Fuelly Tips
It seems freakin’ weird to be writing an article about fuel economy for motorcycles, but here we are. Gas is through the roof and what once was a pleasant way to waste $30 on a weekend is now more like wasting a day’s pay on the weekend. Nevertheless, here goes:…
Making the Best of It
One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about the pastime of riding is how changes seem to exist outside of you. You’re not only moving in (and through) a place, but as we ride, the environment we’re riding through changes, too. That high country backroad that’s closed in the winter…
Nevermind the Prices
First things first, prices on EVERYTHING are through the roof. It doesn’t matter if you’re fertilizing a field, getting a tank of gas, or buying a drink at the store, it’s ALL gone up. Plenty of folks are struggling, and I’m willing to bet a few bikes are going to…
Why You Don’t Want To Do It Yourself
Last month, a buddy of mine asked me about a set of heads I had tucked away for a rainy day project, and as I dug around the top shelf in the barn, I found the reminder of why I don’t do leather work. A seat for a 1988 or…
Conquer the Chaos
Right now, it seems like the closer we get to riding season, the crazier the world will be. Gas prices through the roof, inflation is making every-damn-thing expensive, and at this rate, I figure we’ll either be forced to sit on our bikes in the garage and make motorcycle noises…
A Long Strange Trip…
So in my last post, I shared a little bit about Schott NYC and their leather goodies. Full disclosure? I’ve got one of their coats and it feels butter-smooth, even now at the beginning of its third riding season. Now, though, I want us all to think back to one…
Getting Ready For The Ride
Look, we’re all getting antsy about the riding season, even down here, where “cold” weather is practically shirt sleeves for our brothers up north. Nonetheless, I thought it might be smart to take a few minutes this week to share a few things you ought to look for before you…
Groundhawg Day
First, let me state the obvious: I have no idea where in the world you are reading this. Due to that, I have no idea what the weather looks like there. Warm, cold, snowy, sunny, whatever. What I do know is this: warmer weather is inevitable. Spring is coming, and…
Leaving Only Footprints
As I mentioned in my last post, it’s been a weird winter. Not a lot of riding, and a lot of this weird feeling of being “disconnected.” Why? No idea. All I know is when the Boss Lady won her a trip to Hawaii for two, I was in. Now,…
Somewhere Sunnier
So, the truth is, it’s been awhile since I’ve had anything great to write. No, there hasn’t been any drama – no Covid, no lockdowns, hell, the weather’s even been pretty good, even for south Georgia in winter. …But something’s been … well, “off” the last few months. Like when…
Conceal and Carry Motorcycle Gear – Gun Concealment Options for Motorcyclists
The reasons why you need to conceal and carry while on your motorcycle is your business. Whether you’re law enforcement or someone who chooses to carry a handgun for protection, trying to conceal and carry on a motorcycle without the right motorcycle gear can be a somewhat challenging. The challenge is…
What Size of Leather Vest Should You Buy?
Leather is a very unique material with a long tradition of use in fashion and clothing. Today leather vests and different leather products are almost always made from animal hides. In most apparel for men, leather vests will be one of the most robust items in their wardrobe, making it…
