Hey guys, and in this case especially you girls! Tired of wearing uncomfortable gear that doesn’t protect all of your parts? Well, Dainese has a solution for you.

The Italian safety gear maker has designed a chest protector just for women. Like the men’s protector, it’s designed to cushion impacts and prevent penetration (no pun intended? -Ed), protecting the ribs, lungs, heart and all the other organs in there.

Unlike the men’s protector however, the Dainese Thorax Pro Lady (the one with the straps) and the Dainese Thorax Lady are also designed not only to accommodate, but to protect breasts too. Sorry, fat dudes… The one with the straps will work underneath most jackets and leathers, but the strapless version is designed to attach to a Dainese back protector. Ladies, take it from us, your breasts are worth protecting!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Hi guys, welcome to another session of Essential Stuff! Today, i will be showing you my CHROME Citizen Messenger bag.

I should have reviewed this bag eight years ago when I first got it but Essential Stuff had yet to exist! So, after using it everyday for the past eight years, I think I’m pretty qualified to give it a decent review. Check it out!

I really can’t say anything bad about this bag. I have used it rain or shine everyday. From going to school to work, I have used it with every kind of outfit. It goes with anything!

It has kept my books and now my work documents dry in the worst of storms. i have even crashed in it before, and it has stood up to the fall. I don’t think anything short of a direct knifing to it could rip the strap or puncture the bag.

CHROME bags now come in all sorts of color combinations and sizes, so go and get one for yourself!

Stay tuned for more updates!

What’s up guys? Welcome to another session of Essential Stuff. Now, I know we usually review aftermarket parts and accessories but KTM has added a nifty factory item in their PowerParts Accessory catalog for 2010.

The RoadLok Security’s anti-theft system is a model-specific locking system for motorcycles. RoadLoK Security is a developer and manufacturer of and has produced a co-branded anti-theft system for KTM’s cutting-edge street bikes.

Supermoto, Super Duke and RC8 owners can now secure their motorcycles with RoadLoK’s patented locking system which, unlike disc locks, padlocks, or chains, completely immobilizes the vehicle without causing damage.

The lock, which is claimed to be fail-safe, features KTM branding and their signature bright orange color.

Eric Xavier, RoadLoK Security’s Managing Director, said, “KTM is one of the finest brands in the industry, and we’re truly honored to have the opportunity to secure their premium motorcycles.”

The device attaches permanently to the back of the right-hand radial caliper, and uses a pin system to secure the disc.

Brian VanKoevering, KTM North America’s PowerParts Product Development Manager, said, “We were looking to offer a security device that does not negatively affect the performance or aesthetics of the motorcycle.”

KTM owners may be eligible for an insurance discount when they lock their bike with a RoadLok system.

It will cost around $329.99, and is featured in KTM’s 2010 PowerParts Accessory catalog.

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out KTM Boards for more information!

Hey guys, welcome to another segment of IPM’s Essential Stuff. Today, we are going to be showing you the iPhone Bike Console from the good folks over at Tigra Technology.

The Tigra Bike Console for the iPhone is a high quality bike mount made for bicyclists. But we figured that any vehicle with handlebars could utilize this nifty accessory. Check out how we mounted it on our Triumph Street Triple.

As you saw in the video, the Bike Console features removable shock resistant inserts for the iPhone and swivels 360° allowing you to view your device in landscape or portrait view (or upside down in our case). It’s the perfect companion for your iPhone when riding. Fits the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Stay tuned and we will give you a follow up review after we test it out for a few weeks. But at $49.99 MSRP, it’s worth the try already.

Be sure to check out Tigra Technology’s website or more of their cool products. We have our eye on the SoundTREK 1000 speaker attachment!
