Listener Questions

Scott Dobie - Pandemonium in Trip Planning

For someone who wants to do a trip, [post covid], how should one cope with all the noise? Soft bags, hard bags, smaller bike, large bike, the bike you love, no planning, a little planning, plan your borders, just rock up, don’t worry, just go, don’t be silly…

Scott Dobie - On Back of the Bike

What are some tips and tricks to make the pillion more comfortable on longer trips. Bike brand, bike size, gear, modifications? I have a Honda AT and I love it but [my pillion] gets sore and is not interested in more than short rides. With the pillion strictly in mind, would a GS be more comfortable for the pillion etc?


SAM MANICOM:

Sam’s Long Sleeve Motorcycle Travel T-Shirt

It’s blend of yarns give an incredibly soft feel (which stays soft even with repeat washing),

·         The shirts pack down small, 

·         The creases drop out fast – within minutes, 

·         And they dry amazingly quickly.
