Just an ordinary guy chasing extraordinary adventures.
I rediscovered motorcycling after 25 years away — and found a whole new world in adventure riding, overlanding, and exploring the outdoors.
Now I’m training for one of my biggest goals yet: Red Bull Romaniacs 2026, competing in the Adventure class on my CFMOTO 450MT.
Join me on the journey from first ADV miles to Romaniacs finisher — through trails, crashes, and everything in between.

One year with my CFMOTO 450MT today.
8,000 km later, this bike has been through gravel roads, trails, crashes, upgrades, weight reduction, suspension changes, exhaust tests, and a lot of learning.
Maybe it’s time for a proper 12 Months / 8,000 km Review?
What would you like me to cover — reliability, problems, upgrades, cost, off-road performance, or what I would change if I started ove

New video is live.
The CFMOTO 450MT engine is not as “new” as many people think.
I break down the 450 twin platform, the 270° crank, and the changes made for the 450MT.
Watch it now.

Tomorrow I’m putting my CFMOTO 450MT on the scales.
Not only total weight… but also front vs rear weight distribution.
I haven’t seen many people measure that on YouTube, and it should tell us a lot more than just one total number.
Time to see what this bike really weighs — and where that weight actually is.

Tomorrow’s upload: Stock vs Budget vs Premium slip-on sound test 🔊
I kept it fair: same mic position, same location, fully warmed engine — plus ride-bys.
The stock slip-on gets a lot of praise. Let’s see if an aftermarket option can match it… or sound even better.
Are you running stock or aftermarket? 👇

I’m working on a new video about the CFMOTO 450MT.
Not a review.
Not a mod video.
Just 10 things that genuinely surprised me after owning and riding it.
Some good.
Some unexpected.
Some that changed how I look at this bike.
Before I finish it:
👉 What surprised you the most about your 450MT?

New video drops tomorrow.
I’m breaking down the next off-road upgrades for the CFMOTO 450MT —
what’s changing, and more importantly why.
No installs yet.
Just real riding experience, real problems, and a clear plan.
Video goes live tomorrow evening. 👊

CFMOTO 450MT vs Tenere 700 – the argument everyone keeps bringing up.
“Why don’t you just buy a Tenere instead of upgrading a CFMOTO?”
I hear that comment all the time.
So I finally broke it down properly.
Not a ride comparison.
Not brand loyalty.
No spec-sheet wars.
In the video I look at:
- real-world mods (what people actually change)
- total cost of ownership
- OEM repair parts (this one surprised me)
- resale value — what we know, and what we don’t
The 450MT is often called a “mini Tenere” — usually as a compliment (I assume)
📺 Video drops tomorrow.
If you’ve ridden both bikes, I’d genuinely like to hear your take in the comments.

Suspension just leveled up!
New cartridges and springs are in — the bike already feels next-level.
