One suit. Any ride. 🏍️

The Aerostich R-3 is built around a simple idea: make serious motorcycle protection ridiculously convenient.

The one-piece suit is designed to go on quickly over your regular clothes, making it especially appealing for commuting, touring, and long-distance riding. The R-3 Standard uses 500-denier TLTex fabric, with 1000-denier abrasion-resistant panels at the shoulders, elbows, and knees, plus removable armor. It’s also waterproof, packed with pockets, and equipped with reflective panels.

And then there’s that famous dual-zipper design. Once you get the hang of it, you can reportedly get in or out in seconds.
The R-3 isn’t perfect, though. Ventilation is limited compared with many modern motorcycle jackets, and starting prices are well into premium-gear territory.

But we see the R-3 as a long-term investment: a suit you can clean, repair, alter, break in, and potentially wear for years.

Norton has a legendary name. But can the new 2027 Norton Atlas live up to it?

With a 585cc parallel-Twin, 69 hp, sophisticated electronics, adjustable KYB suspension, and crossover versatility, the Atlas has plenty going for it. But our test also uncovered some quirks.

Dolly Parton was not a motorcyclist. But somehow, she taught us a lot about riding.

She taught us about courage, choosing our own road, and having the nerve to chase a dream even when the odds, or the people around us, said otherwise.

Climbing onto a motorcycle requires a particular kind of courage. For many women, riding can also mean pushing beyond expectations - whether that’s what we're supposed to do, how we're supposed to look, or what we're supposed to fear. It can mean stepping outside the boundaries someone else imagined for us and discovering the freedom that exists on the other side. Dolly understood that.

Dolly took the life she was given and built something extraordinary from it. She reminded generations of women that we don't need permission to be ambitious, adventurous, creative, successful, or different. We can choose our own road.

That's the connection between Dolly and those of us who ride motorcycles. She didn't need to ride to understand the freedom of refusing to stay on a road someone else chose for you.

Ride on, Dolly. And thank you for showing us what a woman can do when she believes in her own possibilities.
