I just heard yesterday that Charley Boorman was in a motorcycle accident in Portugal. He broke his left tibia, fibula and right ankle requiring surgery.

I bet he’s home by now and beginning his road to recovery. I can relate as my road to recovery just got longer even though my cast was removed on Feb. 12.

Waterproof and within the handle bars. That’s how I like my bags.
BTW…new vanity plate coming soon. 👌
I all ready have AltRider protection and I feel they are the best out there. Taking off the head lamp shield is a piece of cake to clean. The gang out there in Seattle at AltRider are always thinking…. Continue reading “Jesse Luggage & AltRider = QUALITY”
I have moved back to the States from Canada just a little over 2 months ago. The Transition back has been not without complications.
