Scorpion Yukon Jacket And Pants
Adventure Motorcycle (ADVMoto)|July/August 2017

I’ve always been one to groan about bulky, cumbersome gear. When I first saw the Scorpion Exo Yukon suit I thought it looked like futuristic riot gear and I would be walking around like a mech warrior.

Initially, that turned out to be true, and several people expressed the same sentiments. It was stiff at first, and while also breaking in a new pair of boots, I walked around like Robo Cop. This didn’t last too long, and the suit began to loosen up after a few rides. Some of my testing took place at March Moto Madness, in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, an area with water crossings, hill climbs, fire roads, lots of mud, and various temperatures through elevation changes. This type of riding made me a believer in what some would call excessive gear.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
