Review: Scorpion EXO-Eclipse Solid

1 week ago | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

Over the years, I have worn helmets from every manufacturer worth mentioning. Scorpion’s helmets have always impressed me with their overall comfort. It’s not just about the shape and pads, but also the soft interior. But the Eclipse is more than just comfortable. Its features and price point should propel it to the top of any rider’s consideration list. The face shield offers a wide field of view that enhances your peripheral vision.

2 weeks ago | roadrunner.travel | Ile Kauppila

North Carolina has no shortage of great, scenic mountain roads for motorcyclists to explore. But even in this distinguished crowd, one section of US 64 stands out. This federal highway is a long one, running over 2,200 miles from Nags Head on North Carolina’s eastern coast to Teec Nos Pos in northeastern Arizona. But what we’re interested in is one small stretch of asphalt in the Nantahala National Forest. Here, US 64 forms an excellent, curvy two-lane playground for motorcycle riders.

You Never Forget Your First

I’m no stranger to wearing a vest during backcountry motorcycle travel. In fact, such a system has become my signature look during any excursion for the simple ability to have water, tools, a first aid kit, communication, and other essentials quickly at hand. With the Apecat 9L Harness, Mosko
Nevada’s Red Desert Jewel-Northshore Road

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Ile Kauppila

Not all beautiful motorcycling environments in America bristle with abundant plant life and teem with animals. The barren, rugged majesty of the desert makes for a charming ride as well. Northshore Road in southern Nevada is a unique one, even among the many great U.S. desert rides. Despite its traversing a decidedly dry environment, the road runs close to the northern shore of Lake Mead—America’s largest reservoir. Hence the name, you know. Yet, Northshore Rd was once also known as Nevada SR 167.
Boring, OR-The Most Exciting Place to Visit

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Ile Kauppila

Booooooooooring! So you might think, but Boring, OR, is anything but boring. In fact, according to the town’s slogan, it’s the “the most exciting place to live.” Alright, maybe that’s a bit of marketing hyperbole, but the sentiment stands. There’s plenty of fun stuff to see and do in and around Boring to keep you from getting bored. But why did the locals give their town such a dull name? Well, it actually has nothing to do with ennui.
City Escape: Grand Rapids, MN

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Ile Kauppila

Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but that’s selling it short—there are more than 14,000 lakes in the North Star State. This all-paved City Escape route takes you to see some of the most gorgeous of the bunch. These roads aren’t blessed with the tightest curves, but they offer an excellent sampler of nature in northern U.S. You’ll pass by many small towns and cities with gas stations, so any motorcycle can complete this loop.
Follow Bonnie and Clyde’s Trail in Joplin, MO

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Ile Kauppila

On the surface, Joplin, MO, looks like any other Midwest city along the old Route 66. A closer look, however, reveals a vibrant town with plenty to do and a fascinating history including a tale of two cities and plenty of lead—in the form of both ore and bullets. Joplin is a city of roughly 50,000 residents, located in a scenic valley on the outer edge of the Ozarks. The area had small-scale farming settlement and lead ore was discovered here prior to the Civil War.
The Birthplace of Route 66-Springfield, MO

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Ile Kauppila

Most riders would say Route 66 begins in Chicago (or Los Angeles, depending on your perspective). But although the Windy City is the road’s starting point, that’s not where it begins. To find the birthplace of Route 66, you’ll have to point your front wheel to Springfield, MO. The city is also nicknamed the Queen City of the Ozarks, but where its actual name came from is a point of contention. According to different sources, Springfield is named after either Springfield, MA, or Springfield, TN.

“People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it,” said Terence Mann. People know why they’re coming to Dyersville, IA, though. They’re coming for the Field of Dreams. In the midst of Iowa’s endless fields of corn, you’ll find a baseball field. This out-of-place sports grounds was made famous (and subsequently named after) by the 1989 movie Field of Dreams.
