Narrow, rocky 4WD access roads were no longer a stressful, time-wasting obstacle. They were a thrilling part of the adventure, one I could comfortably tackle on a dual-sport or adventure motorbike. Long commutes to the wilderness were no longer boring drives, either, tackled with windows up, A/C on, coffee in hand, and podcast playing. On a motorcycle, the adventure began as soon as I pulled out of my garage.
