'Motorcycle Tech and Travel' shares new places to ride and how to service, troubleshoot and repair your motorcycle. "100 miles from nowhere" with a flat tire or an engine no start, your mechanical savvy, tools and the right spare parts are more important than how good you look standing on the foot pegs, drifting through corners. Preventive maintenance is as important as picking the right line at stream crossings. 'Motorcycle Tech and Travel' focuses on backcountry riding and how to make your motorcycle reliable and safer for adventure travel.
My dirt motorcycling began with a 1969 BSA 441cc Victor Special. Today's family stable includes a vintage Honda XR350R, an XR500R restoration project, a like new XR400R and my dual-sport converted XR650R. During my career as a mechanic, automotive instructor and journalist, I wrote the Harley-Davidson Evolution V-Twin Owner's Bible™ (Bentley Publishers).—Moses Ludel
