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?
Brake magazine, although nothing current, has a back catalogue. And not Adv but general motorcycling, Front End Chatter.

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.

The Trophy is a great place to start. There are riders of all abilities and experience, and instructors on hand for help and advice. The first day is a training day and a chance to meet everyone, before hitting the road.

It’s amazing how the weight just disappears once you get moving, especially on the BMW boxers as the weight is carried so low. Even at slow speeds.

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..
