Our Luggage Picks
From duffle bags to luggage, everything has its purpose. We like the Leather from Leatherworks INC. Like this 120 SPECIAL SLIGHT ANGLE LEATHER SADDLEBAGS.
Note: Long straps allow you to secure your leather jacket to the saddlebag when it gets warm.
The 120 Saddlebag has been customized to include a padlock, key lock, gun holster, cell phone case, and basket weave. The benefit is you can take them in at night and keep them locked during the day.
Another benefit: if you go down, the leather takes the impact and saves your paint.
We also like their selection of tool bags and roll bags. The best thing about all of this bike-specific luggage is that when you arrive at your destination, you can simply unstrap and unlock and you are good to go.
On the Road Again
Heading to Sturgis through North Carolina
When it comes to long trips, staying prepared is always a priority. It’s better to have something and not need it then than to need something you don’t have. Packing the essentials allows you to focus on the journey.
It’s all about the Journey! Pack for Sturgis Tips & the Good Times
