So your buddy pulls over in a cloud of smoke with a broken chain piled up in front of his engine sprocket and a busted crankcase. Or he throws his new scoot up the street in a cacophony of sparks and shredded parts. Whattya do? Look uncomfortably at your feet? Cringe with empathy? Hell no. You whip out Mr. Happy and lighten the mood with chirpy platitudes such as “Gee Bill, I’m sure we can find a guy to replicate that casting for big bucks.” Or “That’s OK, that bike was kind of ugly anyway, don’t you think?” Chances are that after the rider in question chases you half a mile down the road and pummels you about the head and shoulders he’ll feel MUCH better.

Be ready with a kind word and light pantomime for any downer occasion. Mr. Happy wants to help. Fits readily in most tankbags. Also good for cheering up rain-sodden rally campsites or bolstering spirits during multi-day bad weather scenarios that have eaten up most of a given vacation or ride.

This lightweight, ultra-compact water-resistant/repellent sil-nylon reusable bag packs anywhere and doubles as a functional backpack. Jam one behind the headlight or a side panel and it will stay there until needed. Or toss inside another pack or Messenger Bag.

They are built to last. All seams are reinforced with binding for durability and strength. The handle loops are tacked and bound, then reinforced again – so they won’t pull off. Two draw cord closure straps of flat webbing secure a quick cinch closure. Bottom corners are reinforced with Cordura pack cloth.

The draw cords lock to desired length so they can function as backpack-style shoulder straps. A small stuff-pocket is located high on the interior to double as easy-access storage for keys or a phone.

Carries fine across shorter surface street distances by threading one’s left forearm through the handles so the bag hangs just in front of the left knee, too. Inspired by Mark Lindemann, motorcycle industry veteran and author of ‘The Total Motorcycling Manual’ (#5506). Blue. 4.5"×3.75"×2" (compressed), 19"×20"×18" (expanded).

A new generation impact protection system for the Aerostich Transit Suit. Specially developed armor provides high comfort with extraordinary security. Maintains impact dampening abilities in both high and low impact situations. These molded pre-curved pads provide secure hip protection. 5 ½” x 7 ½”. Add the optional Supernyl sleeves (#1110, sold separately) with hook & loop mount areas to allow easy fitting in Dariens, Roadcrafters and AD-1s. Includes two (2) TF5 Hip Impact Armor Pads only.

This is the smallest, lightest compressor we carry and one of the most efficient you’ll find for its size. This stripped-down mini fits in the palm of your hand and will inflate any motorcycle tire in a couple minutes. When a larger compressor is too much bulk to carry along, and CO2 cartridges aren’t nearly enough for your trip, this dedicated pump will deliver continuous pressure without fail. What it lacks in beauty, it makes up for in performance – which is what you really need when you’re flat stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Has a nice long 26" inflator hose, 6' power cord, and packs small in included storage sack. Comes with three adaptors: SAE, cigarette lighter and alligator clips. Lock-down delivery valve fits all bikes. Also comes with carabiner clip, so you can attach the compressor to whatever you want out of the way and off the ground, instead of having it lay in the mud or dirt. Simple, compact, and dependable peace of mind. Pump is 3.5"×3.5"×.9". Packs to 7"×5"×3", 1.3 lb.

Draws 5-6.5amps at 12v. Max pressure - Zero to 90psi (bicycle tire) in about 90 seconds.

You don’t seriously need this one. Two to a set. 4.75"×1.25".

You know who you are. You’re among friends here...but across the world of ordinary people, regular workplaces, common hardware stores, consumerized shopping malls, offices, workshops and chain grocery stores…the Road Grimed Astronaut goes a long way. Because most people have no idea.

Let us explain. Do people in grocery stores and gas stations see your onesie coverall or teched-out armored adventure suit as peculiar? Have you ever ridden past a bedraggled looking group of bevested and bechapped riders standing around under a freeway overpass smoking cigarettes and waiting for the rain to stop…and did you smile inside your helmet as you went by? Do bearded hipsters regard the uncoolness of your wonderful habiliment from saddles of their fenderless aircleanerless purified bikes or (more likely) thru their car windows as you ride by them in traffic on a cold dark day?

If some of this is slightly familiar, you are a Road Grimed Astronaut. You have the right stuff. So you might want this.

Additional Information/Resources:

Two lightweight resin bases with strong folding rings that lock flat when not in use. Ideal for bungees, bungee hooks, straps, etc. Complete with fasteners.

