Let’s be honest: a real rider doesn’t head out in a t-shirt and sneakers. Setting off fully geared from head to toe is second nature to us, and we assume it’s the same for you. Gloves on, jacket zipped, boots laced, and topping it all off: your helmet.

The moment you start looking into intercoms for your motorcycle helmet, two names come up again and again: Cardo and Sena. Together they dominate the motorcycle communication market, and for good reason. Both brands offer quality systems to suit every type of rider. But which one is actually right for you?

Looking for a navigation system for your motorcycle, but have no idea where to start? You’re not alone. At RAD, we get this question daily. Two brands clearly stand out: Garmin and TomTom. Both do what they should do: show you the right way.

Winter often means cold, numb fingers and rapid heat loss for motorcyclists. But it doesn’t have to be a reason to store your bike until spring. With the right layering system, you can ride comfortably all year round.

Anyone who rides all year round knows that waterproof motorcycle gear isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. And in that world, one name has set the gold standard for decades: Gore-Tex.

From gravel tracks in the Ardennes to forgotten mountain passes in the Pyrenees, and from the north of Scandinavia all the way to the Mediterranean: the Trans Euro Trail, or TET, is one of the longest legal off-road routes in the world.

Avoiding a crash is always better than facing its consequences. But if things do go wrong? Then you’d better be well prepared. Most motorcyclists in Belgium have never heard of John Hinds. But anyone who’s ever taken a tumble or seen someone else go down will recognise the importance of his story.

Are you in Belgium and planning to get your category A motorcycle licence? Fantastic idea! Years after getting my motorcycle licence, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I made when I was young (no, they weren’t all bad). Back then, I had to rely on libraries and local service centres…
