What people are saying about Appalachian ADV...
Rallies, Tours, & Group Ride Comments:
"Great trip! I would do it again tomorrow if I could. Good homemade food, the campground was perfect, the gang was great, and the rides were next level. Thanks for an amazing trip!" - Scott from Littleton, New Hampshire
"I wanted to thank you for your leadership on the ADV ride. I’m new to the adventure world and you made my experience one that makes me want to do more riding like that." - Murray from Columbus, Ohio
"Let me say, your ride was fast paced but safe. The challenges were a fun little break. Everything from pavement, clay, rock to black mud single track on this ride. I'll be back every year for this one. The family dinner Sat night was great!" - Joel from Grand Rapids, Michigan
"Howdy to all the Fools that showed up to ride April Fools ride! My group and I had a great comfortable ride through the Farmland Loop on Sunday. Man I thought I knew those roads!" -Dave from Canfield, Ohio
"[Appalachian ADV's] depth of knowledge and experience in ANF (Allegheny National Forest) and beyond is exceptional!" -Purple Lizard Maps
"Thank you Kane! You put on a great event and have brought lots of people together. A true community builder. I feel very lucky to be apart of the Appalachian ADV Community." -Tom from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania
"Love what you're doing! You make it very welcoming for a newbie to the dirt. The Allegheny Jamboree was fun and challenging. I can't wait for the next event." -Kevin from Louisville, Kentucky
"Kane is a talented off-road rider that cares deeply about the expansion of the sport of Adventure Motorcycling. His tours are well planned, supported and have varying levels of challenge with enough time to smell the roses and experience the views. The meals were fantastic, prepared by his wife and his mom excellent home cooking. Highly recommend." Vittorio from Bath, New Hampshire
ADV & Dual Sport Riding Clinic Comments:
"You're doing a really good thing for the beginners of, not just Adventure, but riding as a whole. You were very organized and covered everything you need to know." - Cody from Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania
"What a great time. Being new to the ADV world and having a Harley-Davidson Pan America, Kane showed me what this bike is capable of. I learned tons of techniques and gained confidence in handling off road obstacles." -Matt from Cleveland, Ohio
"Kane Wagner is a wonderful ADV riding instructor. His clinics are so helpful to learn and apply the basic skills needed to take your riding adventures to the next level." -Tambra from Titusville, Pennsylvania
"Very good course! I got into ADV riding 3 years ago but haven’t tested my skills like I did this weekend. Highly recommended if you want to learn some new practice drills to sharpen your off-road riding ability and improve confidence. No classroom, you’re learning while on your bike all day, which was perfect for me." -Dan from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania
"Would definitely recommend the clinic I have been off-road on dirt bikes all my life and Kane taught me some things... on my Honda CB500X Rally Raid." -Steven from Boardman, Ohio
"Out of all of the trainers I've worked with, Kane Wagner is the absolute best coach! His feedback and classes are so personalized and wonderful! He's a treasure to the ADV community!" -Scott from Akron, Ohio
"I really enjoyed Saturday's clinic and got a lot out of it. I appreciate your expertise, your patient teaching style, and your attention to detail in helping me and the others. It was just the right degree of difficulty for me, everything I did was a challenge but nothing was so overwhelming that it felt way over my head. It was good to get out of my comfort zone and I feel a lot more confident now, especially after the group ride at the end. Really a good group of guys too. I will definitely recommend your clinics to others." Jim from Brunswick, Ohio
"[The] Clinic was absolutely superb. Kane is an amazing teacher. (I still have a lot to learn and a long way to go.) But the group was also so helpful. Everytime I fell/got stuck, all of [them] came rushing in to help." -Sony from Suwanee, Georgia
"I appreciate the classes you teach. You cater to who you have, encourage taking risks but never push, and let people grow." -Josh from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania
