Adventure Rider Magazine - June - July 2019

En este asunto

Issue #35 of Adventure Rider Magazine attended some the country’s biggest adventure riding events. Yamaha’s Tenere Tragics, Ducati’s Adventure Tour, KTM’s Rallye Tasmania and BMW’s awesome, 25th anniversary GS Safari are all covered, along with spectacular and challenging rides through Mongolia, Canada and Alaska to the Arctic Circle, and a particularly breathtaking father-and-son ride through Peru following the Dakar Rallye.
As always, the photography and storytelling are as big as the adventures themselves.
