This time of year taxes have to be paid and taxes have to be filed.   Waiting  for your W2 to come in, you start to think what you might do if you get a refund.  How would you spend it?  Pay bills , put it away for a rainy day or maybe spend it for something you need.  Looking around you start to make a list.  A television, a stereo, a sissy bar bag, tires, clothes, a new phone are just of few of the items you think of.  Now we wait to see what we get.

Keeping resolutions

Well it is the begining of the year and like everyone else you probably have made some resolutions and more than likely have broken most of them.  Like me, if you own a motorcycle, one was to do more riding.  To do that, you need more free time.  Let’s take out the calendar and plan this out.  Once a week, mark a few hours or even a day for just riding .  Keep the motorcycle saddlebags packed so they can just be thrown on and you can go.  Have fun.

Leather Saddlebags at Yard Sale

Reading the classified in the newspaper, I started to look through the yard sales listing to see if any were in the area worth going to.  Always looking for a deal I wrote down the addresses and set out to see if any treasures could be found.  After several stops something caught my eye.  There was a set of old leather saddlebags.  Some of the stitching needed to be repaired and they needed a good coat of oil to bring back the shine.  Would they fit?

Motorcycle Barrel Bag packed for Cold Weather

I was cleaning the house today trying to put every thing away and ran across the motorcycle barrel bag in the bottom of the closet. Finishing up all the cleaning, I dug the bag out and decided to look inside.  I found my cold riding gear.  Chaps, mask, and the heavy riding gloves.   The sun is shining outside but the temperatures are a bit on the cool side.  Let’s put on several layers of clothes and go riding.  What a great idea.

Scooter Covers and Damp Weather

Nothing to do today?  It really isn’t a good day to do anything outdoors like yard work or washing the car.  Maybe just staying in watching the television and eating popcorn is just the ticket.  All the movies on the television you have seen at least once or twice. You could go rent a movie from the store down the road.  No sense in taking the car, there is a break in the clouds take the scooter cover off and go.

Wet Weather great for Checking Saddlebags and Gear

I hate days like this.  The weather is lousy, wet and cold. The wind is blowing, the rain is coming down in sheets, with no sign of letting up.   Not a good day for riding.  But it could be a good day to stay dry and check your gear.  Go through the list.  Engine oil needs to be changed, tire pressures checked,  lights checked, clutch and brake cables lubed, leather saddlebags on.  Since there is nothing else to do, you might as well change the oil.

Scooter Saddlebags and Gas Mileage

With gas prices going up trying to find transportation with great gas mileage is on everyone’s mind. Not only do you look for gas mileage but also look for something that you can use everyday to fit your needs. For short trips to get around town and do daily chores a scooter is good. It gets through traffic well and has good gas mileage. Put a set of scooter saddlebags on and you have space for carrying items you pick up on your way.

Motorcycle Saddlebags for Road Trip

The weather is grey cold and dreary. Your to do list is a mile long and you start your projects but don’t finish them. You are pacing around the house. Every person you call feels the same way. Classic signs of cabin fever.

Best solution, road trip. That will perk your spirit a little. You just got a new set of motorcycle saddlebags and it is time to try them out. You just had the bike serviced and it is ready to go. What are you waiting for?

ATV Bag for Camping

Do you love to go camping? I do. I love to go to places where there are no people, just nature. These days to really get away you either have to hike for hours or take an ATV. Just the thought of carrying all that gear, makes you think is it worth it? Just take the ATV.

Clothes, tent, sleeping bag, food, water. Pack everything in the ATV Bag . Gas it up and you are all set . A day with nature to recharge your batteries
