Silicon putty earplugs review

I am still searching for the best earplugs and have reached the end of the foam
ear plug range and now and looking at these silicon swimmers type
plugs.These silicon plugs are for me fit perfect every time and they
don't loosen up or come out so while I only get 20db cut in noise from
these they work reliably and comfortably. Bonus is you can still hear things

Vista Motorcycle Cruise Control Review

Vista Cruise ControlI find my throttle hand gets sore at the end of the day when touring and thought I would give one of these a try.I previously tried the Throttle Rocker type devices and they didn't really work for me.

Australia's best motorcycle roads. Bruxner h-way

The Bruxner Highway NSWThis road originates on the coast and runs from Ballina to Alstonville where a friend of mine lives and on to Lismore and out to Tenterfield and beyond.

Shark RSR helmet review

I have had my new helmet out a couple of times now and here is a review.The finish is very high gloss and looks excellent. First thing you notice is how much lighter it is to most helmets, Shark use their own design composite shell which is very light.

Japan motorcycele tour - news flash

I finally found a book about riding motorcycles in Japan (as a foreigner) and travelling by motorcycle and touring about Japan.Its called Motorcycle Vagabonding in Japan by Guy De LA Rupelle and Owen Stinger. Its not as the title suggests and is very poorly named and is merely about affordable travel - perhaps Budget Motorcycle travel in Japan would have been a more accurate title.Its certainly
