If you’re never ridden in a group ride before, it can seem daunting. For starters, you have no idea about whether the other guys in the group who you just met and are trying to look cool in front of think you’re weird for walking with your chest and shoulders out. Yeah, a lot of things that I don’t miss about being 19. Teenage insecurity aside, it still can be overwhelming to keep up with the dynamics of a group ride your first couple of times. In staggered formation (as all group rides are), you always have to stay in…

While most products on the market are overpriced, sometimes they can feel like the opposite. If you’ve been on MotoFour for even a little bit, you probably know about how much we love intercoms. Bluetooth communication systems are widely revered not just by us, but by motorcycle riders in general. And that’s because few additions to your motor arsenal help make long rides and commute as convenient as intercoms.

Now there’s a question you don’t get to see every day. “Listening to music while riding?” Yes. “Seriously? Yes. “There are so many things wrong with that I don’t even know where to begin.” Cool, let me begin for you. Why you think listening to music on a motorcycle is dangerous: The problem “I’ve read up on all those crashes on the highways. A lot of them were idiots with headphones. I don’t need to read mass-produced pamphlets by safety experts to know how dangerous riding with headphones is”. This is a valid fear to have – and an important…

I remember checking out the newly released 2017 Road King at the New York City Flagship store in Long Island, two years back. There were two groups of people present. Those of us who were infatuated but had financial constraints. And the rest who were infatuated without financial constraints. As the salesman conversed with those in the latter group, I started a conversation with this kid from Stony Brook. He was in group 1 too. He had been riding for two years with a hand-me-down Honda DN-01 he got from his older brother. “All I could afford after tuition was…

Have you ever been riding with a passenger on your motorcycle and had to turn your head and shout to tell them something?

We admit: the 300$ you need to spend on a quality intercom is no small figure. Even if you aren’t broke. This is why you need to do a lot of research before you’re sure that you’re getting your money’s worth. But you’re here because you saw Freecom 4+ and Sena 20s EVO in the title, so congrats: you’ve started down the right path. Why? Within the industry, Cardo and Sena are considered to be the Apple and Samsung of motorcycle Bluetooth communication systems– and for good reason. Tech giants like these make riding for the modern motorcyclist so convenient…

From those not in the know, one of life’s biggest mysteries (perhaps a slight exaggeration) is how bikers communicate.
