The bikes I miss the most definitely revolve around racing. I would love to have a couple race bikes from the past. I love my past ISDE race bikes. My 2003 WR250f from Brazil, My GasGas 250 from Poland in 2004, and my 2005 KTM 525 I got my ISDE gold medal with from New Zealand.

I grew up in an off-road riding family, camping and riding in the mountains. I started riding my own bike at 4 years old on a Yamaha PW 50.

I live in Eatonville Washington.

My dream ride is coming up January 2023. Im currently training and prepping for the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia. Its been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember and being one of the first Americans to finish Dakar in the malle moto class will be amazing.

When Im not digging holes working for the local water company You can find me in the trails and dirt roads of the Pacific Northwest mountains. I dabbled racing a bit of everything off-road when I was younger but found myself traveling the world chasing International six days enduro medals. After earning silver medals in Brazil and Poland my hard work paid off and I took home a Gold medal in New Zealand as a World Trophy Team competitor for team USA. I raced every sort of off-road event in the United States after New Zealand bringing home respectable finishes in select GNCCs, National Enduros, National Hare Scrambles, and EnduroCross Championship rounds. I struggled with a string of injuries and needed a change. That change came to me in the form of a trials motorcycle. I didn’t touch an enduro bike for years and focused only on trials. This lead me to fort William Scotland where I finished with a second class award in the Scottish Six Days Trials in 2014. Riding the Scottish was very motivating for me and I began riding enduro bikes again. This time rally events came calling and I learned to navigate and won the Enduro class at the Sonora Rally in Mexico. Rally has been an amazing format for me and Im currently training for the Dakar Rally which Ill be attempting to be one of the first Americans to ever finish in the Malle Moto Class.

If I had to describe my riding style in one word it would be diverse. I pride myself in being able to ride any type of bike on any type of terrain with all levels of riders. I truly just love riding motorcycles in general. From my old vintage bikes to my modern ktm rally bikes and everything in between being on 2 wheels feels like home to me.

2018 KTM 1090 Adventure

My favourite bike from the past was probably my 2007 Kawasaki Versys 650. It was simple, tough, comfortable and reliable and allowed me to worry less about the bike and more about the adventure!

A late-ish starter, I got into 2 wheels with a Gilera Runner during my university time at the ripe old age of 21!

I currently live in Hamburg, Germany.

If you mean the bike, then probably what I have now! The 1090 adventure promises all that the Versys gave me, but with more space, more power, more comfort and therefore more miles!

I have the ATLAS Throttle Lock bottom kit.

I like to push on in the twisties and tend to enjoy the road first and scenery second. Although with advancing years I notice that this balance is slowly shifting in the other direction! I like to rely on reading the road and planning the corners rather than coming in hot and hammering the brakes and I enjoy nothing more than a perfectly executed string of rev-matched downshifts before a nice late apexed S-bend!

A 2014 Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883
(With a 1200 engine upgrade / S&S Hooligan Kit)
A 2017 Honda Rebel 300
(It's my adopted bike, it belongs to my sister, but I ride it)

I recently test-rode a custom Royal Enfield GT650 build from BAAK and I fell in love with the cafe racer and sport look of it. I also got to play with a Scrambler Ducati; that machine was FAST! I have to say… no matter how many motorcycles I get to ride, I will always be a proud Harley girl.

I started riding 3 years ago. I got my first and only motorcycle when I was 28. I was the first in my family to ride, so you can imagine my parent’s reaction when I told them I was buying a motorcycle, let alone a Harley Davidson.

Los Angeles, California has been my home for over 15 years.

I don’t have a specific bike I would like to own, BUT if anything my dream ride would probably be one that I put together. Hopefully one day I’ll have my own garage and be able to build one from scratch. A Panhead would be nice :)

I’m just a gal who loves motorcycles and won’t shut up about it. I know I have a lot to learn still, but I’m ready! One of my goals as a motorcycle rider is to inspire others (especially women) to start their motorcycle journey. I get overwhelmed with joy when people tell me I inspired them to start riding motorcycles. I want to celebrate people who ride and share with them genuine experiences. So… see you on the road.

