The Lowdown Show - By ADVRiderThe Motorcyclist Who Does EverythingMichael Waterford is the kind of super-enthusiast you can’t help but love. The Hoosier seemingly has a hand in just about everything going on in Indiana. He’s a keen ADV-er on his Yamaha T7 and is part of mostly-moped club that has saving turtles as one of its mandates.

The Lowdown Show - By ADVRiderWhat It Takes To Run The Daytona 200On the eve of the Daytona 200 we speak to hard-ass road racer Trevor Daley. Most of you won’t know Trevor, but he’s the epitome of what a racer should be. Think of him as a modern-day Gary Nixon. He’s as tough as they come: he’s raced with broken everything—hands, hips, feet. And he builds his own bikes, and finds the money, all while running a one-man fabrication shop that supplies many of the top teams in the MotoAmerica series with specialized pit equipment.2025-02-2844 min
The Lowdown Show - By ADVRiderBuilding A Better BMWHacking up old BMW airheads is a common pastime for anyone with an angle grinder. But Robert Sabel, who operates out of Los Angeles as Roughchild, is different. His BMW restomods are tasteful, useful, balanced and purposeful. It’s the closest the motorcycling world has to the manic-obsessiveness of Singer’s Porsche 911s. 2025-02-2141 min

The Lowdown Show - By ADVRiderForget Your Bike: Improve Yourself Instead!Farkles won't make you a better rider; you need to frankly assess your riding skills, and work on developing them. That's the message Dallas Shannon preaches at Traction eRag's XTADV riding school, based on a decade and a half of leading dirt bike tours and teaching people how to ride enduros, dual sports and ADV machines. Along the way, he's learned a few other things as well: The ins and outs of electric dirt bikes, and just how good we have it as motorcyclists in North America.2025-01-3148 min

From a degree in Latin American studies at Boston University to a career in public health to chucking it all away to run DC Dirt Camp, an east-coast school for off-road riders of all skill levels.

The Lowdown Show - By ADVRiderMoto Guzzi vs. The NorthWhat is adventure? How do you find it? Most of us will answer that question in different ways. In the case of Nick Adams, he doesn't attack near-impossible terrain, ripping up the mud with full-on knobbies and a hundred-horsepower-plus engine. Instead, Nick takes regular street bikes—particularly his old 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado—much farther into the wilderness than most adrenaline bros would ever dare.2024-12-1348 min

The Lowdown Show - By ADVRiderThe Rise And Fall Of Flat TrackA half-dozen years ago flat track racing was having the most unusual resurgence. The most American—and the most cultish—of all motorcycle sport had superstars like Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi under its spell. But then something happened. The grids shrunk, the riders began to feud with management, and the spectators stayed away. This week Cory Texter, a former champion in the sport and a long-time critic, is our guest as we try to unpack how something with so much momentum hit the skids with such ferocity.2024-10-1840 min

For his latest expedition, he pottered across America on a Honda 125 retracing the steps of a man who, 120 years ago, headed into the wilds on a bicycle with a clip-on motor as the very first ADV rider.

How did they make this all happen? Mark Wells, the company's UK-based head of design, is here to tell us how Royal Enfield transformed themselves into the mid-sized motorcycle market leader.2024-09-0659 min

Moto Adventurer UnscriptedEpisode 33: Rick SowryRick is a long-time friend of mine that is responsible for getting me into riding off-road and also introducing me to long-distance riding. Rick and his wife tour two-up for their annual vacation each year which usually means a 5,000 mile plus trip out to the western U.S. His wife does the navigating and Rick does the "driving". Rick and I discuss the details of that relationship, along with how he kept his Triumph Tiger 800 running for over 100,000 miles. We talk about selecting his next 1200cc touring motorcycle of choice, what goes into certifying a "Bun Burner Gold" with...2022-03-142h 21
Moto Adventurer UnscriptedEpisode 29: Mark ScherrensMark Sherrens is an ADV nut in northern Georgia. Mark and I discuss his lengthy experience with various KTM adventure bikes, his Tiger 800, and ultimately his return to KTM with his new 1090. We talk a lot about "big bike" life, riding in Georgia, Tennesse, and I think he's convinced me to ADV camp in Michigan. We discuss in jest and in seriousness about the different motorcycle archetypes you'll meet. Brace yourself for an overload of sarcasm and enjoy the show.
