Make Your Helmet your Own with Motorcycle Helmet Customization

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Your motorcycle is something you take pride in. You spend hours washing and shining it, everything on it is high end and highly customized. So doesn’t it make sense that you’d want all of your motorcycle gear to be awesome as well?

For a rider who wants their bike to look their best, shouldn’t they want themselves to look their best as well? Motorcycle helmet customization can help you look as good as your bike does.

The amount of ways for motorcycle helmet customization are too numerous to list. Some research can give you many exciting ways. This article will list some of the options that are often chosen.

If you want all of your gear to match your bike, there are ways to do it. Check out the website of your bikes manufacturer, to see what helmets and other gear they offer tied to your style of bike.

For those who can’t get enough of sports, there are many motorcycle helmet customization options out there for you. A helmet with your team’s colors or logo can be arranged through a bike shop.

What if you’ve got a tattoo that you really love, and you want to show it off for the world, but it’s covered when you ride. Talk to a graphic artist about making a decal of the tattoo you can affix on your helmet.

The only thing stopping you from the perfect motorcycle helmet customization is your own imagination. If you can think it up, your local bike shop can find a way to make it happen for you.

Motorcycle helmet customization isn’t cheap, but it’s a great way to show off what you’re interested in while you’re riding. It’s also a good way to stand out from the crowds on the road.

West Virginia Day three

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Today is Sunday, and we are returning home to Virginia from the tour of the mountains of West Virginia. We started the morning at Frenchs Diner in Marlinton West Virginia. Our route was planned to work our way up to US33 east. A curvy mountain road in between Franklin WV and Harrisonburg VA. I have ridden this road before and know there are places you can scrape the pegs on this one. The Goldwing seems to be running well after the smashed oil filter incident on Friday.  We have had great weather for this trip and will have a lot of fun on the roads through the valleys and into the mountains.  US33 does not disappoint with the run up to the state line and down the other side.

We stopped at a gas station in Virginia and the second group of riders catches up to us for lunch. We do get to ride through a brief shower as we are going up US33 toward where it intersects he Skyline Drive, another great ride.

We get near Manassas and split off to head for home. Another great ride with a new bike and new friends.

West Virginia Day two

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

On day two we met up in the Marlinton Motor Inn parking lot and proceeded north on US219. We used the Pocahontas County brochure to plan the route. From US219 we turned onto the Highland Scenic Highway, WV150.

This was a great road riding the tops of the mountains. We were in and out of the clouds and mist. It made for a great start to the day.

We proceeded west on WV39 into the town of Richwood, where we stopped refueled and headed north on WV20.

Riding through the mountains and valleys we joined WV15 curving east, back toward US219. US 219 south led us to WV66. We proceeded east on WV66, a great road with lots of turns and elevation changes, leading to the town of Cass and the Cass Scenic Railroad. We ate a quick lunch in the old company store, boarded the steam train and rode the train up the switchbacks on the side of the mountain. On the top of the mountain we stopped at a recreated logging camp named Whittaker.

A tour guide explained the logging life and the history of the area. We rode the train back down the mountain, doubling back on the route twice. Back in the valley, we saddled up and headed back to the Marlinton for the night. A great ride that I’d recommend to anyone.