Secure your gear with confidence. These compact, heavy-duty cargo hooks mount easily to your license plate using standard 6mm screws—no fuss, just function. Built from tough zinc die-cast, they're the reliable, low-profile way to keep your luggage locked down on every ride. Pack of two (2). Black.

Recommended for both leather and textile gloves. Goes on wet and penetrates and requires rubbing into leather or fabric. A very thin, very runny opaque emulsification that soaks in and dries to a nearly unnoticeable dry-feeling finish. Two sequential treatments (apply, dry, re-apply, dry, wear) recommended. Fairly long lasting. Water beads nicely for some time thru moderate rain exposures.

That cool bike you've got sitting between your legs is officially recognized by the U.S. Federal Government as much more than an amusing toy. These are exact replicas of the signs above the HOV lanes across the freeways of California. They are a reminder that motorcycles are given extra privileges because riding them is social good. We all know that. Unfortunately most of your neighbors don’t. They’re positive motorcycles are self-indulgent toys -- Including yours. Let them know all fifty states have a totally different view, and have installed signs like these above our busiest and most congested roads to announce and declare: MOTORCYCLES OK. Officially. No equivocation. The government knows that choosing riding helps all of us, every time a rider gets on their motorcycle instead of getting into a car. (...thanks Brian). 2" x 9.75" Stick it proudly...

Whip it out for high performance on hot asphalt. The CFSP looks and works better than a flattened can, which is never around when you need one anyway. Stiff and light, the Carbon Fiber Sidestand Plate is about the same dimensions as a pack of cigs (but thin), so it will fit into your pocket with room to spare. Included is a natty Aerostich Ultrasuede carrying sleeve that protects you from earthen parking lot dirt. The sleeve may be attached to the inside of your bike’s fairing so it’s always at the ready. 4"×2.5.

Replacement Mount Strap for Motofizz Bags. Specify Small or Medium/Large.

A simple back-to-back tape, hook on one side, loop on the other, laminated together into an infinitely useful strip. Like double stick tape, when you wrap it around something and then back on itself, it sticks, and also un-sticks and re-sticks over and over. Retains ample shear strength. Could you find a use for this stuff? Thought so. Can be easily cut to different widths and lengths without unraveling. Wonderful for securing radar/gps type things to mounting brackets and for strapping down wires and cables as a re-usable zip tie, but thousands of other uses, too. Features HTH 888 and 889 types, with the world famous style 22 hook. Two kinds (both black, both 1""×36""): Standard is thinner and more flexible (but slightly less strength), or Heavyweight is thicker, bulkier (but stiffer/stronger) for bigger and heavier stuff.

These black plastic coated steel hooks attach easily to the base edge of your saddle providing a strong yet unobtrusive place to hook elastic cords or nets. No drilling or cutting to install, yet easy to remove if needed. Four per pack.

The 62" black nylon utility cord loops over the left grip to eliminate bending to retrieve. When you’re ready to go, just reel it in while comfortably saddled. Includes a “Remove Before Flight” ribbon so you’ll never accidentally leave it behind. Same black ultrasuede storage bag as the CFSP. Made in USA

Features

• Ultra-light and ultra-strong Carbon fiber.
• Parachute cord with hand-grip loop makes it easy to pull it up after you mount the bike.
• Red ‘remove before flight’ flag to remind you to pull it up before taking off.
• As ridiculous as you can imagine, but despite that, it works well.
• Looks cool, sells poorly, so you’ll probably never see another at any moto-gathering event.

Low profile steel strap loops that attach to the top of hard bags (or anywhere) to hold duffels and items with straps. Rugged and light, perfect for 1" straps. Set of 4, with attaching bolts.

Sturdy aluminum capsule securely stores your…um, stuff. Inside storage dimensions measure approximately 3"×.75", with a threaded center closure and a waterproof O-ring seal. Two included keyrings allow fitment to keys, zipper pulls or bag straps, or easily store in a pocket, tank bag or under seat. 3.25"×1". Assorted colors.

These high quality, made in the USA, old fashioned 100% cotton, oversized bandanas are the real deal and can trace their lineage to old west cowboys, farmers and railroad engineers who relied upon them to wipe the sweat from their brow and keep the dust out of their face and collars. Keeping one (or more) handy in a pocket or tank bag will soon provide endless use opportunities. Wear one under your helmet to help absorb sweat and keep it cleaner, tie around the face or neck for sun/dust/wind protection, wear wetted for evaporative cooling effect, blow your nose into one, clean your hands off after a roadside repair or use as a placemat or napkin at a roadside picnic. But not all at the same time. Assorted colors with traditional paisley print design. 21.5"×21.5". Made in America
