This event is still a lot of fun and you can definitely find anything you are looking for at the vendors, but what you will not find is any kind of wild "biker rally" style parties. You will see lots of families with kids on the streets, and the police will make sure there is no public nudity. Which is Bad. :(

They have some great bands scheduled to play at different venues around Laughlin, but make sure you order your concert tickets before you go, these always sell out early.

Dainese G. Speed Naked Pelle

Naked motorcycles have become its own sort of subculture over the last 15 years, and it's easy to see why people are so hooked. There's something awe-inspiring and beautiful about an exposed motorbike, showing off its powerful engine and saving weight to improve performance. For those specific enthusiasts, the right gear makes your ride that much more impressive, and Dainese is right there at the forefront of the culture. Adding to the character of naked motorcycles comes the Dainese G. Speed Naked Pelle, an impressive high-end, performance jacket aimed with as much attitude as sheer brilliance.

Constructed of pure cowhide leather treated with resin for a vintage look and feel, the G. Speed Naked Pelle jacket's rustic appearance exudes a rough mentality. But it's not all looks and fashionable design that makes this jacket such a success. Daienese focused its attention to the leather material used, as its abrasion and tear resistant to minimize aging and breakdown of the jacket itself. Although it's not tested as a weatherproof leather, the G. Speed Naked Pelle withstands immense pressure and natural elements rather well. Riders will enjoy extended use from this Italian race-inspired commuter jacket, day in and day out.

The G. Speed Naked Pelle makes good use of a fully zippered front end, securing fit with a double snap system on the collar. Dial in that perfect fit with waist and neck adjustment, improving the mobility in the jacket for that true naked feel. Chest ventilation lets riders breathe easily, because the G. Speed Naked Pelle jacket is a tight yet secure fit. This breathability comes in the form of zippered sections on the chest, allowing for air to flow inside quickly and easily. Pro Shape protectors and aluminum inserts on the shoulders provide protection during extreme conditions such as sliding or front end flicks, although neither situation is desirable.

Perforated models allow for a natural bending feel, something missed in many on-road leathers. Riders can easily store personal items in one of several exterior pockets, ensuring valuables don't stray far from one's reach on extended rides. 

There aren't any immediate issues with the G. Speed Naked Pelle, but don't expect to find any affordable models anytime soon. That high-end price pays for attentive features like a rigid rear neckline, allowing for heavier helmets to rest without damaging the leather itself. Dainese knows they've created a winner with the G. Speed Naked Pelle, so riders will take comfort in knowing this is a jacket for endless miles of enjoyment.

It's certainly not a track day jacket, but the G. Speed Naked Pelle might be one of Dainese's best efforts for the casual sport bike fan base. With a higher-end price point for riders not afraid of spending a little bit extra for premium comfort, dependable protection and downright cool design aesthetics, the Naked Pelle jacket is the complete package. Riders can choose from three different colors to best fit their own riding style: Magnesio (silver), Nero (black) or Testa di Moro (brown).

Best Motorcycle Roads 18 Bridges – Wisconsin ( Guest Post)

Quite possibly the most challenging directions to follow for motorcycle riders in all of Wisconsin, 18 Bridges takes riders on a scenic journey from Delavan to just outside of Beloit. While the ride itself is only 30 miles, riders will be forced to make numerous turns along the way in order to get the most out of their trip. Of course, the payoff in the end is well worth the negotiating directions, and isn't that why we ride in the first place? Strap in and load up your tank map pocket with the 18 Bridges directions, because you're about to experience a bit of Wisconsin countryside riding.

This ride may be best experienced when paired with other rides in the area, although a quick afternoon stroll from Beloit to Delavan never hurt anyone. From crossing state highways and scenic rivers to riding through quiet countryside, the 18 Bridges ride is not to be missed by those traveling in the Wisconsin area. Some of the roads may need a little bit of maintenance from the state of Wisconsin, otherwise much of the terrain is well-kept and easily manageable. After all, experienced motorcycle riders should never be scared of a few potholes and cracks in the road. It's the off-camber, hairpin turns and deathly carved mountain highways that really turn us white like ghosts, and there's none of that here.

