So, you want to ride a Motorcycle?

Episode 004: What's In Your Top Case?


Listen Later

In this episode I discuss the Hepco & Becker rack system I have on my Kawasaki Z900RS and the Givi universal base plate I use to make it very easy to switch my Givi V47 top case between this bike and my Kawasaki Vulcan S. I also cover in detail the various items I carry from tools to first aid gear to trauma kit, etc. and why I feel each of these items is very valuable to carry and have on hand. To me, part of motorcycling is about being prepared. For sure you want to get training and take courses, and practice, practice, practice your technique. But sometimes things still go wrong! Not everything is in your control! And when things do go bad, I believe you should be as reasonably prepared as you can be.
