Episode 2 - News, Gear Reviews, and Recalls

Show notes for episode 2 recorded 1/2/2009. In news, we discuss the economy and motorcycling, websites that allow you to report road problems, police testing scooters, and an attempt to prohibit carrying a passenger under 14 in Canada. We move on to motorcycle recalls from Ducati, Harley Davidson, Kawasaki, and Triumph. **I mentioned the NHTSA and may have referred to it using some incorrect nomenclature. The acronym stands for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In closing, we provide a quick review on Tourmaster Synergy heated gloves.
