Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – June 5

At the end of the week, I like to take a look at the motorcycle news stories I covered over at Web Bike World and showcase them here.

This week, Comoto, Royal Enfield, and MV Agusta are all in the news. There’s some really good news here, so check it out.

Best Motorcycle Camping Sleeping Bags

I’ve written about motorcycle camping before, but one thing I didn’t touch on was motorcycle camping sleeping bags.

These types of sleeping bags are specifically designed for sleeping outdoors. While many of the brands that make them don’t always have motorcyclists in mind, they have some kind of active outdoor sport in mind, whether it be mountain climbing, hiking, or backpacking.

These activities provide a similar camping situation to that of the motorcyclist. That’s why many of these sleeping bags make for good motorcycle camping sleeping bags. However, there are some things you should know.

Honda CB750 Custom by MONNOM Customs

The Honda CB750 is one of my favorite bikes out there, and this CB750 Custom by MONNOM Customs is a totally killer bike. It transforms the CB into something new and different.

Kudos to MONNOM Customs for being able to take a bike that has seen so many different styles thrust upon it and still managing to come up with something new and unique.

It’s part cafe racer and part scrambler with some interesting lighting choices and a black paint job.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – May 29

I write daily motorcycle news over at Web Bike World, and at the end of the week, I like to take a look at all of the news stories I’ve covered and do a nice motorcycle news roundup here on Wind Burned Eyes.

This week, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and MV Agusta all stood out in the news. There’s some seriously good stuff happening right now. Let’s dive into the news stories for this week.

The Classic Leather Motorcycle Jacket: What to Look for and Some Great Options

The classic leather motorcycle jacket is ingrained in motorcycle culture like nothing else. It’s featured in films and permeated American culture in ways that no other garment has in decades. It has practically defined what a motorcycle jacket is or should be.

And it’s still going strong. While this classic design might not have the clout in the motorcycle world that it once did, it’s still a popular item, and because of that, I wanted to take a closer look at it and makes some recommendations.

The Best Motorcycle Camping Stoves to Buy

If you’re anything like me, you love a good spring, summer, or fall camping trip, and any trip is better on a motorcycle. Cooking is an important part of this and you need to think about what are the best motorcycle camping stoves for your purposes.

Everyone is different, and everyone camps differently, especially when riding a motorcycle. Some folks like to go all out with their luggage options and accessories to the bike, while others like to go the minimalist route and simply slip on a backpack and strap a tarp to the rear fender.

However you choose to do things, you’ll need a good camp stove, and you might as well shop the best motorcycle camping stoves out there. Here’s what you need to know while shopping and some options for you.

Yamaha XS650 Bobber By Eastern Spirit Garage

Of all the types of bikes out there I love bobbers the most. It’s these bikes that first drew me to motorcycles. The simplicity of them. And this Yamaha XS650 bobber built by Eastern Spirit Garage is a perfect example of the kind of custom bike I love.

The Yamaha XS650 is a common motorcycle for customizing, and it’s clear why, it can be made into anything, and looks great as a cafe racer, scrambler, or (as seen here) bobber.

This particular bike is an excercise in simplicity and attention to detail. It’s a master work built by master craftsmen.

20 Best Harley-Davidson Boots

Harley-Davidson motorcycle boots are part of the whole package. Harley riders are in a unique position in that they can get Harley-Davidson branded gear for just about everything. That means helmets, jackets, gloves, and of course boots.

Another great thing is that these pieces of Harley gear are some of the best out there in terms of quality. When it comes to finding the right boots, you want to look for the best Harley-Davidson boots. Harley has tons of great pairs of boots, but I wanted to put together a list of only the very best boots the company sells.

When I say best, I’m thinking of three things: protection, comfort, and style. I combed through all of the options available from Harley and pulled the ones that are the best in terms of those three things. Hopefully, this list will make your search for the best Harley-Davidson boots a little easier.

With that in mind, let’s jump into the news of the week in the world of motorcycles. Savic Motorcycles, Indian Motorcycle, and Harley-Davidson are in the news this week.

10 Best Adventure Motorcycle Gloves

Having the right gear for adventure riding is important, and having the best adventure motorcycle gloves for your purposes is an absolute must. Everyone uses their adventure bike in different ways, so it’s hard to recommend the best gloves for everyone, but I’ve showcased 10 pairs below and that should cover most bases.

An adventure rider is going to see a lot of different types of terrain and riding conditions, and that means that he or she needs to have a pair of gloves that are as versatile as his or her bike.

With all that in mind, I’ll not waste any more of your time. Here are my top picks for the 10 best adventure motorcycle gloves.
