But many riders take their tires for granted, forgetting to properly inflate and care for them. Tires are actually the easiest part of a motorcycle to maintain. Preventive maintenance can save a ton of headaches later on.
Many women – and men for that matter are often intimidated to work on their own motorcycles and don’t know the first thing about diagnosing problems or making minor repairs. A new book, “How to Repair Your Motorcycle,” can help riders navigate the technical side of their motorcycle.

I can never have too many choices for motorcycle luggage. Ive been riding for almost 20 years and it seems every time I go on a trip, I have a new set of backrest bags Im using or in this, case, testing.
