Motorcyclists may have a million opinions on a variety of things, but the one thing that we all have in common is that we're passionate about what we do and how we ride. Sometimes we're sensible, and sometimes our passion overrides whatever cold, reasonable, logical faculties we might possess. It can happen to any of us, whether you're relatively new to motorcycling or you've been doing it for ages.
Sometimes, all it takes is the right set of circumstances to get you to make a decision that you might later come to regret (or at least question heavily) when things go wronger than you want. From experience, you might expect a certain amount of difficulty, and you might have all kinds of contingencies prepared to deal with the issues that might arise. You probably have a first aid kit packed, and some tools, and maybe all the other spares you think you might need (tire patch kit, spare tubes if your bike uses them, compressor, jerry can, and so on).
If you like watching adventure riding films on YouTube, chances are excellent that you've come across Aussie rider Adam Riemann before. Along with filming all kinds of slick promotional riding videos for the likes of KTM, his personal YouTube channel highlights the motorcycling adventures he gets up to in his own time, with some pretty epic production values. He's a hardcore kind of rider who likes to make all kinds of Australian landscapes his backyard when he's riding.
