Group rides come with their own set of risks now, with the pandemic lurking around the corner. We have been locked in our homes for quite a few months and now that travel restrictions are being lifted in a phased manner, the window of venturing on a long ride on your motorcycle is opening gradually. For the travelling souls who live and breathe adventure tours and long road trips, social distancing has shackled the possibility of group rides and excursions. While you long for the feeling of comradery through the wide empty roads and twisting country lanes, this may just be the best time for a solo tour with your cruiser.
But what is it that you need to enjoy a comfortable ride through the scenic routes of nearby landscapes? Here are 5 must-have GMA (Genuine Motorcycle Accessories) parts from Royal Enfield that will reassure a memorable solo trip.
