Kawasaki KLR 650 Gen 2 – My weapon of choice

ARR Staff

The big thumper brings me a lot of joy and hate. The bike is slow, but pulls like a tractor. It’s heavy, but light when riding swiftly. I’ve gone a many adventures on this bike and it continues to keep thumping. I don’t treat it like it’s precious, I feel that it likes to be treated rough. It’s cheap, so why be scared to drop it, oh but yes, it’s heavy! I’ve had to pick up this bike many times that it feels like a gym workout. There’s so much…

Moab’s Fins & Things – Exhilarating and exciting rocky adventure

ARR Staff

Australian YouTuber, Curtis, found on OnTheBackWheel, is one of those no bullshit riders. He tackles hard routes and pushes bikes to his limits. In this video he takes us viewers on a ride through Fins and Things in Moab, Utah. The ride looks quite challenging and would want to be taken on a lightweight bike. Heavy bikes are bound to get dropped onto the hard rocky surfaces. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Bike – Kawasaki KLX250S The bike used in this video is a Kawasaki KLX250S. It’s a…

Whilst the ride is roughly less than 90km, the…

Adventure bike crossing creek

JoshJB posted this amazing ride north of Brisbane, Queensland. It highlights Louisavale road, a farming trail that connects Monsildale to Linville. It seems to contains a number of creek crossing that may gains some depth upon large amounts of rain, and some overgrown grassy roads. He tackles this route with a Yamaha Ténéré 700. The beast of a bike weighs 205kg and puts out 72 horsepower. If you’re a rider that’s traveling around on a mid-sized adventure bike, this trail is for you. Whilst bigger bikes (BMW 1200GS) can take…

Fun quick & dirty adventure ride in Elimbah

ARR Staff
Elimbah state forest

This is one of my favourite places to ride. Less than an hour north of Brisbane, Australia is a playground for the adventurer. Weekend traffic gets busy at 10am. So plan to go early! Conditions Elimbah state forest is generally flat. There’s no hill climbs or decent to be concerned about. The grounds vary between sandy terrain, clay and compact soil. To have the most fun I would use more off-road oriented tires. Difficulty: Easy to Moderate Whilst I mark this as easy – don’t feel that experienced riders won’t…
