Adventure seeker fueled by wanderlust and a love for two wheels. Prefers the road less traveled—usually because it's covered in mud, rocks, and a healthy dose of questionable judgment. Why take the easy path when the off-road one makes for better stories?

It may be worth reminding everyone that, on this social network (unlike the more musky one that it imitates), likes have essentially zero effect on a post's visibility: only reposts do.
If a post is worth sharing with others, you should repost it: a like just shows private support to the author.

In a few days, the annual Saudi Sportswashing Extravaganza begins. I used to love the Dakar Rally - seems like such an adventure, and the visuals are stunning - but I stopped watching when it moved to Saudi Arabia. It is being staged to distract from the fact SA is a brutal and murderous regime.
Highest execution toll in decades as Saudi authorities put to death 198 people
Despite repeated promises to limit the use of the death penalty, Saudi authorities have ramped up executions.

Can also recommend taking a one day adventure riding course. Gives you way more confidence off-road, especially if you have a heavy bike. And a great way to meet a few people to ride dirt with.

Reason #62 to ride on dirt roads: usually tighter curves so slower speeds still provide lots of fun while reducing potential for injuries. Also a much reduced chance of encountering other traffic.

Watch 'The Spy Who Loved Me' for a Z900. At 16 I worked at a petrol Stn nr Slough. A guy came in on a Z900 and put in 50p of petrol in. He'd collected the bike from Kawa and he was going to Pinewood studios then it was going to Sardinia and it would go off a cliff in a Bond film. I cried..
