Are you in love with the open road? There is nothing better than hopping on your motorcycle and hitting the road, whether you are riding for the afternoon, a whole day or for an extended, long-distance trip. However you like to ride, comfort is key as the miles stretch on. It’s important to bring along your tunes, plenty of hydration and the safety gear that you need. But more than that, it helps to bring tools with you to be able to do quick repairs on the go, as well as all-weather gear to deal with unexpected rain or shine, food for those beautiful sight-seeing stops and anything else that you enjoy having with you to feel comfortable and secure. You can fit most of this stuff into a backpack, of course, but to really enjoy the freedom of the ride it helps to have the right storage with you. The best motorcycle luggage is going to be convenient, durable and attractive on your bike.

What should you look for when you are shopping for the perfect motorcycle luggage? For many of us, fashion is first; you want the bags that are going to look sleek and sexy on your motorcycle. We recommend investing in leather. Leather is a classic material for any kind of biking and it only looks better with time and wear. Not only that, leather is durable and versatile, giving your luggage structure while also being malleable and adjustable. You can choose leather in a wide range of colors, including classic black, as well as embellishments that allow you to show off your style.

You can use any combination of luggage that best suits your needs on your ride. For the most versatility and convenience, it’s best to get a set that allows you to mix and match the best luggage for your needs. A great set is going to include a set of saddlebags that you can quickly and easily access, for larger necessities like spare gear and clothing. Any set you are considering should also have a windshield bag for the items you want to keep in front of you. For tools, bring along a tool bag that is extra durable and able to withstand the shifting of your standard tool kit. A backpack is going to also be handy on those trips where you might want to take some of your necessities indoors once you reach your destination. The right luggage set is going to be helpful no matter where your travels take you!

Learn About The Benefits Of A Motorcycle Cargo Net

Although there is still an ongoing debate about the differences between a motorcycle cargo net and a bungee cord, these two are not similar. When carrying gear or equipment on your motorcycle it is always advisable to use the cargo net. This is because of the numerous benefits offered by the cargo net. The bungee cord is just a single cord that you will be required to tie to different parts of the bike for you to secure your luggage. However, the net secures each and every part of the cargo safely onto the bike.

Bungee cords are usually designed to secure and absorb shock when the motorcycle is on the move. However, when it comes to containing or securing bulky or oddly shaped cargo, the motorcycle cargo net is highly recommended. You do not have to struggle to ensure that the net has gone over each part of the luggage as is the norm with the bungee cord. Once it is fastened onto the motorcycle’s frame you are good to go.

If you were wondering whether to buy a motorcycle cargo net or a bungee cord, you definitely have the right answer by now. The net offers more benefits than the cord and it is easy and safe to use as opposed to the bungee cord.

In traveling on the open road the use of motorcycle luggage can be  versatile or unique to the motorcycle or the rider.  This one seems to be good for the solo rider in this position on the bike.  On long runs you can relax against the bag .  Great backrest.   Time to enjoy the ride.  Everything is together and covered.   Time to stop for the night.  Just pull it off and take it with you.

Next day you have a rider.  Turn it around.  Plenty of  room.
