ZERT Coffee & Chaos 77 – Gear Up: Preparing Your Motorcycle Open Road Journeys

Back on the show today we have Paul Taylor, a fellow rider and ZERT Firearms instructor.  Paul enjoys the best of both worlds when it comes to riding a motorcycle with his street bike and his dual sport motorcycle.  Whether you are planning a long ride across the country or just spending a day cruising around the state in which you live in, it’s important to make sure you are prepared.  The scene is a bit different when you are limited on space and have a long journey ahead and it’s important to understand what is essential and what can be trimmed down.  The planning of the longer journey requires you to be diligent and accurate when it comes to having the right gear with limited space.  Some motorcycles have options for adding on hard side bags and even your packs but you never know what kind of emergency situation you might end up in while out riding.  Thanks for joining us today to hear about some of the things that we think about before heading out for a ride.
