Gear

Man does not ride a bike naked. It chafes and you miss out on buying all kinds of cool gear! If you’re a gear-head like me, about the only other endeavor that beats out motorcycling for buying stuff is photography. Trust me, I know this from experience.

If you add dual-sport riding to the mix, you get to buy camping gear as well!

Anytime I read about someone taking long trips on motorcycles, whether it be across the United States or across remote continents like Asia or Africa, I enjoy reading about their adventures but I also have a compulsion to learn about the gear they use. Many authors neglect this aspect of their travel writing.

Since I’ve been racking up a fair number of miles, and am getting into dual-sport riding, I decided to create some sections on my blog devoted to the gear I use, both on and off the bike.
