You know the weather is bad when you find yourself sitting on a 160-horsepower motorcycle wishing you could trade places with someone in the backseat of a Toyota Prius.
But hey, we wish for strange things when our hands are wet and clammy. Things like a nice metal hook to take place of all these dumb frozen fingers. Or a drive-through microwave to dry out slimy leather gloves no matter the cost.
If you’ve experienced thoughts like these, chances are your adventure motorcycle gloves are in need of an upgrade

We often get comments on our page and YouTube channel asking what kind of adventure motorcycle gear we depend on when we’re guiding motorcycle tours on long trips well off the beaten path.
There’s an old adage out there often repeated by motorcycle riders and (sadly) even a handful of off-road riding schools about standing on a motorcycle that says “If you’re off pavement, you should be on your feet.
In this article, we’re going to discuss why that’s not the “hard-and-fast” rule that it’s often made out to be.
Unlike mankind according to the Declaration of Independence, not all motorcycle bags are created equal. When it comes to motorcycle luggage there are many different options and, while they all serve the same essential function of storing and protecting your precious cargo, they accomplish that function in unique ways. Each with its own pros and cons. When choosing which bags are right for you, you must first decide on which type: Motorcycle Soft Bags or Hard Cases.
The explosion of the big-bore adventure bike segment over the past decade has brought us new releases from nearly every major manufacturer, but few bikes caused the stir that Honda’s CRF1000L Africa Twin did upon its announcement and introduction in 2016.
As our world is faced with a challenge somewhat unique to any previously endured, motorcycle riders will still ride. Whether by breaking rules of quarantine and going for a joy ride, or doing so for work or food, it's going to happen. It's what we do.
