This episode discusses essential items for motorcyclists and strategies for staying dry while riding.

What do you always carry when you ride—and why? This episode dives into everyday carry (EDC) for motorcyclists: the essential items riders keep close at hand, whether it’s a short ride or a long haul. We also talk about staying dry—what works, what doesn't, and how riders deal with getting soaked on the road.
