The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/04/17

Andy and Alissa, better known as the couple that helm MadorNomad.com, gave up the sensible life in 2018 and hit the road. So far the UK nationals have trekked just about everywhere a wheel can roll. Of particular interest is their website, which is a treasure trove of useful information for tips and advice that burgeoning travellers can’t live without.

From The Coal Mines To The Dakar Rally

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/04/11

“I hope it can get me out of the coal mine.” Cool words spoken by the ultimate underdog. And “coal mine” isn’t a metaphor. Jordan Strachan works in the coal mines of British Columbia and, after stepping away from riding after breaking his back a few years back, he came back with a bang. Having applied to race Dakar on a whim, the man who rides for the joy of a crisp beer at the end of the day made it to the finish despite issues that would have discouraged many others. But, as he says, when you work

Michnus Olivier had a good life working in the insurance business in Johannesburg. That is until his partner Elsebie goaded him into take a chance on taking a chance. There was no looking back.

The Motorcyclist Who Does Everything

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/03/14

Michael 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. All that and he’s paddled down the Mississippi. Twice. Mark Twain would be proud.

You Don't Have To Be An Expert To Ride The World

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/03/07

With 30 miles of riding experience under his belt, Geoff Hill set out on a Royal Enfield from India to Ireland. And that was just the beginning. Hill then retraced the ‘round-the-world ride of Carl Stearns Clancy, a 22-year-old American who hit the road in 1912. Additionally, Hill is the most capped volleyball player in Ireland’s history, whatever that means.

What It Takes To Run The Daytona 200

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/02/28

On 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.

Building A Better BMW

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/02/21

Hacking 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.

What do you do if you're stuck in a rut—a snowy rut? ADVrider editor Zac Kurylyk left the snowbanks of the Northeast behind for the sunshine of the Southwest, hitting the AIMExpo moto industry show, the record-setting Mecum Las Vegas auction and even The One Moto Show's first road trip appearance in Sin City, meeting a few former Lowdown Show guests along the way. He's back to tell us all about it, and the bikes he rode on the trip.

There are motorcycle industry insiders... and then there are real motorcycle industry insiders. Michael Uhlarik is the latter, with a career that's spanned the western world, for overseas powersports manufacturers like the Piaggio Group and Yamaha Motor Europe, then back in North America with Bombardier as well as other startups.

Forget Your Bike: Improve Yourself Instead!

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/01/31

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.

Why You Should Throw Caution To The Wind

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/01/16

Just Do It. Rosie Gabrielle isn’t you typical globetrotter. She doesn’t over plan. She doesn’t much plan at all. She doesn’t even carry a tool kit. Leaving the details to serendipity isn’t for everyone, but it works for her. Though her father was killed in a motorcycle accident, it didn’t scare her off. Quite the opposite. It gave her the desire to ride. Eschewing the machismo of many travellers, Gabrielle habitually pushes herself to breaking and beyond. Why? Let her tell you in her own words. And

From The Corporate World To Dirt Bike School

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2025/01/10

Funny, perceptive and articulate. B.J. Hessler has, seemingly, done it all. 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. But that’s not all. B.J. credits riding in the dirt as a major factor in helping to pull her out of a lifestyle that teetered toward addiction.

This week, he's here to talk about what it takes to prepare for, and then survive, in the Dakar Rally. He knows what he's talking about—Hacking raced in the very last Dakar Rally that ran the traditional France-to-Senegal route back in 2001.

Moto Guzzi vs. The North

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider ·

2024/12/13

What 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.

Doug Wothke isn’t your typical globetrotter. From his home in LA ("Lower Alabama” he says with a chuckle), Wothke, better known around these parts as rtwdoug, has ridden an oddball assortment of antique motorcycles to the far corners of the earth. Ever wondered what to do if your 1940s Indian shreds a transmission while you’re half-way across Russia? Talk to Wothke, he’s been there.
