People often tell me that I’m riding the wrong bike, that I should be on some kind of adventure-touring bike, such as a KTM or BMW. But the reality is I’m not into that style of bike. I know they are well-made machines, which will function incredibly well both on and off road. However, there is something about their vibe, or commonness perhaps, that deters me from wanting one. I also think it’s possible they are so comfortable for long-distance traveling that once you go that route, you never go back to touring anything else. Anyway, it is also true that I enjoy a good challenge.
