Dear motorcycle enthusiast,

Summer – the best riding time of the year – is in full swing. And while your mileage is up, so is the temperature.

In this issue of In the Saddle, we look to keeping you cool when the weather is hot. We have tips and advice on how to stay comfortable in hot weather and on the best accessories for those sweet summer rides. And we’ve researched the best motorcycle intercom systems, so you can keep up the chatter while keeping your eyes on the road.

Riding season always seems to end too soon, so we're glad to help you make the most of it!

We’re also introducing a brand new ATV quote link. Be sure to click on the link to receive a free ATV quote.

Ah, summer, and the riding is easy. But when the sun spawns desert-like conditions, dehydration, and fatigue can quickly creep up on you. What can you do to avoid potentially serious consequences? A Canadian rider who’s done the Paris-Dakar Rally tells you how to survive the heat.

Sizzling summer days in the saddle call for the right gear to keep you comfortable and protected, from your base layers to your boots. We review hot-weather clothing and accessories to help you chill out..

Tired of trying to shout above the noise when talking to your passenger? Want to use more than hand signals to communicate with other members of your riding group? An intercom system can make all the difference. Here’s what you should know before you buy.
