Off the Bike You don’t always have to be cruising down the open road to continue your motorcycle hobby. Attend a motorcycle show or get a group of fellow enthusiasts together to share
With the changing of the leaves comes the end of summer. For motorcycle riders, that can mean an end to warm days of freedom on the open road, but there are plenty of ways to ride in the cold weather. Continue your riding through the chilly temperatures by trying some of these ideas. StayWarm Staying warm in the chilly fall air can be a little tricky. Look into full- face helmets and insulated jackets to keep your head and torso warm, along with specialty gloves (even heated ones), boots, and pants to keep your limbs warm. Pack extra layers for added warmth, and plan your routes carefully to include warm-up breaks as you tackle the challenging beast of the winter road. Plan a Trip Ride out to the Eastern Shore and take in the cool temperatures of the Carolinas in the fall. Or venture west and choose between the crisp autumn of the northern states and the lingering heat of the Southwest. Be sure to understand each state’s rules of the road, and consider your gear for each climate to ensure a fun and safe ride across the United States!
