I love a good duffle bag and the REAX Poseidon Dry Bag is exactly the kind of duffle I want on my next motorcycle trip out of town.
A lot of motorcycle luggage looks like, well, motorcycle luggage—saddlebags, tank bags, etc—but this bag looks more or less like any old duffle. It’s far from any old duffle bag, however, with tons of advanced features.

The Suzuki GT750 Le Mans came to the world in 1971. It was nicknamed Water Buffalo or Kettle. It was the first liquid-cooled production motorcycle from Japan. The version you see here is a SAIAD-developed racing special.

Continue reading “Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – February 28”As some of my readers will know. I raced a mini bike in the Pull Start Racing League this past year. It was a whole heck of a lot of fun, and I hope the guys that put it together will continue it in 2020. As far as I know, they plan to keep it going.
It occurred to me after a season or riding in the league that there are few opportunities like this out there. I did some searching and found some things, but this is a unique experience and one that I think the motorcycle industry should be taking advantage of.

This means the jacket offers both fantastic protection and top-notch airflow. The jacket is a stylish option, too. The bike features the leather accents where it looks best as well as where it’s the most protective.

While those shoes are certainly a good and affordable option, if you want something a little higher-end, I suggest checking out the Dainese Atipica Air Shoes.
These shoes offer fantastic protection for your feet and ankles while also providing a unique street style. Dainese makes some of the most attractive motorcycle gear out there, and these shoes are no exception.
Continue reading “Dainese Atipica Air Shoes”This past year, I had a chance to ride the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. I co-wrote a review with my friend and colleague Jim Pruner. Both of us came away from the experience pretty impressed with the bike.
While I covered the bike well in my initial review. I thought I’d take some time to discuss it further after having more time to think about the model.

The SIDI Canyon Gore-Tex Motorcycle Boots are a perfect example of what I’m talking about.
These boots offer a lot of good features in a well-constructed boot with one of the best brand names in the business backing it up. SIDI’s products are no joke, and the Canyon boots are worth at least considering if you’re after some taller motorcycle boots.
