THE 2019 DIRT ORCAS STATE OF THE UNION

2019 is nearly in the books. It has been a life changing year for me on several levels. I took some great trips, grew to new heights professionally, and most importantly, I am now a father to a wonderful baby boy named Cole. He is everything. As the sun begins to set on the year, I wanted to take a look at the state of all things Dirt Orcas and share my thoughts on the year that was with all of you.

WHATS THE DEAL WITH HEATED MOTORCYCLE GEAR?

If you have ever taken a motorcycle ride after the temperatures start to drop, you'll certainly have had that experience of feeling cold. Perhaps it was caused by exposing your bare skin to the wind. Perhaps you set out wearing inadequate gear. Maybe you were only planning to ride a short distance and something caused you to be out far longer than you intended. Getting cold on a motorcycle can easily happen for a variety of reasons and all of a sudden you notice that your knees are numb or you can't feel your fingers pulling in the clutch lever. If any of this sounds familiar you might really enjoy wearing heated motorcycle gear on your rides.
