June 12th, 2010 - Long Distance Riding

How many times have you seen a motorcycle ride past with a black travel bag strapped to it and longed to be with them? Long distance riding is a huge common denominator among motorcyclists. Most every biker longs to cruise long distance. We know this because on a road trip every biker you meet will tell you they wish they were doing the same thing.

What type of preparation do you have to go thru to be a Long Distance Rider (LDR)? What constitutes Long Distance? We have expert riders ready to talk to you about LDR!

Iron Works Publisher Wade Ramsey brings all the “Iron Works Motorcycle News & Reviews” to the airwaves with the latest scoop of what’s happening in the motorcycle world of who’s who & what’s what!
