MOTORCYCLE ADVERTURISM – The Good, Bad and Dirty Exposed: Touring, Street and In-The-Dirt.

ADV Motorcycle and Motorcycling Defined! Author Frazier and Senior Editor, Paul H Smith, at ADV MOTO magazine captured the essence of Adventure Motorcycling and Motorcycle Adventure from the How-To to “No, you’re not there yet,” and “Good or excellent adventure motorcycling..” Together they explained the parameters of the rapidly growing niche, clique or cult in the all-terrain motorcycle travel market.

A look at motorcycle adventuring riding as it has evolved into the 21st Century over 120 years. Includes professional adventure motorcycle tips, tricks, survival techniques and failures, with the jaded and humorous worldly slant of a globally recognized motorcycle journalist who has circumnavigated the world six times and ridden motorcycles for over 1,000,000 miles, literally to the ends of the earth, and coined the term “Motorcycle Adventurism.”

For the dreamer wannabe, newbie or advanced adventure rider, it is an esoteric tome that some ADV riders will not have the mental bandwidth to wrap their heads around, while motorheads and experienced adventure motorcycle travelers alike will have many of the “Ahhhaaa” moments of recognition and laughs with and at the author.

Required reading for academics, historians, researchers and students of adventure motorcycling. ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLIST separates the wheat from the chaff in the world of adventure seekers using motorcycles as a tool.

Warning: For those who have little sense of humor and/or take their adventure motorcycling too seriously, this definitive book has been described as a provocative and cranial reading adventure.

Author Frazier, described as “America’s # 1 extreme motorcycle adventurer” by RIDER and MOTORCYCLE CONSUMER NEWS magazines, laughed and shrugged in this definitive book when asked “What is a motorcycle adventure or rider and what is the best adventure motorcycle?” He shrugged and said, “Any motorcycle can be used for an adventure, and like a US Supreme Court Justice said of pornography, I know a motorcycle adventure and an adventure motorcyclist when I see or meet one.”

Earlier published books by Frazier, like MOTORCYCLE TOURING: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURER, BMW GSing AROUND THE WORLD, DOWN AND OUT IN PATAGONIA, KAMCHATKA, AND TIMBUKTU, and MOTORCYCLE SEX support and feed the latest tome, ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLIST: FRAZIER SHRUGGED..

BMW, Harley-Davidson, KTM, Indian, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Minsk, Suzuki, Enfield, Henderson, they are all singled out as FRAZIER SHRUGGED motorcycle adventuring for nearly 60 years while riding, racing, restoring and repairing motorcycles he has used around and to the ends of the world.

Elon Musk received the first autographed print copy of ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLIST: FRAZIER SHRUGGED.. Musk and Frazier have a common goal, Musk to die on Mars, Frazier to die on a motorcycle, but both wishing not to die from sudden impact.
