Episode 1: Turning this Old Newbie into an ADV Motorcycle Rider

I want to go camping and backpacking, but cars are boring. All I need is the right motorcycle to carry me and my gear to outdoor adventure. Kiki, my evil AI assistant, thinks a budget adventure motorcycle will be perfect for me; specifically, the Kawasaki Versys X 300. The Versys X is a mini adventure motorcycle, perfect for a beginner adventure motorcycle rider like me. But riding skill isn't immediate. Can the MSF RiderBasics course get me a good jumpstart into ADV motorcycling?

The MSF course was a good choice for me. The teachers forced me out of my comfort zone, making me deal with the basics of riding, then moving on to tricky slow-speed drills. If you want the best beginner motorcycle kickstart, I think this is it. I spent many, many hours after the class on the MSF drills, and each time I felt more confident and capable. I highly recommend it.

This is only the beginning, so Subscribe right away to see the full adventure. We'll discuss this excellent budget adv motorcycle, build it with some ADV motorcycle mods, and show what budget motorcycle camping is really like. See you 'round!
