2021 Africa Twin Adventure Sport ES DCT here. I’d be up for some easy off-road stuff.

I recently picked up a BMW 310GS and I love it. I'm not much of an adventurer, I've never been offroad on anything more treacherous than a gravel road but I love this little thing.

Thought I'd post up about a product I installed today which literally doubled how pleasurable the motorcycle is to ride. I'm no shill, no association with anyone but if you ride and don't have factory cruise control, do yourself a favor and research the Atlas Throttle Lock. It ain't cheap but I don't see me ever regretting this purchase.

I'll be interested to see how well this works out over time. I have one of those cheapie clamps that hook to the throttle and friction fit against the brake lever. I've used it enough to know it works, but really don't take it out from under the seat at all.

Apparently someone in my office complex is kind of an adventure sports kind of guy. He has an almost dirt bike-esque KTM dual sport that he'll ride in on occasion. It looks well-used judging only by the dirt on it.

Funny to me, as a guy who has never ridden a motor cycle, as to how there are even divisions within the DS motorcycle game. There are the street machines and then there are the more trail-oriented bikes. Heck, for all I know, all it requires is a tire change?

If I were to be a motorcycle dude, I really do think I'd appreciate the upright stance of a DS bike vs. others, though.

I'm having a REALLY tough time deciding between a BMW GSA or a GTL for my next bike.
I sold my LT to get my kid a dependable vehicle for college a while back...

I have a street legal XR650R. I have had it for about 11 years now. The first year I had it I was riding to back and fourth from Warsaw to Huntington for a summer internship I had. Man that seat is hard. I have done a few enduros for fun on it, taken it to the Badlands and Haspin a few times. A couple of years ago I took it down to Ashville NC area and road a bunch of forest service roads. It doesn't get ridden much anymore but I can't bring myself to sell it. I always loved the way they look with the bug eyed headlights they ran for baja. A few years ago I fabricated some mounts to fit Jeep headlights.

If you're into adventure cycling try 37 between 465 and Martinsville!

I had a 2017 GSA 1250. REALLY sorry I sold it...
Set up with panniers, top case, off road lights, windshield, cruise, GPS, and yes, I am a dumbass.

I tried one of those and hated it.

Atlas Throttle Locks installed on 2 bikes. Both my wife and I ride with Atlas. Great unit, quality construction, works. Nothing is as good as real cruise control, but if your bike doesn't come with cruise, or can't be fitted with cruise, then the Atlas is the way to go.

I didn't dislike mine, just found that I never really used it much. I tend to ride fast and seem to have very few streches of time with no throttle work.

I do appreciate the occasional right hand relaxing. Just don't seem to need it much more than when letting the bike back off?

I still keep the clamp under the seat in case of a long ride hand issue. Just haven't really had them much.

Might be because its rare for me to ride for more than 3-4 hour stints, without a stop?

Probably.
