WELCOME Welcome to a second issue of Getting into Adventure, this one produced to coincide with London Motorcycle Show, with many of the stories coming from the speakers who are presenting on the Tom Tom Adventure Stage. None are professional travellers, simply people that have found themselves in the position where a journey by motorcycle makes the most sense and have lived to tell the tale. I hope what you’ll find interesting is that whilst their trips and routes might be considered quite extreme, the situations and scenarios the people found themselves in at the start of their trips were much the same as any of us; often loss of relatives, relationships or lifestyles. Taboo as it may sound but loss is one of the greatest driving forces behind adventure and sometimes without such loss it’s difficult to make the sacrifices needed to make bigger trips like these happen. That’s why once again the focus is not on the distance or time on the road, nor is it about what bikes people ride or what gear they wear. It’s about the simple act of getting out there and challenging yourself to do that extra mile. And most of all have some fun on a bike along the way. A great story this issue is by Tim Duncan. Hamstrung like the rest of us by commitments and other priorities, Tim fills up his cheap Chinese 125 and sees how far he can ride and how much he can see in just that one tank of fuel. Whether in Wales or the wilds of Mongolia, the same nerves of excitment kick in and by the end of the journey the same sense of achievement in having done what you set out to do. Happy travels, wherever you end up. “ADVENTURE BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU STEP OUT OF YOUR FRONT DOOR” CONTENTS AFRICA WITH AUTISM Page 4-5 BENEATH THE SURFACE Page 6-7 THE SELFIE GENERATION Page 8-9 PERCEPTION VS REALITY Page 10-11 THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY Page 12-13 AROUND THE WORLD IN A 1000 WORDS Page 14-15 THE LADY ON THE BIKE Page 16-17 THE TRAVELLING CIRCUS Page 18-19 GEOFF’S INDIAN ODYSSEY Page 20-22 PACKING FOR A LONG DISTANCE TRIP Page 24-25 SOLO FEMALE TRAVELLER Page 26-27 BUILDING AN ADVENTURE BIKE Page 28-29 BUDGET BIKES TO CONSIDER Page 32-33 NEW BIKES TO CONSIDER Page 34-35 ANATOMY OF A TRAVEL BIKE Page 36-37 THE BIKE TOURATECH BUILT Page 38-39 QUICK TIPS ON EUROPE Page 40 FILMING YOUR OWN ADVENTURE Page 42-43 C90S ON THE NC500 Page 44-45 THE ONE TANK CHALLENGE Page 46-47 Getting into Adventure is designed, written and published by Nathan Millward With gratitude to and all advertisers Cover illustration by Dave Webb @ Wearebeard