Currently a 2021 Tenere 700 with a number of mods from a Dyno tune, Crash bars, bark busters, Acerbis skid plate, Denali auxiliary lighting, Mosko Reckless 40 bags, Camel anti-bobble and 1 finger clutch, Pro-taper Adventure handlebars and more I'm probably forgetting. 47,000kms and counting!

I adored my 1995 KLR 650. I picked it up for a whopping $2200 CAD with 25k on the clock. This was my shift from street riding into ADV style adventures. It kicked open the doors to dirt roads and campsites. I remember my first night ride to a mountain lookout above the town of grand forks with a highschool friend on his XR650. Other notable rides would be visiting Glacier park in Montana and having just enough horsepower to avoid a Bear that charged out from the ditch looking for a thumpy lunch!

I was 18 when I got my first bike. It was a miled-out Suzuki Katana 750. I spent the winter prepping the body work for paint. It was sprayed black with red pearl. Riding over 20k kms my first summer the engine finally called it quits with 88,000kms and 60Psi engine compression. It's still in the shed at my Dad's awaiting its resurrection.

That's a tough one right now. Currently my work project brings me to Calgary, Alberta. When I'm away from work I gravitate to the lower mainland of BC, Chilliwack specifically.

I'll have to pick more than one here! I've had recent infatuations with the current BMW S1000RR. The thought of 200hp+ in German trim is unparalleled. Though I feel without access to the Autobahn the true nature of this bike would never be known. On the other end of the spectrum I've joked that if Indian Motorcycles made a 400lb Adv bike in the 100-120hp range with a 21"/18", 8'+ of travel and 10" of ground clearance I'd have to buy it. My riding partner will never let me hear the end of it if that day comes. (Are you listening, Indian?)

I'll be using a bottom kit. There's lots of tank clearance to my tank with the taller bars and actuation will be easier with thick gloves.

I try to do a bit of everything. The Tenere 700 is an awesome all rounder. This past summer we rode 27,000kms total. All of this included days of Single track offroad riding, logging roads of Vancouver island and BC, Red dirt roads in Moab Utah, Interstate highways to tiny two laners and mountain passes such as Beartooth Pass and even higher altitude passes like Mount Evans, Colorado. That's all travel riding I could say. Healthy mix of on and off road. At home a majority of my time is spent practicing individual skills, drag racing, group rides and goofing off with my core group of riding buddies.

Triumph Bonneville T100 Black.

I loved my Kawasaki Ninja 300. The Ninja 300 was perfect for learning to ride a motorcycle, It was lightweight, nimble and held a good enough power for a 300cc engine. In terms of comfort, the Royal Enfield Classic was amazing, the seat had coils for comfort and the riding position was amazing. However it lacked power and there was significant vibration in the handlebars on some gears.

I was always into motorcycles since I was a kid, I started riding mopeds when I was a teenager, then scooters and finally motorcycles at 24.

Land down under, Melbourne.

My dream ride would be Kashmir and the Himalayas. The views and the untouched nature of civilization motivates me to travel to these places to explore, get lost and find my way.

The Top Kit in Black.

In a day and age where everything and anything is good by influencers, my goal is to try out products and accessories and share my likes and dislikes. I aim to promote products that I like and are practical for riders. I've been on the hunt for an affordable cruise control solution for some time now and I've tried other types of throttle locks; But the ATLAS throttle lock has a unique design that I believe, makes it reliable. The beauty of motorcycling is you can change your riding style whenever you please. My riding style is mostly pretty chilled, I love to enjoy the nature views by riding off-road and also turn heads in the city streets.

Currently in my garage there is a Triumph Bonneville Street Twin, a recently acquired BMW F700GS, a Honda Super Cub and a Suzuki Tu250x.

