Sometimes you just have to drop everything, bite the bullet and say, “Yeah, mate. I’m in!”
Which is pretty much how my chance to ride the American KTM Adventure Rallye back in 2010 came up. I’d heard the event was being staged in Moab, Utah, and I knew the place was famous for its slick rock canyon riding, Jeep tracks and mind-bending scenery that looks like it came straight out of a Road Runner cartoon.
It didn’t take too much arm-twisting to get my good mate in Los Angeles, Big Rich, in on the tour — which was kind of handy, because he’s got a fleet of dirtbikes and a mighty Ford pick-up lining
