The term off-road refers to driving surfaces that are not conventionally paved. These are rough surfaces, often created naturally, such as sand, gravel, a river, mud or snow. 




These types of terrain can sometimes only be travelled on with vehicles designed for off-road driving (such as SUVs, ATVs, snowmobiles and mountain bikes in recent decades, and minibikes even earlier) or vehicles are designed to better handle off-road conditions. Compared to road-going motorcycles, off-road machines are lighter and more flexible, typically having long suspension travel, high ground clearance, and are geared higher to provide more torque in off-road situations.

Side (Saddle) Bag for Motorcycles

 3 years ago when I am just starting to ride the motorcycle, my wife bought me a brown leather classic side bag for my classic motorcycle. I spent a lot of rides with this bag, it really looks cool in the motorcycle but times passes and due to heavy usage, the bag now actually has some damage and needs some replacement. I am curious what to look for but let us explore the online stores and see what is available. The my concern with this bag is that it is not actually made from a genuine leather and you can see in the inside that there is a black rubber like material. Maybe it is there for protection of your items against the rain.  This is actually the side bag installed in my motorcycle. I installed it from the left side. My motorcycle is actually a 250CC engine Rusi Classic 250 model. This is very popular in the Philippines with the classic riders community.
