1 GIDDYAP

Timeless styling meets long-lasting durability in this 100-percent-horse-hide limited-edition Bell Helmets jacket ($900) made by Schott N.Y.C. (think Brando, James Dean, etc.). This classic racer jacket has rally stripes and Bell logos on the shoulders. Side buckles optimize fit, while cuff zippers make getting on/off easy. Includes a zip-out liner.

2 EAST MEETS WEST

BMW's R nineT roadster has been a smashing success, with demand outpacing production. But if you really want to hear the boxer twin’s glorious music, uncork it with Yoshimura R&D’s RS-3 slip-on exhaust ($379). The aluminum canister, with a turn-down tip made of machined aluminum, includes a low-volume insert.

5 NO HANDICAP

Don’t miss that tee time because you don’t have a car; just throw DV8 Sports’ portable golf clubs/bag ($499.95 to $899.95) on your back and ride to the links. DV8’s patented, tool-free coupler allows club heads to be interchanged on one or two custom shafts (stiff, regular, or ladies/senior). The entire set weighs less than 15 pounds.
