We like to think we ride our bikes everywhere, right? That no horizon is too distant, no riding day too long. We are MOrons, with iron butts and steely hearts. But no matter how tough your tush, no matter how much intestinal fortitude you have, there are plenty of situations where it just makes more sense to put your bike and all its ancillary needs onto (or into) a trailer.

What if there was one rally each year that you could go to? What would it be? If you’re an Overlander – a vehicle or moto-based outdoor explorer with the self-contained means to go practically anywhere – the ideal rally will have all your favorite gear vendors and manufacturers, beautiful, scenic camping areas, social events, seminars, films and vehicle demos, classes, tailored one-on-one instruction and a skills challenge with prizes. Does that exist?

Akrapovič. You might have that word on your bike’s exhaust, and you’ve certainly seen Akrapovič’s distinctive logo on thousands of racing vehicles over the years, from MotoGP, WorldSBK, MXGP to Dakar and even to four-wheeled competition in the FIA World Endurance Championship. When Jorge Lorenzo clinched the 2015 MotoGP World Championship for Yamaha, Akrapovič took home its 100th world-championship title; just 15 years after American Colin Edwards (Honda) won WorldSBK title in 2000, first world championship title for Akrapovič exhaust.

It’s on rainy, cold nights like this one that I’m glad I have a garage. Looking at your motorcycle parked outside as it’s pelted with rain, sleet, hail, mud and other unpleasantness can make you weep with impotent rage. Cover it? Motorcycle covers are a hassle to put on and remove. First, you have to wait until the bike cools to avoid melting the cover to the exhaust. Plus, they can blow off your bike, get shredded and messy-looking, and trap moisture underneath, which can cause rust and mold. Nasty!

Overland Expo is the premier overlanding event in the world – no other event offers the scope of classes taught by the world’s leading experts, alongside a professional-level trade show that brings together, in one place, all the camping, vehicle, and motorcycle equipment, and services you need to get outfitted and get going, whether it’s 100 miles from home or 10,000 miles.

A full fairing with supersport styling provides a sharp look that’s unmistakably CBR, along with aerodynamic lines that slice cleanly through the air while helping to shield the rider from the worst of the elements. A sporty riding position places the rider in a comfortable, dynamic seating stance that’s ideal for mastering curves without being overly cramped when it’s time to commute across town or out on a weekend journey.

No doubt about it, Honda’s all-new 2017 CRF450R has re-ignited the competition in the 450cc motocross class.

It used to be death and taxes; now you can add insurance to the list of things you can’t escape, in 45 of the 50 states, anyway. Like any trillion-dollar industry, insurance seems simple enough on the surface but in reality it’s a highly evolved system employing thousands of workers whose main goal is to earn money. Your main goal as a consumer should be to minimize your premiums, but also to realize that riding around with no, or not enough insurance can separate you from everything you own in the blink of an eye. Herein, we attempt to find happiness somewhere in the middle.
