This simple cable allows you to plug in coaxial heated motorcycle riding gear to your battery tender pigtail. If you buy heated gear, such as a pair of gloves, it will come with a fused battery harness similar to a battery tender quick connect (it just has a different plug on the end). If you’re like me, you don’t want more than one harness on your battery. It will start to look like a birds nest if you keep adding connectors! That’s where this handy little SAE-2 to coaxial adapter comes in handy. It is available at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com for $9.95 plus S&H.

You may want to run both heated gloves and a GPS unit off your battery tender pigtail and you can’t make up your mind which one is more important. I have the solution! Run both using this SAE-2 Splitter Extension in conjunction with the Heated Garmet Adapter and the 12 Volt Power Port!  The Splitter Extension is available for $12.95 plus shipping and handling at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com

What do you do if you don’t have heated gear and want to get toasty? Get yourself some heated gear at your local Harley-Davidson dealer or from a reputable online supplier such as Riders Discount.

The motorcycle industry has embraced the female market segment. Women riders although still a minority are not uncommon. Women riders are empowered! So why do we have an exclusive segment of HOG special for women? My wife prefers to be treated as equal, not special. So as you guess, my opinion is that LOH should be replaced with something more up to date. 

Harley-Davidson, HOG and each local chapter of HOG are challenged with attracting the under thirty market segment. HOG Chapters are filled with middle aged members, but where are the twenty somethings? Perhaps HOG should consider a special young adult group. Call it LT30 for “Less Than 30″.

The only problem I see with going this route is: where do you draw the line? If you have a special group for women and a special group for young adults then you need to treat all minority groups special. Where would it end?!

So I ask you:

What do you think of LOH and the idea of a new youth oriented group? Can you think of any new sub groups? Did I drink too much beer tonight and I am off my rocker?

Thank you to our new sponsor Riders Discount
