ADV RIding Mistakes and Misunderstandings (Part 3)

I love this video series! Great tidbit on polarized sunglasses. I found that out the expensive way.... 😆😁😂

There are "lots " of misunderstandings that i have seen. The fact is if you like what you are doing, your comfortable with it and it dosen't put you in the "statistics "section of safety and reason of broken bones then ride on

I want to ride in sand and more aggressive makes a difference. But yeah, I've ridden my Victory Cross Country on gravel roads and trails so wear out those factory tires as much as you can.

Excellent topics, guys, thanks for this! Regarding helmets....mine has a great visor and ventilation but it really could use the 'cool' sun peak on it! Regardless, it has taken me over 11,000 miles on my T7 to some pretty awesome destinations and I plan to keep using it until it's truly time for a replacement!🤘

I started at 4 yrs old riding dirt bikes 1974 and transitioning to ADV riding even though I do ride a XR but now with luggage tents etc. Totally a learning curve . And now with 3 blown discs in my back I HAVE to use a softer seat I use seat concepts with seat beads . And the type of peg you use makes a huge difference I use Pivot Pegz.

Great tips especially the tires. I went down at Giant Loop and blamed it on the tires when I really knew it was the rider. I had Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires and thought they were not enough for dirt trails. Come to find out, I adjusted the handlebars and the bike is totally different. Not sure you need aggressive knobby tires for trail riding.
