Hello and Welcome to The Motorcycle Adjacent Podcast: Episode 12. In this episode, I discuss some amazing Christmas gifts from my Wife, a Cold Solo Ride that I went on to see a Covered Bridge, and a Frigid Adventure with Untamed RideOpens in a new tab. (complete with parts falling off Motorcycles!)

The Gift of Heated Motorcycle Gear

Over the past several weeks, I believe I’ve been sending my wife no-so-subtle messages that I need heated riding gear. Coming through the door with teeth chattering as I mutter to myself I sure could use some heated riding gear is probably what tipped her off.

On Christmas Morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find a new pair of Heated Socks (to replace the ones I have – which don’t work so well) and a Heated Vest. I’m looking forward to putting them to use as I extend my riding season as long as snow and ice allow.

A Cold Solo Ride to see a Covered Bridge

On a cold Saturday Afternoon, I decided to head out on a solo motorcycle adventure to see the Cabin Run Covered Bridge in Lancaster County. The bridge wasn’t in the best shape, but the ride was a lot of fun – despite being 40 degrees.

I ventured to The Morgantown Coffee House to pick up some fresh beans. On my way home, I stopped at the Geigertown Railroad to stretch my legs and look around.

A Frigid Adventure with Untamed Ride

The day after my solo ride, I met up with Untamed Ride. It was supposed to be in the mid to high 30s. Not wanting to freeze, we selected a route that would take about three hours to complete and began heading north.

That ride turned out to be quite the adventure. We had parts fall off a motorcycle, heated gear die, and the threat of riding in the dark to get home. Parts of that ride weren’t very pleasant, but I look back on it fondly as one of my Pennsylvania Winter Riding adventures.

Walt

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.
