Motorcycle Touring 101 – Part 2

In part two, I discuss the safety side of motorcycle touring: provention, protective equipment and emergency situations.

Here is an excerpt:

There are two kinds of riders. Those who have fallen, and those who will. I am an ATGATT rider. ATGATT means "All the Gear, All the Time". It is a nuisance - and extra work, but I like to error on the side of caution. When people ask me in the 100 degree Arizona sun, "Aren't you hot in that leather jacket?" I often respond, "I'd rather sweat than bleed."
