Gaerne SG-12 MX Boots

As I’d been happily wearing the hinged Gaerne SG-10 MX/off-road boot for many years, I bought a new pair for a 10,000-mile off-road marathon last summer.

8 GREAT UPGRADES FOR THE YAMAHA WR250R

Yamaha’s WR250R has been one of the most capable small dual-sports on the market for more than 10 years. In January 2020 ADVMoto issue, we kitted one up for long-distance travel with a much larger tank, windscreen, luggage and engine mods. So, while we were in the mode, we decided to build a sportier version of the WR250R which would keep things simple but still provide some fun around home base, at a rally, or even be capable of a little racing. Subsequently, we located a used WR250R for $2,600 and got to work on the makeover.

THE MOST Surreal RIFE OF OUR LIVES

National Route 40 is not only the longest road in Argentina, but also the world. Parallel to the Andes, it crosses 11 provinces, connecting some of the most prominent places of natural beauty and cultural interest in the country. We’d planned to take our time and enjoy the seemingly endless points of interest in the southern part of RN40, but just before reaching the province of Mendoza, we realized that our visas would soon need renewing. The least complicated way to extend them was a “border run,” which meant a ride out of and back into the country from the nearest border crossing to obtain the passport stamps.

Remember when a car meant freedom?

''If the car was invented today and we said this consumer product will improve mobility and productivity, but … it will kill 33,000 people a year in America, do you think the government would approve it for sale?”

Recycling Combustion: Might we soon buy gasoline made from CO2?

I admit that writing about this month’s subject makes me feel a bit like Charlie Brown running toward Lucy and her football. This particular football, as a general concept, is just so alluring: Take a problem (excessive atmospheric CO 2) and turn it directly into a solution that lets us keep driving the vehicles we love—via carbon-neutral gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. This latest scheme solves many of the problems that have yanked the ball on my previous runs, giving me the courage to barrel toward it one more time.

Intake 2020 Audi S4 FIRST DRIVE

Cars like the Audi S4 have a complicated set of responsibilities. They have to be fast, high-tech, comfortable, well-built, efficient, safe, and satisfying to drive—not to mention good-looking. Personally, I prefer the looks of the old car, but that doesn’t mean the new car isn’t handsome enough to satisfy those who can afford the $50,895 starting price.

2020 Hyundai Ioniq RANGE TEST

According to the EPA, the facelifted 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, featured here in Limited trim, should return 55/54/55 mpg city/ highway/combined. Factor in its 11.9- gallon fuel tank, and under ideal conditions, one should be able to make the 526-mile round trip from L.A. to Vegas and back with plenty of range to spare. So that’s exactly what I was going to try to do.
