Mission Overland

Archives

I recently took another step towards completing the Oklahoma Adventure Trail the way it was intended… on a motorcycle.

A few days ago I set off on my first motorcycle trip and in the interest of getting a beginners take on the matter, here is how it went…

In early 2017, I started looking at the Trans-America Trail (TAT) which was a trail spanning the continental United States and developed for adventure motorcycles. At that time in my life, motorcycles were not an option, so I started looking at adventuring in my 1987 Jeep Wrangler. The TAT takes a while and I was looking for something easier to get into adventuring.

In the process of getting my wife to let me have a motorcycle, and in the interest of self-preservation, I want to take a min to talk about rider safety and my journey to be the safest I possibly can on the road.

Today I want to talk about what led me to adventure motorcycles.
