This entry is part 8 of 16 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #26

Andy Strapz – owner of one of Australia’s premier motorcycling retailers and accessory manufacturers – has been around motorcycles for a long time. For a few issues he’ll be pondering the meaning of the adventuring-riding life, maybe sticking his tongue out at some of the established conventions, and, best of all, asking a few questions aimed at having us all think about ourselves and our riding.

Back in early ‘naughties’ dualsport riding came along and I embraced it. I was sick of watching my speedo more than the road. The best bits of blacktop had between five kilometres and 50km of dirt joining them up which needed to be dealt with and were usually deserted. Great campsites were often at the end of a dusty road and on a trip to Tassie in the 1990s I vowed never again to be in a position not to go have a gecko.
