Do you have a specific look you want for your bike?  Most do.  Some love the sleek look and clean lines.  Others may want the cruising look.  With a set of motorcycle saddlebags that are easy to get on and off  you can have both.  Put your bags on the bike, pack your gear and you are all set to travel the road.  Take the bags off and you have your bike ready to run around town with your friends.

Keeping things safe and dry on a motorcycle or scooter is very important.  No matter what you have or what you are carrying, everything is important.  Even going to the grocery store on your bike, carrying all those bags when you get home can be a chore.  How about a bag for your motorcycle saddlebags.  You could put all your stuff in this one bag and when you get to your destination just pull your one bag out and go.

Those who ride always want to have what they need with them whether it is a ride around town or one that will take a few days.  The touring bikes with the hard saddlebags always seem to have plenty of room.  Over time the seals will wear and may not keep your gear dry.  A simple solution is an insert for your bag.  These bags can be fitted for your bag with a handle for easy pulling out without taking the whole bag off.

The weather was so nice this weekend.  Everybody was out.  I was at work, but I could see all the bikes riding.  There were bikes with single riders and there were bikes with their kids on the back.  It seemed like everyone had a plan as to where they wanted to go.  You could see the  motorcycle saddlebags were packed with gear and there were even some bikes that had no bags at all.  Each had a destination.   I hope everyone had fun and was safe.

What a great weekend.  With the holiday and spring break running together it seems everyone was out.  Even with the threat of rain it didn’t seem to change anyone’s plans to get out and enjoy themselves.  The beaches were packed.  The motorcycle saddlebags were packed and everything was set on go.  The plan, there wasn’t any, just get out and ride.  Wherever you ended up at you knew you would have a good time.  Spring is here and the winter blues is gone.

Today I was on my way home from work  and saw something I thought was very interesting.  These people were riding their bicycles and they were loaded down.  They were packed like they were traveling long distances. The part that was so interesting, was that each bicycle had a set of motorcycle saddlebags on the front tire as well as stuff packed on the back. The bikes were going at pretty good pace and everything seemed balanced.   What a great idea to keep your clothes secure and dry.

With all the traffic on the road these days, have you ever wondered where they are going?  This particular weekend is Easter and I can imagine most are going to relatives for the holiday.  Or maybe just going out of town just to get away.  The bikes are packed with their motorcycle saddlebags on  filled with clothes and maybe an easter basket for their younger relatives.  Wherever they are going I hope all will make their destination safely.  Have fun.

The weather is nice and there seems to be no chance of rain today. You check you schedule and your to do list and find that you can get everything done  and still get some riding in at the same time.   Let’s wipe down the bike, put the hard saddlebags on and pack them with rain gear just in case.  One last look around the house and everything is in order. One last check over the bike, all you need is to fill up with gas and you are ready to go.

What a great weekend.  Everybody was out with the weather being so nice .  Even though I was at work, I could see most the bikes with their hard saddlebags on.  Even though it was sunny most of the time, the clouds did seem to try and roll in.  A good thing,  showers were in and out and sometimes hard.   They could keep their rain gear with them as they were out.  Everything  was dry and ready whenever it was needed.

looking for that classic look?  Something that people will take a second glance at?  Here is a motorcycle saddlebag  with the conchos, studs and fringes that can do it for you.  It is an easy zipoff bag with a heavy duty velcro cover and lock.  Plenty of room in this 15.5″ x 6.5″ 12″ on the inside,  with four pockets.  It also has four tie down ribbons on each side for an extra secure fit.  Don’t worry about getting anything wet, it is waterproof.
