I frequently rent a motorcycle for my road trips. I fly in to the area where I want to ride and either rent a bike from one of the 350 Harley-Davidson Authorized Rentals locations, or from one of the over 100 EagleRider outlets, depending on which one is more convenient. Before last week, I had…
Sure, it’s winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, and many of our motorcycles are nestled quietly in our garages. That doesn’t mean that there’s no riding anywhere. In fact, some of the best riding in the world is in South Africa, and it’s the height of summer there right now. South Africa is the southernmost…

I hate to be the one to say it, but fall is coming, and riding season is drawing to a close for much of the country. Luckily, there’s still one bigger rally to come: Biketoberfest 2016. This year’s event will be held in Daytona Beach, Florida, from October 13 – 16. The annual event has…
