You know you are on an adventure ride when

You cross a new border
Face a little fear
Get shot at and missed (Theodore Roosevelt)
Find something new in your gut
Other Ideas?

You know, it's not about the bike.

You know you should turn around, but won't.

The hair on the back of your neck is standing up.

There is only 2 hours of daylight left and it's 3 hours home.

There's 2 hours of daylight and it's three hours over the mountains on gravel in a foreign country to the nearest town with a hotel.

You dont NEED a destination

You dont WAIT for "the gang" to go riding

You cant READ "private road", "no trespassing", or "not a through road"

You will ride off the map

You will ride down a road, alley, trail - just to see where it goes!

You have 1 gallon of gas left, $10.00 in your pocket, no money in the bank, no credit card... and it's 60 miles to the next town where you will look for a job to continue your ride. Try that sometime. That will pucker your bunger and challenge your people skills.
