The BMW 1300 GS is a ground-up redesign of one of the most iconic motorcycles of all time. Has BMW jumped the shark with the new GS, or is a lighter, more powerful boxer what we needed all along?

Nothing beats short motorcycle boots when it comes to comfort, convenience, or cost. Here are our favorite boots for riders of every ilk.  

Here at RIDE Adventures, we dedicate lots of time and energy to advocating the largest, most protective boots money can buy.

There are multiple great ADV training programs here in the US, but the skills, terrain, and methods can vary greatly from school to school. 

We're big evangelists of rider training programs, and we're not just saying that because we happen to offer one. Truth be told, professional training is probably the most effective investment any rider can make, whether they're new to the sport or not.
