In the video, Drysen explains a few items you will really want to make sure you have ready to go for your trip to Sturgis this year. <a title=\"Motorcycle Helmets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/motorcycle\/helmets\">Motorcycle helmets<\/a> and eyewear, rain gear, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/motorcycle\/boots\">motorcycle boots<\/a>, leather jackets and textile jackets top the list of items you will want to have in tip-top shape to make your trip enjoyable, comfortable and most importantly, safe.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Dennis Kirk, we carry a huge selection of the very best in all these items. We have the best brands for you to choose from as well. Take for instance our motorcycle boots from Bates. They make many styles to suit any taste, many of which have that Harley look, but without the Harley price. Same goes for our motorcycle jackets. We carry some great <a title=\"Leather Jackets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/motorcycle\/leather-motorcycle-jackets\">leather jackets<\/a> from brands such as River Road, I especially like the one&#8217;s with the Grateful Dead motif on the back.<\/p>\n<p>The take away message in the video is; do not get caught without some form of <a title=\"Motorcycle Rain Gear\" href=\"https:\/\/www.denniskirk.com\/motorcycle\/rain-gear\">motorcycle rain gear<\/a>. We have loads of choices of rain gear, everything from a simple poncho, as Drysen points out, to complete foul-weather systems. We have rain gear to fit any budget, so you&#8217;ll have to think of another excuse if you come home all wet this year.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ofHEbczpNvk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I write this, there are only 13 days left until the 73rd Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
