59: It’s Been a Crazy Year for Motorcycle Travel but the Best is Yet to Come
Tuesday Dec 15, 2020
Tuesday Dec 15, 2020
Regular riding routines, travel, getting together with other riders and events are just some of the things that have been affected in the past year. But while we are missing those things, perhaps we are learning to appreciate the things we didn’t take notice of before. And while we wait to get back to some sense of normal we are finding ways to replace the things we’re missing, like listening to a podcast, or watching a motorcycle adventure film. And sometimes, just talking with good friends might be just what we need to get excited about what the future holds for travel and riding. So, sit back and listen as the panel reminisces and projects life on the road.
