For a long time we carried a line of American Made Headwraps that we were pretty proud of.  They had lots of styles and colors that the motorcycle enthusiast truly loved.  Problem was the price point was to high for the likings of our customers.  In addition the reliability of the supply just wouldn’t cut it in terms of the standards for service we require for our customers.

As a result we found a new supplier that has an even better selection, value and reliability.

Whether you call them headwraps, head wraps, doorags, doo rags, dorags or skull caps they are one of the true accessories that define the biker.  Not only are they a statement of what we believe, feel and think, but head wraps are a practical necessity to protect our helmets.

There are literally going to be 100’s of choices in these American Made DoRags.  We are going to try and make the selection as easy as possible by providing the following classifications of our headwraps.  Click on any of the Categories to see all of the biker doo rags included in that category.

Every once and awhile we go through our warehouse and discover a gem that we thought was long gone and no longer available. We just found one of those. The Wiley X XL-3 Magna Series Light Adjusting motorcycle sunglasses was one of our favorite models. These glasses not only offered the best trainsitional / photochromatic lens qualities on the market, but they we’re cool and extremely functional. The glasses have a light metal frame in a great brushed gun metal finish and have a removable eyecup that is held in place with magnets. In addition, they have a great strap that can be attached to hold these sunglasses in place for those bikers that like to leave flames in their tracks.

We have a very limited quantity of these great glasses available, so hurry and get yours today.  Buy them now using the button below our check out more details at: http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=143&rn=649&action=show_detail

LONG POND, Pa. (Aug. 3, 2008) — Team Wiley X driver Carl Edwards won Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. It was Edwards’ fourth win of the season and the 11th of his career. The Wiley X pilot crossed the finish line 3.858 seconds ahead of Tony Stewart.

David Ragan (5th) and Mark Martin (8th) also scored top-10 finishes for Wiley X.

When rain started to fall at Pocono Raceway on Lap 127, teams began to rethink their pit strategy. Some teams gambled that rain would shorten the race while others gambled the race would go the distance even though NASCAR was forced to red-flag the event for 41 minutes due to the weather.

Edwards’ team made the right call as the race did go the distance — 200 laps, 500 miles.

“We thought we’d made the wrong call and Bob (Osborne, crew chief) and I were really arguing,” said Edwards after scoring his 11th career Cup victory. “I’m trying to make a little fight of it. I just can’t thank my guys enough and everybody for hanging tough.”

With five races remaining before the championship Chase begins, Team Wiley X has three drivers in the top 12, which is the Chase cutoff. Edwards is third, Greg Biffle eighth and Denny Hamlin 10th. Close to the Chase cutoff are Matt Kenseth (13th) and Ragan (14th).

Buying sunglasses can be a challenge, no matter if you are buying them at your favorite optical shop, motorcycle shop or online.  There are many factors that come into play.  One of the most important factors is the shape of your face and the size of your head.

Face shapes are usually classified as round, oval, square, diamond, or oblong.  Each of these face shapes have different sunglasses that will fit properly and have a complementary look for the face.  The following is a summary of the face shapes and the appropriate frame styles for each:

Round face

A round shaped face needs straight lines to counteract the curves so look out for rectangular or square frames.

If you have a large face then you can pull of the large, bold sunglasses that gives you the A-List celebrity look. Best to avoid round sunglasses as this will exaggerate the curves and the frames should be wider than they are deep.

Heart shaped face

If you have a heart shaped face, beware of too-wide sunglasses that will make chins look pointy, but you can probably get away with more styles than most. The best style we have found for this face shape is the aviator.

Oval face

This is the wear-what-you-like face shape so pretty much anything goes. This face shape has the most balanced proportions allowing you to play with the styles! Find your favorite sunglasses and you will look great.

Small face

It can be hard to find sunglasses that work if you have a small face. If you are not a confident person and adventurous with your style, then we have a nice selection of sunglasses for you.

If you do have a small face, you can still wear oversized sunglasses. Stay clear of thick frames if you don’t want to draw attention to yourself too much.

Long face

With a long face it is best to wear a rectangular frame to add width and help balance out the length of your face. A low bridge on the sunglasses may also hep shorten the length of your nose.

Square face

Square faces can look best with rounded sunglasses, or curved sunglasses like many of Ray-Ban’s collection. Angular sunglasses may emphasize a square jaw. There are plenty of quality, fashionable sunglasses for you to choose from.

Triangle face

A triangular shaped face will have a wide forehead, but small chin and rimless sunglasses can really work well and look good. You may wish to select frames that are winder at the bottom.

Finally, the Bobster photochromic glasses are exactly what I was looking for. They look good, fit good, and go from clear to the right amount of tint perfectly. Do what they say very well, 3/26/2007 Reviewer: Anonymous from Acworth, GA I got tired of swapping riding glasses from clear to smoke or vice versa. I already knew from wearing RX eyewear that photochromatic lenses never get as dark as sunglasses. But then again sunglasses don’t get lighter either! When I got them and rode I was impressed. The smoke tint got plenty dark enough for me unless riding right into the sun. For normal riding and use they get enough you can’t see my eyes behind them. But the real advantage is at night when they don’t just get lighter, they turn CLEAR. Now that I have to wear glasses instead of contacts, I’m considering sending them in and getting the RX photochromatic lenses put in. very pleased, 3/2/2008 Reviewer: Larry Ivie from Ft. Worth, Tx. I’m very pleased with these sunglasses. They get light enough for night riding & dark enough for riding in the sunshine.
