I have to say. This is the REALEST ADV motorcycle channel out there. No BS. Just real stuff! Not making things complicated at all! Same goes for all of their other videos! I love this channel! Glad I found it!

[@jamesnadua7649]

Not to mention the production quality!

[@gasdive]

Well, I'm going to say the same thing. If you're travelling solo, get yourself an emergency locator beacon. They're not expensive. About the same as a good rear tyre. It means you won't have to go with people.

Which lights do I choose? Which luggage do I choose? Ans:Just ride your motorcycle. Best one❤😂

[@tiger96rolf53]

Thumb up, I like and enjoy your advice. It's all about riding and having fun. Without thinking about comments from somen else. Some one always knows it better what is good for me. I take proposals from you if they fit to me and they do most of time. Thank's Dusty P.S. don't mind my engish😉

[@felipeolivos8934]

[@MrVejavaikis]

So true! I wish I knew it couple years ago 😂 But I did almost everything opposite 😅 Good luck to everyone on they first ADV experience! Just go and ride! Everything else will follow 👍

[@leberkas_adv]

very good advices, throughout on spot.

[@r1dutch]

Love Rim road. Tricky place to ride though. It's easy to get distracted by the view.

Go Simple, go light, go often..................then upgrade after a ton of hours and miles!

[@leonvanderlinden6929]

I’m looking to get into riding after 6 years off of not owning a bike. I’ve only been on cruisers and sport bikes on pavement. Do you have any videos or tips in general on switching from pavement to ADV? This was a great video but I’m looking for how to get started in ADV I guess more than anything

[@ehiggins7476]

Hey Dusty! did you need raisers on those bars? I just bought a Norden, at 6'1" I will try to roll the bars first before I install raisers. As is the bars feel a bit low for my height.

[@SMLPhotography1]

I wish I would have learned early on about the rain gear going OVER the jacket rather than relying on the jacket’s liner!

[@RedRupert64]

What sag figures did you get on the 901? Although I'm of standard weight (85kg) it could get nowhere near what I like (around 30%). I've had to buy much softer springs.

[@nicokohler2726]

Nice spot

[@Anasovz]

Is it normal to drop your new adv bike off-roading? I've already dropped my brand new 2024 Africa Twin 4 times in two weeks.

[@esc_7242]

What GPS is shown in the video?

[@MOTOTREK]

Zumo XT

I'm currently getting my butt kicked in Wyoming by.... The wind.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

ADV? It's a riding leisuretime, not a buying spree. Dusty is right. You can't buy experience. Go for a ride instead. Günter/Nürnberg

Hi , ADV professionals ! Dusty and Bret Tkacs . Please , get out of the woods . We , americans , live in a big cities , like New York City . Not in a bushes , like you do . Come over . Build , at least , small training places . And give the cheap , not expensive $2-3 thousand , as now you do , courses . We will take them . Otherwise , it`s a cheap talk . Cheers !

[@bluesagebrett]

Ok, I will.
