RideFarGear
Adventure & Touring Motorcycle Gear, Tested on the Road
Honest, rider-tested guides to the luggage, comms, protection and comfort that actually hold up when the miles get long — and the pavement runs out.

Who’s behind this
Ridden and written by Dylan Hart
Five years and a lot of miles on Honda’s 500 adventure platform — loaded tours, gravel, and the odd track day. RideFarGear is where I write down what actually works out there, tested and honest about the trade-offs.
