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.

Closer to a traditional wallet and holds about 16 cards, plus bills. Nylon (5"×3.75").

You won’t find flatter, more inconspicuous and lightweight wallets anywhere. These will carry all you need for any journey, whether it’s a quick errand to the store, or riding beside wildebeest in Africa. They’re better for your back, and help prevent wallet sciatica. Choose leather, Leather RFID (to keep your card data safe) and ultra-light ripstop nylon (which is flatter than flat!). Carry nice in front or back pocket. Patented too, believe it or not. The leather version of the Executive is most recommended. The Anti-RFID versions look and feel identical to the regular models, and prevent tech-savvy bad guys from stealing the information that is encoded on your credit cards. Made in America

These are very bright. Red versions (solid or flashing) make nice added tail or brake lights, white lights enhance visibility as an auxiliary running light. The reason to use the brake light version is obvious. The reason to add one to the front of your motorcycle isn’t….and is this: Not for roadway illumination, but to make your approach more obvious to those ahead. Why? Because anything unusual stands out. Locating one of these, always-on, next to a front turn signal or beside a headlight turns the usual head-on appearance of a motorcycle into something slightly irregular, thus more clearly standing out from amongst the rest of traffic. Rain and weather proof. Machined aluminum bodies. Includes ‘L’ mounting bracket. Sold in pairs. 1.18” x .8". 3W, 12V. Choose Solid White, Solid Red or Flashing Red.

Note: The wires connecting to the micro-circuit board inside the aluminum light housing are fairly small. We recommend adding 'silicone seal' to the hole in the light housing the wires pass through to provide strain relief and lessen the chance of a wire breaking in use.

These pressurized (nitrogen-filled) ball points were actually developed so astronauts could write in outer space, but they are equally wonderful for marking damp maps, writing on soggy paper placemats, or philosophizing on greasy bathroom walls. The Bullet model has a removable clip, and a short, smoothly-rounded shape that lets you carry it in the front pocket of your jeans without getting stabbed in the thigh (3.6" closed, 5.3" open) Specify: Chrome, Black finish or Solid Brass.

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 horn generates a shattering 132 decibels and will likely get just about anybody’s attention, even if they happen to be ensconced in a giant SUV with a phone glued to their ear.

Editorial Review, And You Thought Riding In The Rain Was Hardcore, City Bike

A fun children's picture book about motorcycle riding monkeys. Ideal for parents and grandparents who want to share their passion for riding motorcycles with their children and grandchildren. Vibrant and colorful, the book also serves as a great introduction to motorcycles for children. Mimi and Moto are seen riding various styles including motocross/enduro, sportbikes, two-up, choppers, cruisers, cafe racers, and even a sidecar! The lessons to be shared through the characters and story are that: motorcycles are fun, safety is always first, boys and girls ride, and there are many different kinds of motorcycles. For ages 1 & Up and Early Readers. By Nancy Gerloff and Mark Augustyn. Hardbound, 8.2”x8.2”, 12 pp., color illus.

An evocative exploration of women motorcyclists, unveiled in an alluring layout of words ‘n pics, resulting in unconventional eradication of stereotypes about female riders. This is a stunning visual celebration of the varied cultures, lifestyles and passion for motorcycles and riding...from the sassy young racer girls to wind-roughened seniors, leather-clad outlaws to chic corporate climbers. The beautiful collection of photographs is complimented by intensely personal prose, offering a glimpse into the inspirations that guide women riders. One of those rare books that energizes the spirit and really is hard to put down. By Christina Shook. Hardbound, 8.25"×8.25", 154 pp., color & b/w photos.

A hat like this is a simple thing. It seems. But not really. The purpose of this cap is to be compact enough and light enough to be able to be stored un-noticably in the front long-zip pocket of any of an Aerostich (or other) riding suit or jacket, so when your helmet comes off you can protect your head, and shield the sun from your eyes.

A leap forward in shock cord technology and versatility. This easier to handle stretch cord features rugged nylon hooks that won’t scratch paint or metal. The hooks can be placed anywhere along the cord. Create custom shapes for holding awkward items using two, three, or four hooks placed anywhere along on one cord.

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.

This clear pocket attaches with hook & loop to the left leg of all Darien and AD-1 pants and Roadcrafter suits. It's great for holding maps or directions when you're not using a tank bag. Includes adhesive hook & loop for easy installation on other garments or your bike's fuel tank. Best for small and medium suits/pants. Made in USA. 8½” x 6”

This zippered window pocket attaches with hook & loop to the left sleeve of all Darien jackets and Roadcrafter suits. Perfect for a mini door remote or parking pass, it also works well with an EZ Pass or Highway Toll Pass, allowing you to roll quickly through a tollbooth by simply extending your left arm. It'll also keep a compass easy to see and well away from nearby metals. 6.5"×4.5". Made in USA

A classic silk scarf should be soft, thin and slippery — so you can wrap one around your neck, close up your jacket and rotate your head and neck all day in draft-free comfort, without chafing. These luxurious 100% natural silk scarves are handmade of a soft, dense weave that’s perfect for riding. No synthetic fiber is warmer, softer, stronger, or more durable.

Silk provides maximum comfort across every temperature range: warm and draft-blocking when cool, and refreshing when worn wetted during hotter conditions. When you’re traveling this durable silk washes perfectly in any sink, too — even with a simple bar of hand soap.

The Standard Scarf model is medium weight silk of sensuous softness, and measures 14"×72". The Competition Scarf model is similar to the standard model but two layers thick, and it is a bit narrower and shorter. It measures 10"×60". Both are premium quality, long lasting pure silk that will keep the wind, rain, dust and snow from blowing down your neck, and will pack away ultra-small inside any pocket.

No other neckwear works this well, or looks this cool.

"I’ve always had a fondness for white silk scarves. They’re good for all occasions."
