If you are planning long-distance motorcycle travel and want a clear, structured understanding of what it really requires, I organized everything into my course “Adventure Riding WITHOUT Illusions.”
It brings together the physical cost, mental pressure, money decisions, planning traps and long-term sustainability behind serious motorcycle travel, based on more than 400,000 km across multiple continents.

We all know how important motorcycle adventure modifications are, especially when we talk about adventure riding, but how many of them really work? In this video, I will give you the answer.
Before you get mad, let me tell you that I don't have any plans to change the way you modified your motorcycle. The idea of this video is to tell you what modifications, will be the most noticeable on your trips. In the end, it is your bike, and your trips, so feel free to do whatever you like.
Crash guards, bash plates, aux lights, side stand extensions, or some stylish changes are fine, and might be important to you, but as I said they are not going to change the way you ride and they won't help you much on the road.
Here, I expect many to comment that without the bash plate, you will destroy the engine, or without the aux lights will be very difficult to ride in the dark. This is true, but I almost never ride in the dark, and if I have to just do it slowly. Some people never go off-road and don't need bash plates.
So each and every one of the modifications has its purpose, that's why people do it, but I am talking about the mods that are game changers. Mods that you will feel almost every single moment of your rides. And what is interesting is that they cost almost nothing compared to the rest so-called necessary items.
