My husband’s birthday is coming up and I am looking for gift ideas.

Specifically a trail jack (I think sorry I don’t ride so excuse my ignorance) he was just down at the Red River Scramble in Kentucky and they were raffling off something like that. He obviously didn’t win and I know he would love it. This item attaches to your bike and then can be used to jack up your bike to change a tire on the trail.

Any additional recommendations would be greatly appreciated. He’s not on Reddit so I will post a photo of his bike for reference.

Pretty much the whole point of ADV is to go far from the comfort and security of home. And once you're out there, your mind will be a little more at ease if your gear is in good condition.

Not just your bike needs maintaining. If you've got a camp set, be it your favorite refrigerator box, or your Barbie Dream Glamping Playset (batteries not included), is it still weather proof? Does your air mattress have a hole that you've been putting off patching? Here's your monthly reminder to get around to it sooner rather than later.

Also, feel free to ask any maintenance related questions, drop any tips you've figured out, or make vaguely related commentary.

Going on a group ride, and want extras? Going to a rally, and looking for someone "you know" to come along? This is the thread.

Please keep your location vague, and your first meets public.

This is another video in the “Just a Saturday” series. We travel from Superior AZ to Tucson for an overnight with a KLR650 DR650 and MT-07. Check it out! Just A Saturday

Hey adv peeps, I am looking at finally upgrading from my trusty gen1 KLR650 that I've had for the past 3 years. I am about to put a deposit down on an IBEX 450 MT but all in all it comes out to like 8.5k-9K USD (shipping, dealer fees). I have narrowed my search down to the Tenere 700 & IBEX 450MT but haven't seen prices for the Tenere drop yet (used models 9k-10k in my area). I am slightly hesitant about putting my deposit down for the IBEX since I haven't ridden one and since I will be paying pretty much the same price as a used Tenere. I ride majority street (live in Denver, CO) but I do like to rip on some forest roads and over mountain passes. I would say 60/40 street to dirt. I am also gearing up for an Alaska trip next year so this would be the bike I use. Any Ibex owners in here?

Given my situation which decision would you make?

1. Send it, buy the Ibex at the 9K price point
2. Buy a used Tenere
3. Wait for the Ibex to come stateside, test ride it if I can find one then choose. Thanks in advance for any replies!

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to motorcycle riding and have been riding for abt 1,5 years now, on my suzuki gsx 750 f. So a quite heavy, road use focused tourer. I'm looking to buy a new bike for the next season and was almost locked in on buying a tenere 700. But recently a friend of mine bought a new honda nx 500. The price difference for a new t7 where I live is almost 3k€. So further looking into other bikes in the adv, enduro area I saw that for example a bmw f 800 gs with much more options (cruise control, ride modes etc.) was the same price as a new t7 with nothing of those features. What makes the t7 worth the ~12k price mark compared to other bikes like the bmw, honda, or suzuki v strom? Since I'm inexperienced and don't really know what to look for the price difference baffled me a bit, like I said ~2-3k€. When the t7 seemingly has much less features, whilst being more pricey. Can someone explain to me, or point out the differences in motorcycles like these? I would be really grateful Thx in advance

Does anyone know what model bikes Ewan and Charlie are restoring and riding for the new Long Way Home? It just mentions a Motto Guzzi and a BMW.
