With the year’s most intense heat wave looming on the horizon, the thought of escaping to California’s Redwood Coast for a weekend adventure became insatiable. There’s a unique freedom that comes with riding out of the sweltering heat, feeling the temperature drop with every mile closer to the ocean. The cool wind pushing through my […]

How This RTW Couple Riding With Their Pup Turned Tragedy Into Joy

Jamie Elvidge — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 21:17:49 +0000

We can all agree that a successful multi-year, around the world motorcycle trip requires much more than a sense of adventure. It takes planning, resources and above all, the ability to be cool with all types of adversity. That’s tough enough when you’re riding solo or as a couple, but add animals into the mix, […]

From ADV Noobs To RTW World Record: Odd Life Of The Sidecar Guys

ADV Pulse Staff — Tue, 23 May 2023 18:51:10 +0000

Adventure bikes and travel are often portrayed as the domain of the bold. Magazine adverts show 1200cc giants with long-travel suspension bashing past boulders in African deserts. Travel writers talk about battles with border guards and bandits toting AK-47s. Surely such deeds are only for the brave and the bold, right? Wrong. Matt Bishop and […]

Chasing Trails & Waves On A Motorcycle Journey Through Nicaragua

Maxime Ruiz — Fri, 12 May 2023 18:41:03 +0000

Each of us has his or her own definition of adventure motorcycling: A full day out in the dirt and a couple of beer-infused storytelling sessions, an entire week in the outdoors tackling difficult BDR tracks, a long ride on the Pan American highway top to bottom… At the end of the day, nobody is […]

Slowing Down To Soak In The Strange In The Anza Borrego Desert

Rob Dabney — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 20:33:30 +0000

Something in the air, the water or perhaps the scorching heat, inspires creativity out in the off-grid parts of the Southern California desert. And not the kind of art that is easy to overlook but bold, striking statements that are bound to get your imagination bubbling or at least elicit a few chuckles from deep […]

Army Vets Take On Perilous Darien Gap With KLR650s In New Film

Jamie Elvidge — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 16:51:14 +0000

It’s not the typical ride a bunch of guys on KLR650s take, even if those guys are all former Army veterans with years of active duty under their belts. Nope, undertaking the 19,000 mile journey from Purdue Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina, and especially attempting to do it continuously, is reserved for the most adventurous […]

On The Edge: Journey To The Remote North Rim Of The Grand Canyon

Jon Beck — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 18:20:19 +0000

It’s already getting dark, we’ve got at least 30 miles to get under our belts before camp, and I’ve lost my keys. Why good journeys so often begin with troublesome events I’ll never know, but I am learning to just roll with it. It’s cold, but I’m testing out some new Mosko Moto cold-weather gear. […]

A Moto Expedition To The Fabled Lost Coast

Ken Morse — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 19:00:26 +0000

In Northern California, a four-hour drive from San Francisco, there lies a stretch of coastline lost to the elements. With terrain far too hostile for painting ribbons of tarmac, waves smash themselves into oblivion, with no souls nearby to bear them witness. We would begin the task of taming the stunning shoreline amidst the mythical […]
