I have to admit something that I really don't want to. Even though I'm the boss at RideApart, I currently don't own a motorcycle. I know, I know, sacrilege. Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor were giving me shit for it just the other week, though I sort of relished that razzing.
But I'm currently in between motorcycles, with the top contenders for whatever I pick up next being Royal Enfield's new Himalayan 450, some sort of electric dirt bike, or a Ducati Hypermotard. That's a wide swatch of genres, but even if I had one in my garage, none of them would've worked for a trip I'd been planning for the better part of six months.
I speak of course about my all American trek to build my Christensen Arms rifle.
