1,200 Miles of Nevada Dirt
Johnny Campbell’s “thing for Honda” started at age nine when his dad brought home an XR75. For me, it was riding my neighbor’s XR100 at age 11 that triggered my obsession. Now that we have a legitimate ADV option from Honda, it’s making some of us grown-ups feel like kids again.

Capturing The Aurora Borealis
I was only seven when I saw it for the first time. Sitting on a couch, wedged between my parents, I was bored out of my skull watching some "stupid old person's" documentary about somewhere called Alaska. That is, I was bored until the point in the program where the night sky lit up in a brilliant green with waves of light dancing across the heavens! That's when I realized that magic was real.Since then, I've been in awe of the Aurora Borealis. . . fantasizing about what it would be like to look up and experience the magic happening live.

Black Dog Cycle Works KTM 690/Husqvarna 701 Enduro Skid Plate
Asked to evaluate the Black Dog Cycle Works ULTIMATE Skid Plate, I wondered, “What’s to review?” A skid plate has no moving parts and should perform an apparently simple function. But, as it turns out, not all skid plates are created equal.

Riding Ruta 40
Trying to cross an international border on a motorbike can be stressful. There’s voluminous paperwork one must have in order and zero tolerance for errors; one misplaced, incorrectly stamped or misdated document is all it takes to get rejected. But in South America where corruption is rife, all the paperwork in the world may not give you a green light unless palms are greased first.
