I found a great thread over on ADV Rider.com discussing how to ADVenrturize your motorycle. Walter worked on a BMW X-Challenge, but the info and principals he talks about apply to any bike. His posts are well worth a read. He is also the author of The Endless Highway website which has some incredible adventure motorcycle porn to offer anyone with time to surf.
Walter is the guy who made the Russian enduro video I posted a few days ago. He tells a great story and takes great photos.
