1-Person Motorcycle Tents for Biker Camping Road Trips

Are you planning a motorcycle road trip? If so, you’ll need the right gear, and that means a tent. If you’re traveling alone, you need a 1-person tent. Finding the right tent can be tough, but you need to make sure to get something that will work for motorcyclists.

While many riders prefer to travel with others, I’ve always enjoyed a solo road trip, and on those road trips, I don’t want to carry a big three person tent with me. When I’m going on a solo road trip, I grab a 1-person tent and and head on my way. Here’s what you need to know about 1-person tents and a couple of options.

CCM Spitfire Six

Do you want a unique production motorcycle that looks as good as any custom build out there? Check out CCM from England. The CCM Spitfire Six is the company’s latest creation and it’s beautiful. It’s a cooler tracker, scrambler style motorcycle.

CCW stands for Clews Competition Motorcycles, and they build bikes in low volumes. For example, only 300 of the Spitfire Six will be made.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – May 15

At the end of the week, I like to do a roundup of the motorcycle news article I write over at Web Bike World. I pull the three best motorcycle news stories and showcase them here.

You want your motorcycle to look good right? That means you not only have to keep your bike clean but you’ll need to use the best motorcycle waxes and polishes to ensure that it looks awesome.

With that in mind, here are some of the best waxes and polishes out there. These are highly rated and products that you can use on your bike to get a shine like no other.

I’ve owned many bikes over the years and if there’s one thing I’ve done with my bikes, it’s making sure they shine and look good. It doesn’t matter if they’re a cafe racer, a bobber, or a cruiser. These are the best motorcycle waxes and polishes to make your bike do that.

Yamaha XS650 Bobber “Big Wheel” by A&J Cycles

The Yamaha XS650 is one of the best bikes to find and customize, and this Yamaha XS650 Bobber “Big Wheel” by A&J Cycles is a perfect example of this.

The bike is an absolutely beautiful machine from the overall style of the bike down to the paint job on the tank. It’s simple, stripped-down, and just plain cool.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – May 8

Every week I take a look over the motorcycle news stories I’ve covered at Web Bike World and I make do a news roundup of the best news articles here on Wind Burned Eyes.

This week, Harley-Davidsion, Confederate Motorcycles, and Royal Enfield are in the news. Confederate’s news is the most interesting and exciting, but RE and HD have some good news as well.

5 Best Cafe Racers You Can Buy

When I think of the best cafe racers, I usually think of old bikes that can be transformed into cafe racers, but many motorcycle manufacturers have adopted the cafe-style onto their new bikes. You now don’t have to customize a machine to get that cafe racer look. You can buy it from the factory.

This is preferable for the folks who don’t have the time, skills, or tools to do so themselves. You can always go to a custom shop, which I highly recommend, but if you just want a factory cafe racer, there are some good ones out there.

Here’s a look at the best cafe racers you can buy from major manufacturers. These machines will give you the look you want with the reliability and support you need.

Forma Adventure Low Boots

Recently, I published an article on the five best adventure motorcycle boots. My picks there are the ones that provide the best adventure boots all around. However, there comes a time when you don’t need a full, tall adventure boot. sometimes you want something shorter like the Forma Adventure Low Boots.

These boots are what you get if you like the Forma Adventure Boots, but you feel they’re a little too tall, or if you want something a little more like a regular pair of boots.

The Forma Adventure Low Boots are an excellent choice for anyone who likes to ride adventure bikes and go off-road but spends more time on the pavement than the dirt. They provide excellent protection, but not as much as a taller boot. Let’s take a closer look.

Custom BMW R80 by Ironwood Moto

I love BMW R80 motorcycles, especially when they’re customized by a group of folks as talented as Ironwood Moto. The guys took an R80 and transformed it into a work of art.

The bike is a striking example of what can be done to these Bavarian machines if you have the vision and the know-how. The R80 you see here has a massive list of custom parts, and there’s so much attention to detail. It’s a beautiful machine.
