7 Reasons Adventure Riding Is Better Than Just Touring
Lifestyle
By Lawton Outlaw
Few other images of motorcycling have captured the psyche of riders and non-riders alike as much as that of a resolute motorcyclist hitting the open road for parts unknown.
For Americans, it appeals to the lore of the rugged individuals that conquered the American West. Touring on a motorcycle is about as good as it gets – no matter what type of machinery you ride. Spending days out of the cities on remote rural highways is something every motorcyclist has dreamed about.
While any motorcycle can be used for touring, adventure touring aficionados will tell you that their bikes offer the most versatile touring opportunities.
So, here’s a completely biased list of reasons why adventure touring is better than just plain old touring.
7. Cool gear and bike accessories
Looks and quality – Alpinestars’ adventure gear is simply the best.
You know the appearance of invincibility that adventure bikes convey is a huge selling point for the machines, but have you looked at the accessories?
6. Scenery without clutter
One of our favorite ADV bikes of all-time – the
Honda Africa Twin.
5. Solitude
No matter how much solitude you want, the
Ducati Multistrada will get you there and back.
4. Camping without campgrounds
One of the best parts of an adventure – a campfire with your homie.
3. Silence
Instead of squabbles between siblings or music that you would never choose to listen to wafting from the adjacent campsites, you can sit and listen to the bug-song, the breeze through the trees, or just the crackle of your fire.
2. Self-sufficiency
When you have a mishap on a rural highway, if you wait long enough, someone will likely come along and be able to help you.
1. Camaraderie
You and your good buddy can share stories about that one time, for the rest of your lives.
