​It all started in 2011.  A buddy that I worked with at The Ohio State University Medical Center had a Beemer and loved to share his riding stories with me, the non-rider.  He would share magazine articles from BMW Owners News, BMW MOA Magazine, RoadRUNNER, and the American Motorcyclist Magazine; the writings of Neil Peart (the drummer of Rush fame who was also an avid motorcycle rider and author) and Piet Boonstra (old school enduro rider and author); and any other motorcycle related article or book he could find to throw my way.

You too can crash (I mean, set ‘er down gently) your ADV motorbike on ugly inappropriate terrain with these recommendations!

​A few opening ramblings…
 
First off, as of this writing I ride a well-worn Suzuki V-Strom 650.  The Strom is the first motorbike I ever purchased, and all its scars prove it helped me learn how to ride (at least that’s what I tell myself!).  My V-Strom model is the older generation, not the more off pavement-oriented XT models the OEM started producing in 2015.  I will list some of the things I used to beef up my older Strom model from an excellent street-oriented ride to a true ADV beast.  I’m sorry, I have to say it… The only gripe I have on the new models is why did they change the headlight configuration?!  It was unique!  Everyone could tell a V-Strom by the look in its eyes when it was coming at you, those tall, pointy, side-by-side, angry bug-like eyes.  They changed them to an over-under configuration along with a new extended beak, which both look similar to a few other ADV bikes…but I digress, back to my initial subject.
