Just an ordinary guy chasing extraordinary adventures.
I rediscovered motorcycling after 25 years away — and found a whole new world in adventure riding, overlanding, and exploring the outdoors.
Now I’m training for one of my biggest goals yet: Red Bull Romaniacs 2026, competing in the Adventure class on my CFMOTO 450MT.

Join me on the journey from first ADV miles to Romaniacs finisher — through trails, crashes, and everything in between.

New video drops tomorrow.

I’m breaking down the next off-road upgrades for the CFMOTO 450MT —
what’s changing, and more importantly why.

No installs yet.
Just real riding experience, real problems, and a clear plan.

Video goes live tomorrow evening. 👊

CFMOTO 450MT vs Tenere 700 – the argument everyone keeps bringing up.

“Why don’t you just buy a Tenere instead of upgrading a CFMOTO?”

I hear that comment all the time.
So I finally broke it down properly.

Not a ride comparison.
Not brand loyalty.
No spec-sheet wars.

In the video I look at:
- real-world mods (what people actually change)
- total cost of ownership
- OEM repair parts (this one surprised me)
- resale value — what we know, and what we don’t

The 450MT is often called a “mini Tenere” — usually as a compliment (I assume)

📺 Video drops tomorrow.

If you’ve ridden both bikes, I’d genuinely like to hear your take in the comments.

238 days until Red Bull Romaniacs.
Hillclimb training starts… and honestly, both I and the CFMOTO 450MT are still negotiating with gravity. 😅

Tomorrow I’m heading out to film five different climbs —
and let’s be real: 5 climbs = 5 chances to fail spectacularly.

Will we reach the top?
Will the bike give up?
Will I give up before the bike?

Find out on Thursday. Stay tuned. 🤘

New video just dropped! 🔧

I finally upgraded the 450MT with real ADV protection — a 4mm skid plate, lightweight crash bars, and the handguards that have survived all my “unplanned durability tests”… 😅

If you ride off-road, this is the fix the bike actually needs.
In the video I compare weights, install everything, and explain why you shouldn’t wait too long with the skid plate upgrade.

Rade Garage also gave a 15% discount code: ADVNORTH
(Works on everything except navigation + suspension parts.)

Are you still running the stock skid plate?

🔧 New video coming this week!

I’m testing a lightweight ADV protection setup for the 450MT — skid plate, hand guards, and crash bars that are stronger than stock yet lighter than anything else I’ve found online.

It’s a surprising combo… and it already saved my bike once.

Can lightweight protection actually work off-road?
We’ll find out this week 💥

(And yes — there will be a small discount code for those who want to check the parts out)

A bit chilly outside... Time to stop riding? Hell no... let's order a bunch of tire studs and test out the CFMOTO 450MT in the snow!

What’s the coldest you’ve ridden in?

New video is live!!
Six off-road mods that completely transformed my CFMOTO 450MT — including one free mod almost nobody talks about.
If you ride forest trails, gravel or technical terrain, this one’s for you.

Which upgrade do you think makes the biggest difference off-road?