My favourite bike from the past has to be the Kawasaki ZZR400, this was my first motorcycle, it was a magnificent ride and allowed me to explore and broaden my horizons! A great nod to my choice may be that I later realised that is the same model bike Uma Thurman rides in Kill Bill, mine was blue and hers yellow. The other favourite is the Suzuki Van Van (RV125 from 1970s) , it is such an iconic bike and I grew up seeing my grandad and uncles riding these in my childhood so I have great memories and these still exist in the family.

I passed my licence when I was 18 but I had to wait until I was 22 to get my first bike. The funny side of this was that although legally I was allowed to ride, I had forgotten it all and so I had to practise in empty car parks before getting on the busy roads.

Home is where I live and ride, currently I live in the UK in Bristol but I grew up in Lisbon, Portugal. I still consider Portugal one of my homes as I go there often and it is where my family lives; I also have my Suzuki there to ride when I am visiting.

Well there are plenty of dream rides I have on my bucket list but for sure one would be from Cape Town, along the Garden Route, then up to Kruger National Park. Africa has so much to offer in terms of riding challenges and amazing vistas with wonderful wildlife.Especially, I would enjoy the route along the coast with the rugged sea views.

I currently have the bottom kit on my BMW F700GS, I also have used it extensively on the Bonneville, specially on a 99 day trip in Europe. It was essential to take the strain off my wrist and give it a rest over the duration of the tour.

My name is Marta and I am an IT project manager. My background is in Forensic Science and I guess motorcycles were present but not dominant in my younger years. In my family they were just seen as toys and also perceived as predominantly for males. Motorcycling came more into my life in my university years, I had a tight budget but wanted to explore more of the UK and motorcycling seemed to tick the boxes. It allowed me to expand my horizons and learn a bit about mechanics. I had such a tight budget I had to resort to doing the maintenance at home. In terms of riding style, I think it definitely evolved with my skills. I tried different types of bikes from sports bikes to quite aggressive naked bikes to modern classics for more softer paced rides. I enjoy a lot of touring and exploring on motorcycles so I guess I became more focused on that . By my quite eclectic garage you can see I have a soft spot for classic looking bikes but also can appreciate the advantages of a bigger modern well engineered adventure motorcycle. I have an interest in the history of motorcycling and why some models became iconic, that is why I have a cute Honda SuperCub as my commuter to work rather than just an uncharacteristic scooter.

I currently have a KTM 1090 Adventure R and a Suzuki DRZ 400 Rally.

I haven't had many bikes, but the Kawasaki Z750 has remained in my heart. I wanted it from when I was 15 until I bought it at 23. I didn't keep it because it went against my desire to travel and explore!

I can't call it a motorcycle, but at 5 I was riding my father's 50cc scooter. At 14 I became independent with my first scooter and at 16 I got my first real bike: the KTM 125 EXC of the year 2004. I remember it with great affection, in fact I returned years later always in KTM.

I call home that place where I feel good and where I have been well. At the moment I live near Milan but my heart is and will remain in Padua. I always feel at home in those areas!

My dream trip is, at the moment, the Balkans on the TET with my DRZ 400. But I think the best trip is always the next! I like to think step by step, although I wish I could go to the North Cape or to America.

The Top Kit.

I'm a weirdo. I love speed as much as I love asphalt and off-road. The bikes I feel most comfortable with are adventure bikes. I like to travel as a couple but also alone, I go fast for the adrenaline but also slowly to savor the landscapes. Sometimes I like to be in silence looking at the horizon, dreaming of new adventures and fully enjoying what I am in front of!

There is my Benelli TRK502X.

It's the one I own right now because it's my first one.

I was interested in bikes since I was a kid but life has a strange path and now, here I am, stepping into this interesting adventure in my 30's.

Despite the fact that I live in Zagreb, Croatia's capital, my home is on island Krk where I grew up.

Since I really like my Benelli it would be a TRK800.

I'm using a Top Kit.

My obsession is motorcycle adventure and photography so I combined those two passions together. When I travel around I prefer unpaved roads, thats how you always get surprised by stunning locations and thats why I always have my essential photo gear with me.

In my garage there is actually a Yamaha T7.
