MO's Ultimate Sport-Touring Adventure Update Day 2
Day two of MO’s Ultimate Sport-Touring adventure is in the bag and all the bikes are performing flawlessly so far (not to give anything away). The gang started their day in Big Sur, winding their way up the coast again to avoid the heat going inland. They passed through San Francisco, while continuing to ride along California’s western border, all the way to Gualala, some 250-plus miles from their starting point (check out their GPS position here, courtesy of Spot Tracking). That distance may not seem like much for a day’s ride, but factor in stops in scenic areas for photo passes and video shoots and you can see where much of a day can be spent.
Still, road trips often mean meeting people with interesting stories. Such is the case with Sam, who rode across the country from Farmington, Maine aboard his 1979 Suzuki GS850. Kudos, Sam! Check out more pics from the MO crew below.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
