Episode 035 - I'm throwing all my motorcycle gear away - Part 1

Summary

In this episode, we reflect on a grueling 12-day, 5,200-mile ride across the U.S. While the stunning landscapes were unforgettable, the real focus is on why my motorcycle gear didn’t make the cut. From cold, rain-soaked mornings to uncomfortable, worn-out gear, this episode delves into the harsh realities of long-distance riding and why it’s time to overhaul my setup.
