Rider Magazine
http://www.ridermagazine.com/ Rider magazine is something that will probably appeal to most Rounders. It is not about any one brand nor is it a "lifestyle" magazine unless your idea of a lifestyle magazine is centered around traveling on your motorcycle. They also support safe riding, training, and we haven't seen any test ride pictures with no helmets. Plus we were on Page 19 of the March 2006 issue.
Ride to Work
http://www.ridetowork.org/ Ride to Work is the brainchild of Andy Goldfine of Aerostich. This non-profit organization is behind the National Ride to Work Day, but they are all about riding your motorcycle on a daily basis and encouraging others to do the same. They have some pretty neat reasons why on their website - take a couple minutes and stop by.
Dealers
Aerostich/Rider's Wearhouse
Aerostich is officially the unofficial gear provider to Rounders everywhere. Their catalog has so many great things for year round riding (not to mention safety, camping, visibility, etc.) that any rider on any kind of bike will be able to find something to make his or her saddle time more enjoyable, comfortable, and safe. Get a catalog for yourself and see if you can prove us wrong. Andy and his fine staff also assisted us with Door Prizes for the first Rounder RoundUP.
Tomahawk Tires
Remanufactured motorycle tires have been used and abused in Europe for years. Tomahawk Tires has brought state of the art laser shearography and re-moulded tires to the United States. (Plus the guy who owns the company is one of us!) Learn more about Tomahawk tires here. Endorsed by El Dookey hisself.
