100 Years of Adventure Motorcycling

I thoroughly enjoy reading many of the tales of the road from people who are riding the world right now, and I love soaking up their enticing blend of joy, fear, disaster, and good times.

Rottweiler SOLERA Intake/Filter System Review

We all love our modern KTM LC8s in the 1050, 1090, 1190, and 1290 platforms. But, let’s face it, we do not look forward to servicing the air filter after spending the weekend in the dust. Servicing the filter on these models is a pain in the ass and takes away precious riding time. We all know service is the…

"Bearback: The World Overland" Review

As an increasing number of adventure riders take their tales to the written page, the pickin’s just get better. Bearback, by Dr. Pat Garrod, is no exception.

It’s an evolving design that masterfully combines comfort, safety, and versatility, which is why it’s become a go-to helmet within the ADV community. If you’ve never ridden with a modular helmet,…

I finally decided to see if the Sargent Low Seat would help my comfort on the bike when stopping and riding offroad.

2025 Kawasaki KLX230 R/RS First Ride Review

You and I didn’t start with a full-on race bike when we climbed onto our first motorcycles. The play bike segment has its place in the riding community that has launched many riding careers. This segment has been growing over the last 10 years, and manufacturers have been improving their models ever so slightly along the way. Kawasaki successfully debuted…

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vs. CFMoto Ibex 450

Biggest Differences and Which One is Better for You? There was once a time when lower displacement adventure motorcycles offered a bare-bones experience. Yes, they were affordable and beginner-friendly, but that was more or less it. They were usually stripped of the more expansive features you’d come to expect out of a bike that was supposed to take on the…
