If there was a Mount Rushmore for adventure motorcycle riders, Helge Pedersen would be the first bust sculpted. He literally wrote the book on touring the back roads of the planet on a two-wheels when he published ’10 Years on 2 Wheels’.

His book has inspired an entire generation of riders.

Helge continues to tour the world with his Globeriders team and at Touratech we’re lucky to be able to pick his brain on occasion. He’s been bolting Touratech products onto his bikes for many years and, like Touratech-USA he calls the Pacific Northwest home.

At this year’s Touratech Rally West, we asked Helge to discuss the newest generation of Zega Pro Panniers. If anybody know the importance of great luggage, it’s Helge Pedersen. Not only does he discuss the boxes, but also some of the cool accessories for them.

Matt and Special K at Cinebike are at it again with a very thorough look at the exciting Touratech Guardo Desert Glove. The team at Cinebike truly puts gear to the test and they don’t hold back their thoughts when they evaluate a product.

Touratech Guardo Desert Summer gloves combine all of the best material technologies into one lightweight, airy, summer adventure glove. Perfect for warm weather riding on and off road, the Guardo Desert features a tough leather palm with high impact padding and abrasion resistant super fabric zones, while the top of the glove is constructed from lightweight textile for maximum airflow. The reinforced knuckles give your hands the best protection, while intelligent flexible design keeps the glove comfortable and non-bulky.

The Guardo utilizes the best racing technology from DAKAR, and many other rally and off road races to give you an adventure glove that can go the distance in comfort and protect you in any conditions.

Tim Collins is an avid rider and motorcycle traveler. He’s prepping for an upcoming adventure in 2017, but recently traversed 10,000 miles in the USA in just 5 weeks and shared this sweet video taken from his Touratech equipped BMW R1200GS. Enjoy!
