Held: German for Hero...

No, I'm not referring to the sequel of Jet Li's epic adventure, although I'm sure it would go straight to DVD. I'm referring to the German company dedicated to quality motorcycle equipment. This family has been making gloves since 1946. They started the Held brand in 1975, selling only motorcycle gloves. These guys know how to make some gloves.

I picked up a set of their Ninja model. They are sweet. They are priced just under $100, so are relatively affordable. I don't want to rewrite such a good review, so check out what they had to say at WebBikeWorld.





Anyway, Held literally translates to Hero. So I'm a Hero now. I can be YOUR Hero if you want me to be.

Now if only I can figure out how to attach this sword to my bike...
