Sundry

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.

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.

Full-face helmets don't have projecting visors, and we all know sometimes this results in glare problems when Riding Into The Sunset. This simple product solves the problem nicely. 100% UV rated and easy to apply, the Sunblocker is a flexible, dark, sunglasses-green transparent strip that applies to helmet shields using static electricity, and can be used on many different helmets. Install it along the top-edge of your helmet's shield and enjoy the resulting decrease in discomfort and fatigue.

Classic and comfortable 100% cotton unstructured cap with hide-away adjustable strap for a perfect fit. Adorned with a sewn on Aerostich logo label. Pre-curved bill. Soft, washed cotton twill. Machine washable. Black, Yellow, Tan, or Grey.

It doesn’t get any simpler than this. The more you ride, the less you drive. The less you drive the more you have — more fun, more time, more money, more gas, more piece of mind... Classic. Retro. Style. Back logo is small and up by the neck. 100% cotton. Burnt orange. T-Shirt (M–XX).

It’s not how fast, or how far. Have fun. 100% Cotton. Grey. M-XX.

A uniquely beautiful gift wrap featuring a bunch of different kinds of motorcycles in a nice geometric pattern. Make your presents look extra special. Sold in rolls of 30"×72".

For the chin bar of your helmet (you get 2). By Ed Peterson. 2.5"×1".

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.

“Yep, it’s me.” Iconic full-size image of the stumbling, overconfident outlaw biker and leader of the Ratz and Mice motorcycle gang from the 1960s Beach Party movie series.

...is more fun on a bike. It’s a lot more fun, and so is wearing this t-shirt, since it makes both riders and non-riders pause and smile. If anyone asks why, you either smile enigmatically like a happy Buddha, or take them for a ride. This approach is a whole lot better than the stupid, arrogant, condescending shirts that read ‘if I have to explain it, you wouldn’t understand’. What self-absorbed baloney.. This is the real thing. 100% cotton M-XX.

Looks great on a bike. Stupid on a car or truck. 1.75"×2".

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...

Workdays are usually filled with stress and deadlines, but getting to work (and commuting back home again) on two wheels can easily be the best part of your day. Go ahead, throw a leg over. Twist the throttle and take a well-deserved brief escape from the everyday routine. Because every ride really is a vacation. Heck, you could even take the long way and avoid traffic. Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone... Enjoy every ride. 100% Cotton. M-XXL. Light Grey.

Help plants grow big and strong by topping off the tank with high octane and riding more. Who would of thought recycling could be such fun?

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.

You may not speak or read Chinese (neither do we), but 1.3 billion people do, including a Chinese-based customer who thought the characters for Ai Si Qi are a meaningful translation for Aerostich. Makes a statement, and in our opinion is a cool looking shirt design, too. You be the judge. Actual Mandarin translates as “Love and Think Riding” or “Happy Good Rider” or something.

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.

They’re not kidding about the “Blaster” part. 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. And that, of course, is a good thing...we all know that stock motorcycle horns are at times rather underwhelming. Fix all that and let ‘em know you’re there with this important safety device. Available in High and Low tone versions. If you are using only one, go with the low tone. 12V. 10A. 3.5"×3.5"×2.5".

A few years ago a customer sent us a postcard featuring this 'Motorbike Monster' painting by award-winning German artist Michael Sowa. Art can be very subjective, so we’ll leave it up to you to as to the meaning of this one, but we thought it was cool enough to share. The title of the original is “Ohne titel zwei”, which translates to “Without title two”...leaving it open to even further interpretation. Regardless of that, it seems like Michael understands a bit about riding’s relationship to our inner lives. If this painting speaks to you, or if you know a rider who might enjoy it, get them a framed 8.5x11" print mounted in a classic black 11"x14" frame with mat, or prominently display the large 29"x20" poster print on the wall in your home, office, garage or workshop.

If your pocket camera, iPod, radar detector, or notebook computer looks like it’s been through the Korean War after you carry it on motorcycle trips, then you need our fleece “stuff sacks.” They are great protection for any delicate or breakable items you might want to carry.

A Large size bag fits perfectly around a Kindle reader for taking your electronic reading on the road. The XXL size makes a great pillow when loosely filled with soft items. A warm camping hat, too.

A self-priming fuel transfer system. No matter where you are, this ultra compact system won’t leave you stranded for long. Throw away that length of gnarly old hose and safely siphon fuel from any gas-powered device without getting a mouthful of gas.

This is one siphon that doesn’t suck. Simply insert the self-priming end into any non-empty gas tank, and put the other end into the transferring container/carrying case (that works a heck of a lot better than a crinkled Mountain Dew can). A few up and down motions and you’ll be siphonin’ away. The handy stopper clip maintains siphoning even when in the “off” position, so there’s no need to begin the process all over again between container transfers to your tank. The included super soak towel quickly cleans up any excess spills and everything fits neatly back into the transfer container/carrying case. Carrying case is 10.1"×2.6"×1.25" and holds 1/8 gallon of gas. Siphon is 68" long. Entire system weighs less than 4 oz.

Found this sticker in a Japanese bike shop. It reads “Dangerous person. If you touch me, I will be cut off”, and means “If you touch my bike, I will snap and go off”. 3.5" diameter.
