Show notes

This week on Internet Riding Buddies, Ben and Grace talk with Trav (@explore_adventure_moto) and Chad (@goodlife_adv) about their respective motorcycle accidents in 2023, which left them with broken legs.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the gnarlier side of the sport we love, and while this can sometimes be a touchy topic for riders, we hope it provides some insight of how important protective gear is, that mistakes happen to everyone, and the value of riding with friends who have your back.

GATEKEEPING Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

One of the biggest issues both Ben and Grace have within the adventure motorcycle world is gatekeeping - or rather - the practice of one human being taking it upon themselves to dictate who is or isn't performing an activity or a part of a community due to their personal stipulations. This includes phrases like "that's not real off road riding" or "you call this camping" or "you aren't a real dirt bike rider unless..."

We don't like it. We won't have it. And we definitely ain't gonna stand for it. Join the rant and let's put these egomaniacs in their place.