Turtle Creek provides some of the best scenery along the 18 Bridges ride. This creek is part of the Southern Savanna Region of the Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail; therefore riders will surely enjoy the natural quality that surrounds the area. Bring your fishing pole, because this is one of the best locations to catch your dinner in the state! Because the ride is so short on the 18 Bridges route, you shouldn't feel rushed at all. After all, if you plan on making a return trip, plan your original ride as a slow and scenic journey and designate your return ride as the fist-clenching, throttle-happy ride.

Winter months can be very unforgiving as far as temperatures are concerned. You'll want to bundle up in one of River Road's heaviest jackets, such as the Mesa or Scout Textile jacket along with your luggage. Wisconsin winters are nothing to kid around about, and they can greatly affect how well you enjoy this particular ride. However, spring, summer and fall rides can be extremely pleasant and relaxing; therefore your attire should not greatly affect how well you enjoy the surroundings. Even for sport bike riders, the terrain doesn't ever exceed one's abilities, so you can leave the track-day one-piece suits at home for this trek.

Unlike a majority of the great motorcycle rides around the country, 18 Bridges is not one that will challenge your very skills behind the handlebars. However, that shouldn't discourage you from experiencing the natural thrills and beautiful Wisconsin scenery should you find yourself in the area on a lonely Saturday evening.

Most motorcycle rides are best enjoyed with family and friends, sure, but 18 Bridges is such a calm ride; you'll enjoy the time by yourself and never know the difference.

Motorcycle Trip along U.S. 101 Bay Area – California

As one of the longest active highways in the state of California, U.S. 101 attracts travelers from all over the world to experience its Coastline glory. At just over 800 miles, the U.S. 101 connects a multitude of California towns with each other, starting with the state's largest city: Los Angeles. Riders will travel northbound through several southern and central cities until they reach the Bay Area, one of the most wildlife-populated stretches of the road. While the entire U.S. 101 should be experienced on a motorcycle at some point in a person's life, the South Valley Freeway, or Bay Area concentration of this highway, is the highlighted feature for riders.

Located just 80 miles south of San Francisco, the South Valley Freeway begins life on the U.S. 101 in a town called Gilroy. Upon entering Gilroy, the 101 expands into a three-lane highway each direction. Once eat leaves Gilroy, the highway turns into a four-lane stretch and is renamed the Bay Shore Freeway before passing through Palo Alto. U.S. 101 changes names a few more times until it eventually reaches San Francisco County and city. Riders have most likely experienced heavily traffic and primarily urban streets thus far, but the payoff of U.S. 101 is coming soon.

After meandering their way through San Francisco, motorcyclists will eventually come to the most famous of all bridges in the United States: the Golden Gate Bridge. Construction completed in 1937, and ever since, the Golden Gate Bridge has been one of the most iconic landmark bridges in the world. Spanning 1.7 miles over the Bay, this bridge connects travelers in San Francisco with Marin County. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is just the beginning of your amazing motorcycle journey, as the natural environment begins to show itself once on the other side. This portion of the highway is designated the Redwood Highway, giving riders something unique and interesting from here on out. The Waldo Tunnel provides a historic feel of passing through a scenic hillside. 

Riders will enjoy the northernmost section of U.S. 101 out of all the sections, as it provides the most scenic and relaxing of the entire 800 miles. Even if you start your journey in San Francisco, you still have a couple of days of beautiful riding ahead of you. Of course, you may want to stop every once in a while and soak in the Californian air around you, as it doesn't get more West Coast than this!

North California tends to be rather tame as far as climates are concerned, especially along the coastline of U.S. 101. A nice leather vest should work nicely to provide both a comfortable and protective ride, as you don't want to over-complicate your journey. River Road offers full sleeve and vest options, like the Harrier, in order to make the most out of your ride. Check the weather forecast before you head out on your trip, but you could do well with leaving your winter leathers at home locked away. This is a trip for you to feel the ocean breeze against your bike, and the U.S. 101 will provide such a feeling.

