Essential Tips for Adventure Bike Riders

Welcome to Edition 59 and
one that offers an excellent
exchange of views on
adventure riding tips and
adventure riding essentials between
our Facebook subscribers/members
and adventure motorcyclist and author
Stephen Lambert.
Boris Mihailovic follows with an
excellent coverage of 2023 adventure
motorcycles. In the mix you will see two
members of our community and their
recent purchases.
The Our Community pages are
sponsored by Cape York Motorcycle
Tours and we are thrilled that they have
won TripAdvisor’s People’s Choice Award
for 2023. So well deserved. Adventure
Magazine Subscriber Anita Eley will be
joining Cape York in August 2024 along
with author and adventurer Heather Ellis
for a 7-day tour that we will feature.
As an industry partner, you will meet
Sean Goldhawk – Marketing Manager of
Yamaha Australia – and see his props out there adventuring.
Along with the excellent advice offered
in his edition, comes a ‘Street Smarts’
guide from Heather Ellis. A must read
for those embarking on adventure
motorcycling overseas.
Read on to find out why Graeme
Sedgewick thanks Africa, how the Dakar
Rally could become ‘green’, and how
Boris responds to the rain and the
concept of wet-weather gear.
Part 2 of Ready Jimbob answers if that
whack of the tree branch ended the ride
and we welcome a new writer Holly Fields
with her take on Becoming Adventurous.
Also, welcome Aron Berkery and his
soujourn into the depths of Yengo and
beyond. This story is also a commentary
on a rider training experience; a topic that
will be covered further in Edition 60.
Andy Strapz waxes lyrical on gear
selection, and Sunny Motographer
delights the senses with glorious photos
of Morocco.
Might I recommend the 2023 Congregation Ride to Grey Gum Café.
Everyone is welcome no matter what
motorcycle you ride and even if, this
year, you’re in an old ute. You can be as
social as you like or just enjoy the
atmosphere and band Saturday night
and enjoy the warmth of the braziers.
The food is great; the venue is licenced
and there is no cost. This said, tips for the band are more than welcome so think
about this on Saturday evening.
If you’d like to attend but would prefer
not to ride alone, please come to our
Facebook page and ask for rider support.
