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.

Tomorrow I’m putting my CFMOTO 450MT on the scales.

Not only total weight… but also front vs rear weight distribution.
I haven’t seen many people measure that on YouTube, and it should tell us a lot more than just one total number.

Time to see what this bike really weighs — and where that weight actually is.

Tomorrow’s upload: Stock vs Budget vs Premium slip-on sound test 🔊

I kept it fair: same mic position, same location, fully warmed engine — plus ride-bys.

The stock slip-on gets a lot of praise. Let’s see if an aftermarket option can match it… or sound even better.

Are you running stock or aftermarket? 👇

I’m working on a new video about the CFMOTO 450MT.

Not a review.
Not a mod video.

Just 10 things that genuinely surprised me after owning and riding it.

Some good.
Some unexpected.
Some that changed how I look at this bike.

Before I finish it:

👉 What surprised you the most about your 450MT?

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.)

👉 Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/Xit5GPxEtis

Are you still running the stock skid plate?
