Riding a motorcycle in a group is one thing, but riding alone is a whole different animal.

Motorcycle riders once again have the opportunity to “Follow the Dakar Rally” by guided motorcycle tour or rental, as the famed race will return to South America for it’s 4^th straight year.

Pillaging through the vast display of motorcycle accessories at the Dealer Expo in Indianapolis, I discovered a great product called Pivot Pegz and saw first hand how they work to keep your feet in more consistent contact with the motorcycle.

Let’s see if this sounds familiar: Your motorcycle-riding boots were supposed to be waterproof, but after a few hours … your feet tend to disagree? 

Great touring options to follow the Dakar Rally are now available through RIDE Adventures!

Another RIDE Adventures video review was posted on YouTube today, this time complimenting our earlier review of dual sport helmets:  AGV's AX-8, the Shoei Hornet, and the Arai XD3.

Surely we’ve all experienced over-assurance from others how a movie is going to be “so awesome,” or how a concert event is “the most amazing thing you’ll ever see.”   My experience at the Barber Motorsports Museum had been slathered in such praise long before I arrived, setting me up for almost certain disappointment.  For this reason, I could not be happier to comment on my visit there today by confirming that it is nothing short of INCREDIBLE!

Adventure-minded motorcycle riders are enjoying dual sport helmets for good reason.  With our (typically) significant wind screens and more upright riding positions, we get to use this breed of helmets peaks or visors built-in to block sun, as we head west after a great day of riding.
