Intermediate Off-Road Training

Flashy power slides, wheelies, jumping off things, climbing rock steps, and riding the notorious Black Bear Pass like nobody’s business—that’s more or less the image that comes to mind when I think of the words “intermediate” and “off-road training.”

Wandering To The Worlds Southern Most City

I’d not yet reached the border between Bolivia and Argentina when I was stopped by police. They were friendly, but asked me to bring my luggage to the X-ray room for inspection. As their RR: Ruta 40drug dogs showed no interest I was quickly on my way.

Between The Snow And The Sun - Just Plain Good Riding

Washington State’s Cascade Mountains present a fearsome face to the Pacific Ocean, soaring Canada: Between the Snow and Sun to 14,411 feet at Mount Rainier’s peak. East of the range, in the rain shadow of these giants, the Columbia Plateau simmers under the summer sun, with temperatures climbing in excess of 100°F.

The Cariboo-Chilcotin

One of my favorite regions to ride in British Columbia, Canada, is the Cariboo-Chilcotin, stretching from the Pacific Coast to the Cariboo Mountains. Tourism calls it the land without limits, and with a myriad of diverse ecosystems packed into one awesome area, there are plenty of riding options. Highlights include the dry landscapes near the Fraser River, dense forests, wilderness camping, alpine mountains, and vast grasslands. And… you can get all that from only five days of riding.

The Survival Triangle

Ten years ago while working as a journalist in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, I bought my first motorbike, an old Suzuki SX 150 dirt bike for commuting around town. In a short time I found myself taking off on weekend adventures along the coast and into the mountains. And while I no longer live in Asia, I go back there to ride two or three times a year. I’ve had a few close calls and have come off once or twice, but I’ve never broken a bone or written off a bike.

Johnny Campbell’s “thing for Honda” started at age nine when his dad brought home an XR75. For me, it was riding my neighbor’s XR100 at age 11 that triggered my obsession. Now that we have a legitimate ADV option from Honda, it’s making some of us grown-ups feel like kids again.

Capturing The Aurora Borealis

I was only seven when I saw it for the first time. Sitting on a couch, wedged between my parents, I was bored out of my skull watching some "stupid old person's" documentary about somewhere called Alaska. That is, I was bored until the point in the program where the night sky lit up in a brilliant green with waves of light dancing across the heavens! That's when I realized that magic was real.Since then, I've been in awe of the Aurora Borealis. . . fantasizing about what it would be like to look up and experience the magic happening live.
