and a curse. Easy access to the ocean, the mountains, big cities and rural scenic towns are some of what makes it great to live here.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about Helmet Hair, artificial hair that women can put on their helmets to be stylish. Well, I just found Silly Helmet Covers, which are latex rubber covers that fit over half helmets. I suppose these things are fun if you’re walking (or riding) around at a [...]
