The Ramblings of an ADV Rider

Gryphon - Lion's Valor, Eagle's Elegance

11/18/2023

Valor. Great courage in the face of danger. Appropriate riding gear strengthens the mind in regard to danger and protects the body when danger is cashed in for carnage. Quality riding gear enables a person to encounter danger with firmness of mind. ADV and Dual Sport riding are inherently dangerous.

Elegance. Grace, refinement, and beauty in movement and appearance. Armor displays preparation, risk management, and acknowledgment of danger but can and should have a look and feel of beauty. ADV and Dual Sport Riding are inherently beautiful.

A minefield of a rock garden lay in wait just ahead of the idling Yamaha Tenere 700. The rider quickly contemplates his line as the bike creeps along the trail, inching ever closer to the chaos. Time for slow has passed, with a flick of the wrist the T7 begins its bobbing and weaving through the gauntlet. Bangs and bashes sound from below, letting the rider know there is carnage under tire. With confidence, inspired by the Black Dog Cycle Works Ultimate Skid Plate, the rider knows the thick aluminum plate and steel subframes will not only take a licking but will absorb the impacts and protect the precious undercarriage.
