Viaterra Gear Repairs: How to make your gear last longer

Being a motorcycle rider is not easy; it is one of the toughest things to do in human life, especially if you’re a long-tour rider or adventure rider. Let us take an example here: You’re planning your dream road trip on a motorcycle, and it is an entire circuit that will cover Leh-Ladakh Khardung-la Pangong Lake and Spiti Valley. On top of that, you’ll start from Mumbai.

You have packed yourself with all the necessary luggage and equipped yourself with appropriate riding gear. This way you start your journey, from Mumbai to Delhi, then Delhi to Chandigarh, and then to Himachal Pradesh. Till now, your ride has gone smoothly, and you hardly encounter any problems.

The real problem starts when you enter mountain roads and the road quality gets from better to worse. That’s where your real mettle and skills as a motorcycle rider are tested, where you challenge the harsh terrains, and chances are you may fall as well. On the entire ride, you overcome your fair share of challenges and you complete your ride with a sense of pride and satisfaction.

The different set of challenges you face

As exciting as the above example sounds, we believe that a rider faces challenges in two different ways:
  • During the ride
  • After the ride

As explained earlier during the ride, harsh terrains and road conditions test your skills and mettle, and now after completing your ride, damage is obtained to the bike, luggage, etc. This is another challenge you will face.

The usual solutions

If it damages our bike, we can take it to the service center or any local trusted shop, but what do we do for the luggage system and other gear? We either take it to the local shop for repair or we completely repair it.

Why repairing your luggage and other gear from a local vendor is not a good choice?

Motorcycle luggage systems and other gear use special fabrics and materials that make the build quality and sturdiness of the product. Also, every brand uses its design mentality behind the product they make.

Your local vendor may not be familiar with the material use, and in return, they can damage the luggage and other gear even more!
