ADV NEWS JULY 2023 | 2024 AFRICA TWIN | ROYAL ENFIELD 650 SCRAMBLER | V STROM 800 | TRIUMPH 400
#chroniclesofsolid #advnews
Welcome back to another episode of ADV NEWS for July 2023. As usual lots of great adventure and dual sport motorcycle news to talk about. Including the 2024 Africa Twin, a new varient of the Suzuki Vstrom 800, Royal enfield scrambler 650 and finally the Triumph 400 Scrambler.
This is my first proper venture into deep sand. I have done sand before but only short sections. This time out was all sand. I ride with a bunch of guys preparing to do the Simpson desert, needless to say I was in way over my head :P
Took me quite a few falls to get the hang of the ride. My biggest problem was worrying about what was right in front of me on the tight trails, forgetting to look way ahead which caused me to crash a lot. Once one of the other riders pointed that out it was much smoother sailing.
Bikes in this video:
- Yamaha WR250R
- Suzuki DR650
- BMW R1100GS

In this video I go through in detail the motorcycle crashes I have had and the lessons I have learned to hopefully make me a better dual sport and adventure rider. I also try and share the hard earned wisdom for the newer or returning rider. These lessons are not just for off road motorbikes but for riding in general. Hope it helps some of those starting out.

I originally ordered the Big Agnes Q-Core Long -https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Pad/qcore but it was not wide enough for my needs.
This led me to the Klymit Static V luxe Insulated -http://www.klymit.com/insulated-static-v-luxe.html
I am always looking to reduce my pack size and weight. Whether it be dual sport riding off road, camping or hiking. I started out with a self inflating mattress but it was too bulky and not warm enough.
This brought me to the inflatable mattresses. They are comfortable, compact and lightweight and the Klymit and Big Agnes are great examples whatever the adventure.
Enjoy the vid,

Time to dive into the comments section once again. Plenty of great questions. Why is the PR7 have a 650 badge but a 600cc engine? When does and adventure bike become a dual sport? Is there a scrambler that is a good tourer? And how is the shed project going?

This video/channel is aimed at showing what it is like to learn riding in the dirt. I could never find enough videos on what it was like to start from scratch off road.
Baring 1 person, all the guys in this video I am riding with for the first time. Riding for some years, meeting up with new riders can always be a role of the dice. This time I lucked out with a great bunch of guys!
It is always good to get out there and soak up the invaluable knowledge more experienced riders have. I learnt a great deal on this ride. So thanks guys!
The bikes in this video are as follows:
Yamaha WR250R x2
Suzuki DR650
BMW R1100GS
Yamaha XT660Z
