OK, I ride a Harley but come here in peace to get advice, lol. Whenever I need advice like this - I turn to a Goldwinger - They have done it all. Really..
OK, I have been riding now for about 12 years, been in all 50 states and ride in all kinds of weather - Up until about 3 years ago, I would just stop and put on rain gear - PIA..
Then I went to http://www.roadgear.com/Technical_Wear/Pants/Tierra_del_Fuego_PantsOverpants/
Good pants and offered Protection and I liked the idea of wearing them all the time..
Well, after three years, they began to leak in the crotch area in a heavy rain - called RoadGear - talked about the problem - I knew the warranty was out - They said to send them in and they would have the manufactor take a look at the linning..
I sent them and Road Gear called to say the pants arrived but the warranty was out - Ya, we knew that - then they said, all they could/would do is to offer to sale me new pants - this tactic pissed me off - I said just send them back..
I have used Techwash each year and taken good care of the pants..
I am now looking for a new pair and come here to get your advice on a good pair of overpants that will offer some protection and also be good for rain gear - I still have a very good rain jacket that I can put on when the weather turns.
Harley riders are good but for Touring advice, I always seek out a Goldwinger - You guys RIDE.
My very first long (for me, lol) trip was 1800 miles and it took me a week. While at a Denny's, we pulled up next to a Goldwing. Got off and started talking, He ask how long we were on the road and how many miles had we logged on this trip - I puffed out my chest and said almost a week and pushing 1500 miles > Then he told me about His current trip. I still laugh about that meeting. He was very nice but his trip was Wayyyyyyyyy longer than mine ever thought of being. I tip my hat to you all - Iam getting there. Last May (and again this May) The wife and I road with www.rftw.org
We did CA to DC and then turned left and rode up to VT and then back to CA - so we are working on it.
Thanks for your advice.
