Can-Am Spyder RT - three wheeled motorcycle

The Can-Am Spyder RS roadster is the original three-wheeled creation. But because it was the only “reverse trike” on the road, it simply became known as the “Spyder.” Now you’ll have different models to refer to, and the letters “RT” won’t just refer to the BMW anymore.

Further muddying the waters, the 2010 Spyder RT will come in a choice of three model-dependent color schemes, three feature-based models and two transmission choices. Colors include Full Moon Silver, Orbital Blue and Timeless Black, in either manual transmission (SM5) or semi-automatic (SE5), and three model distinctions – the RT ($20,999), RT Audio & Convenience ($22,999) and RT-S ($24,999).

Reviews: YAMAHA XV1300A MIDNIGHT STAR 2010

The Midnight Star 1300 knows which rules of the cruiser bible to break and which to obey. The 60-degree V-twin has the fins of an air-cooled cruiser, but is in fact a hi-tech, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected eight-valve engine. This unique machine fuses classic cruiser character with cutting-edge technology and class-defining performance to deliver an addictive kick of excitement out on the open road or just parked up on the street.

This cruiser style doesn’t have to mean laid-back horsepower. Its engine features forged pistons, 4-valve heads and shortstroke con-rods, so every time you hit the throttle you feel a knockout, low-down punch that turns into serious top-end power.

But its power that comes with control and comfort. Twin balancers tune out all the unwanted vibrations that can make long journeys wearing, but allow the feel-good power pulses that you ride for in the first place.

And it all comes in a package of classic 1930s-inspired styling, with a tight body and low silhouette that’s old-school with a radical new twist.

New Demi-Jet Motorcycle Helmet by Masei

Masei 822 "Demi-Jet" Helmet shown here is another addition to the revived Masei lineup. They are DOT approved. Also, this masei has neutral fit that should fit a majority of owner head shapes.

The helmet includes several colors and the 822 prices range from about US$45.00 for the solids to $55.00 for the graphics - half the price of similar Jet helmet offered by Taiwanese makers. Additionally, this Masei Demi-Jet comes with internal sunvisor.

The internal shape is neutral and tends towards round. Anyone moving to a Jet-styled helmet for the first time from a full-face or flip-up will probably need an adjustment period.

Helmet D-Ring is the strongest buckle but not so convenient...

The tried-and-true "D-ring" attachment system is widely used, very reliable and is used on every racing helmet. All Snell helmets must be with D-ring buckle. Other "quick release" systems have been developed and provided convenience in easy-adjusting, but like trying to build a better mousetrap, none have improved on this basic attachment system.

A D-ring is infinitely adjustable and there are no springs to wear out or plastic and metal latches to break. All of the quick release mechanisms we've tried make it very hard to adjust the tightness of the helmet straps. Accessory quick release latches that are user installed should also be avoided, because they can add too much length to the helmet's strap, making it difficult to adjust correctly.
