If you want to stop relying on theory and start making decisions based on real experience, check my online course: rtw-adventures.com/new-online-course-1.html
Everything you read about motorcycle travel is not wrong by accident. It is wrong because most of it comes from people who have never tested it on the road.
In this video, I go through the most common mistakes that the motorcycle industry and online communities constantly repeat, and explain why real experience tells a completely different story.
What I cover in this video:
Why bigger adventure motorcycles make your trip harder, not easier
The never-ending features your dealer says you cannot live without
Hard panniers vs soft luggage and what nobody tells you about the weight
Tubes vs tubeless and why neither is the universal solution
Adventure modifications that solve problems you will probably never have
Big fuel tanks and the false sense of security they create
High fenders and why they cause more problems than they fix.
