Big changes at BikerwaresI'd like to thank everyone who has given me feedback on the site. Without your input the site would be based on my ideas alone, and probably wouldn't work for anyone but me. But with your help, I've been able to incorporate some really good idea. This last month has been extremely busy. I've been actively make changes to the site to help make it a more user freindly. As with all businesses "Change is the only constant". Bikerwares is no different. Over the last month changes have been made to the overall design of the shop. These changes should help you navigate the site much easier. Every page now has a common navigation bar on the left side of the page that will help you find what your looking for much easier. In addition the shopping cart software has been updated to help make the shopping process much easier and quicker. The upgrade also provide better security to any personal information that is gathered on the site. There have been many new products added to Bikerwares and many of those will make great gifts. Check them all out. Bikerwares is based on the simple premise that if the customer needs it I will do everything I can to provide it. You determine what Bikerwares is so don't hesitate to let me know what changes you want to see. 2006 Biker Event and Rally CalendarI've started updating the Biker Event and Rallay Calendar with the 2006 events. I hope to have the most extensive list of events on the web. If you have a favorite event or rally, send me the information and I'll add it to the calendar. You can check out the calendar at: Motorcycle Rally and Event Calendar Some of the big events are already out there, but it would really help if you can give me some of the local events that have a more local flavor. Let's work together to get events listed in all 50 states. Product Review: Wiley X XL-3 LA Light Adjusting with Brushed Gun Metal FrameOver the last couple of months, I've started riding with Wiley X XL-3 glasses from Wiley X. They are part of the Magna-Seal series of glasses from Wiley X. The Magna-Seal series is a set of metal frames that have magnetic ultra-foam gasket that is easily removed when not needed. In addition the glasses use the patented T-Peg Docking System that turns these sunglasses into an effective pair of goggles. There are several lens choices, but the lenses are not interchangeable. For that reason I chose the Light Adjusting Lenses. Overall, I've been really happy with the glasses. The metal frames are light and sturdy. I've not had the opportunity to use them during the summer and leave the frames out in the boiling sun, but I suspect they'll cool very quickly. These glasses have rubber on the temples at the ears to make them more comfortable and help them stay in place better. The Ultra-foam Gasket is very comfortable and slotted to help air flow around the eyes. Supposedly, it's supposed to help keep the glasses from fogging also, but have found when riding in moist conditions around 40 degrees some fogging still occurs. Even though I did experience some fogging, I've found that happens with all glasses even those with Anti-Fog coatings. Being able to easily remove the gasket is a really nice feature. When I'm riding I've got the gasket in place and don't have to worry about it. Even at high speeds, I haven't noticed it wanting to come loose or anything. Once I stop and just want to sit around I can easily pop out the gasket and end up with a nice pair of sunglasses that are comfortable and look very cool. The T-Peg Docking system is extremely nice. It works by attaching an elastic strap with T-pegs attached through special holes in the temples. They attach very securely and I haven't had to worry about them coming loose or snapping out. The elastic strap is adjustable so that you can make it fit very comfortably to you head. Light Adjusting (Photochromic) lenses have come a long way. For several year I had glasses that had light adjusting lenses. The main problem was that they had to always be made from glass and tended to be very heavy. Well as most of you know, a heavy pair of glass lenses just won't fly when you're riding your motorcycle. First of all glass will shatter if hit by something like a rock of bug. The lenses on these glasses is made from Shatter Resistant Selinite Polycarbonate. This is the same material that bullet-proof glass is made from. While there is no such thing as shatter proof, these lenses meet all of the requirements for safety glasses and the requirements for military frag tests. In other words these are some strong damn lenses. In addition to having a tendency to shatter, glass lenses tend to be very heavy. This of course can become very uncomfortable if you are wearing the glasses all day. As mentioned before, these lenses are made from polycarbonate which is a very light material. I haven't found the weight of glasses uncomfortable at all. Lastly, the light adjusting capabilities of these glasses is very good. Light adjusting lenses by their nature won't get as dark as tinted glasses. But I've found that with these glasses, the darkness is good enough to ride even in very bright conditions. When I'm in shaded or even night the lenses lighten very nicely. As a matter of fact these have become my favorite glasses for night riding. The lenses lighten enough for me to be able to see very clearly, but maintain just enough color to help reduce the glare of on-coming lights. VERY NICE. Lastly, the lenses are able to adjust very quickly. If you're going from light to shadow they adjust very quickly so you won't find your self in the shadows with very dark lenses not being able to see. Over all I like these glasses very much and would recommend them.
