What is adventure riding

Adventure is where you find it.

Any discussion about which adventure is the only true form is just pointless redneck drivel.

I agree.

Last weekend I rode through town, did the legal speed limit (and some) down the main road (SH2), then continued down a gravel road to my olds farm. Once off road, I ripped around the hills doing a very bad impression of Ricky Carmichael.

Now this was hardly an adventure, but it pretty much sums up what I want out of motorcycling..................everything.

My 1.33c (bloody tax)

An adventure ride to me is a ride that I have to stand up on at least once.
Either because it's too bumpy or slippery or just too long to stay sitting.

I totally agree. This is regarded by many people around the world as a top adventure playground. I think we have heaps to offer, and adventure is what you make it !!

Hearing of some place or looking on a map or satellite photo to find some road / track that looks like it goes somewhere,

Riding there,

Finding some other access along the way & having a look at that,

Seeing some country that bugger all other people see,

Wondering "what if..." and feeling isolated at some point,

Coming back in a better frame of mind than when you left,

Looking forward to the next ride at the end of it.
