Efficiency in motorcycle travel is not about riding fast or covering maximum kilometers every day.
It is about knowing when to push and when to slow down.
In this video I share what 400,000 km on the road taught me about making the right call. Sometimes the smart move is 12 hours in the saddle. When there is a specific place waiting and rain is coming.
Other times, pushing harder is the worst thing you can do.
Most riders never figure out the difference. They either grind every day until they burn out, or they lose days waiting for perfect conditions that never come.
Knowing which mode to choose, and when, is what separates a good trip from a miserable one.
