The Touratech Rally begins in four days – going from Thursday through Sunday in the thriving metropolis of Plain, WA. For those unaware, it’s a gathering of Adventure Motorcyclists (ADV Riders) who come together to learn how to ride off-pavement and on trails, and the tricks involved in traveling long distances on motorcycles with little gear on such roads (watch Ewan McGregor and Charley Borman’s Long Way Round or Long Way Down movies/documentaries to gain a better understanding of what this is like.
As most of you know, I rode my ADV Bike, a 2022 Royal Enfield Himalayan cross country last summer, spending about three weeks on the Trans-America Trail. Quite the ride (with many spills). So this week, I’ll be talking about that at the Rally, giving my Tips for the TAT to those interested in doing the same thing.
If you’re in/near Plain or Leavenworth, WA, let me know. Always glad to hook up with readers/fans for coffee or something similar (sorry – no adult beverages while I’m riding).