Europe’s Top Motorcycle Roads For Xmas Vocation

As equally renowned as their transatlantic cousins when it comes to the pursuit of road-based excitement, the Europeans are a bunch who has contributed just as much as, if not more as any other population towards the advent of motorcycle culture. Pioneering as many individual saddlebags, biker jackets and full faced helmets as the Americans, they also share our devout allegiance to the recreation in all of its individual forms.

While mere mention of the many different varieties of motorcycling is enough to inspire a piece celebrating the wonderful variety of our chosen passion, this is an idea best saved for another day.

Today, we shall instead be taking a look at some of the best cruise roads the European continent holds.

The Transfagarasan Highway – Romania

Though tempted, I chose against listing this road choice under its equally as recognizable geographic locations of ‘Transylvania’. The fact that this high altitude Shorty (just 21 miles long) is located in the worlds of literature and superstition’s co-capital should be enough to inspire the more dark-hearted among you to start planning your trip today. Though short, the Highway is action packed- with a host of ancient Monasteries and Castles showcasing some of the best Gothic architecture world over lining the route.

Trabzon to Savsat – Turkey

A wonderful route in the sense that it is relatively short and conquerable (180 miles), yet it supplies many of the benefits of a road ten times of its size. Providing a wonderful mix of lush green continental scenery and bone dry tracks which just cry out for the employment of riding chaps, the road between Trabzon and Savsat in Eastern Turkey runs largely parallel to the Georgian border and calls for your most well-ventilated biker vest.

Antrim Coast – Northern Ireland

A world famous spot for all things biking, the Antrim Coast road runs for 60 miles of beautifully rugged Celtic coastline and is perhaps one of the most motorcyclist friendly places on our planet.

 Legendary TT icon Joey Dunlop is believed to have put in much of his practice on this route and there are a host of annual competitions staged around the area to this day. It’s all in all a very humbling journey, ending at the Giants Causeway just 20 or so miles over the sea from Scotland. One piece of advice however: wrap up warm as it is Ireland; don’t forget those insulated biker gloves.

Bar (Montenegro) to Sarajevo (Bosnia)

A 250 mile road which cuts through the heart of Eastern Europe, this route is tackled only by the most sure of bikers. An immense journey that takes in mountain after mountain and plateau after plateau,

isolation and terrain pose the biggest problems here. An enduro bike is a must as well as fully stocked range of motorcycle luggage.

Cabo de Gata to Grenada – Spain

Yet another rather short ride which does extremely well to include an intriguing array of landscape, culture and climate changes over the course of its mere 130 miles. From the heat of Cabo de Gata up to the cool yet pleasant surroundings of the Sierra Nevada- this route is a must for any Spaghetti Western fans.

A stunningly diverse part of the planet, Europe has a hell of a lot to offer a traveller. From the baron Fjords of Scandinavia in the north to the tropical shores of Greece, Italy and Spain in the south, there’s a lot more going on there than most may care to believe.

Continuing on from my last post about the old world, I hope we are all ready to take a look at some more of the finest biking routes Europe has to offer. Once again, saddlebags at the ready…

Saranda to Vlora – Albania

Yet another Eastern European gem, this route would surprise all who possess the conviction to choose it for their next biking journey abroad. Commencing in the country’s semi-tropical south, the road will see

you pass up into the heart of one of the most scenic nations on Earth. A nation not long escaped of an extremely turbulent history, this route is not for the faint hearted- though pays off immensely for those who dare take it.

Furka Pass – Switzerland

An extreme ride for the most extreme bikers with the most padded of extreme riding jackets, the Furka Pass is a section of road which has been separating the men from the boys since the invention of the wheel.

