ATGATT? – Question of the Day

Be honest, now May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, which makes it as good a time as any for all of us to take stock of our own riding habits, both good and bad. Most motorcyclists are familiar with the acronym “ATGATT”, but for those who aren’t, it stands for “All The Gear, All The Time”. That means wearing the right safety equipment every time you ride, whether you’re commuting to work, or hopping over to the corner store for a carton of milk.

When is a 500 Not a 500? – Question of the Day

When it's a 451, d'uh. In our last Question of the Day, we asked about some of the more… questionable names given to motorcycles (Hondas seemed to come up fairly often in the replies, which is both interesting and somehow not surprising.) I mentioned how it’s generally safer for a manufacturer to stick to a combination of letters and numbers.

Where In The World: A Week In Spain Testing Hypermotards and Dukes

Trizzle’s week-long Spanish residency testing five different bikes from two manufacturers As moto-journos, we get into this job to ride new bikes in far off locations. For 2024 anyway, that means Spain. Nearly every new model intro is being held in Spain this year, one literally right after the other.

Small Adventure Bike, Big Adventure Dreams

The long-term KTM 390 ADV Project Photos by Joe Jackson If you’ve had a pulse the last five years or so, you’ve noticed the urge to take two wheels into the dirt has swept through the motorcycle community like a rogue wave. Riders across age ranges, experience levels and even financial demographics have turned to off-road, not instead of, but in addition to any and all riding they were previously doing. So it’s no surprise to see small-sized ADV bikes plodding along behind the surge like the sure-footed mules that they are.

Seat Time: Falling on Your Face

Photography by: Matthew McNulty and Justin Coffey After scrolling through endless lists of famous quotes looking for something which really suits my condition, I landed on this: “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” —Paulo Coelho It’s not the most profound of the options.
