riding bitumin- is this adventure?

TI just rode east coast to west 6500 kms in under 7 days.is this adventure? It was defenitely a hoot.dodging roos, cattle,cops!double demerits.

That would just be regular touring wouldn't it?

I just did 2000K on a ZZR250, all on road, not ADV style riding but I still had a ball.

If you had fun then who cares what you call it?

Depends on road condition, in regards to adventure level.:huh

Agree.

If you aren't riding on tar, you must be riding on dirt, which is just trail riding.

The adventure part is independent of the surface.

Al.

And yet again we get people who are confusing the word "Adventure" with the meaning of the words "Adventure riding"...

Every time this comes up we seem to get people who want the label of "Adventure rider" more than they want to do any all roads touring.

The term "Adventure riding" is traditionally used to describe touring by motorcycle on gravel, or unsealed roads, if the traveling is being done on mainly sealed roads, then it is Motorcycle touring, which is no less of a form of riding than unsealed roads touring.

As I said in my first post, if you enjoy it, then who cares what it is called.

judgement on this one please?

I'd say that road is fucked...

If it is in that condition for a few hundred K then I wouldn't call it a sealed road...

and Trev nails it

Our local council would say....
Road surface is appropriate for number of vehicle movements and population density
But I agree with tREV, it's fucked!

It was adventurous. On the Hayabusa. Russian roulette on desert highways.met some animals at warp speeds but unlike a car I need a foot of space so we all live happily ever after.how do I post some pics?

if adventure is merely discomfort recounted at leisure, then how sore if your butt

Looks like standard operating conditions for Central Queensland...

There are no rules.

If that's the traditional name for it so be it. Sounds like an urban definition to me.

I just ride bikes...

Al.

Um, a better section of the Bruce Highway north of Rocky?

Entirely agree. Its a ride

Possibly. It was for me when I did it 30 years ago anyway.