A tightly coiled route which scales an almost vertical mountainside, I for one think the crash barriers there are in place solely to provide psychological support. Regardless, the breath-taking scenery and the chance for some of the most thrilling ride available on Earth.

Bergen to Geiranger – Norway

A potentially life altering motorcycle route, you’ll likely have to sacrifice those stylish riding chaps of yours and replace them with something a little warmer. Earlier I believe I mentioned ‘baron Fjords’, if this instantly struck a chord with you- then this is your road.

Best spread over the course of a few days, conquering this isolated and stunning road is an ambition likely to require the very warmest of riding jackets. Passing on ferries over a variety of Fjords, through tunnels, past glaciers and over mountains- this is a once in a lifetime type route.

Cat and Fiddle Run – England

The current spiritual home of English motorcycling, the Cat and Fiddle Run tracks for just 6 miles through the north western English countryside. A rite of passage among native enthusiasts, the route is notorious in England as being one of the country’s most dangerous roads. Following several deaths on the short yet challenging run, the speed limit has been cut dramatically- however this appears to have failed in deterring bikers completely.

Amalfi Coast Road – Italy

Known colloquially as the ‘Road of a Thousand Bends’, the Amalfi Coast Road is relatively short stretch at just over 30 miles and joins the vibrant Italian cities of Naples and Salerno. Taking the route in the winter as opposed to summer is advised- as it tends to become clogged up with tourists in the hotter months. Beautiful countryside runs perfectly into either of the two old school and highly cultured cities.

Some of the Popular Biker Movies

Just what constitutes a biker movie is a point of debate likely to provoke a separate answer from each of those you ask.

As a counterculture movement unto itself, motorcycling is known to draw an opinion from most. Whether good or bad, the real point here is people’s usual willingness to provide some form of opinion.

This is surely reflective of the prominence of the pursuit, as well as its image and connotations within popular culture. With many biker movies having been made to include, or even be based entirely upon motorcycles, jackets for motorcycles and the lifestyle each of them project and inspire.

The Great Escape

A movie which rather unbelievably turns 50 years-old this year, The Great Escape is a classic by any stretch of the imagination. Based on the exploits of a group of Allied soldiers imprisoned by the Germans during the Second World War, the movie most notably stars Steve McQueen as a motorcycle vest pioneering, escape artist extraordinaire.

There’s as many gripping WWII action and insight scenes as there are bike chase scenes disguised as gripping WWII action scenes to found here, so it’s definitely worth checking out. The wearing of biker vests while watching in order to better improve group pride is optional.

Hells Angels on Wheels

Though it sounds pretty terrible, this movie may just well be the opposite of terrible. Starring once again the great Jack Nicholson, this is a motorcycle vest heavy jaunt for any devoted fans of exploit cinema.

Taking influence from the reputation of, and the controversy surround the Hells Angels at the time it was made (released in 1967), it’s a rather over the top piece though a lot of fun nonetheless. Oh, and it features actual members of the notorious California based motorcycle club as extras.

The Wild Angels

Another relatively early piece of cinema to portray the then quickly up and coming matter of motorcycle culture, The Wild Angels does so in the expected trashy, western-rip off, yet oh-so magnificent way.

Starring the likes of Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra, it’s an immensely entertaining movie responsible for a whole bunch more of similar movies which were released in the years following.

I’ll bet this movie alone accounts for a rather high percentage of the disregarded, unloved jackets for motorcycles and leather biker vests piled high in dank storage I mentioned sometime earlier...

Faster

By and large the first ever movie to take a leap into the mysterious yet highly glamorous world of MotoGP, Faster was released to a howling reception back in 2003.

As the world champion in the few years preceding the movies releases, Valentino Rossi of course makes a number of appearances and source and subject matter alike.

No biker vestsrequired for the viewing as this one, as it’s a piece surely best suited to those among you who enjoy superbikes and the MotoGP series. Alternatively, it is more than ideal for anyone who remains uneducated on this monumental and hugely popular annual tournament.
