What’s your best “I pretended to be cool and it backfired” riding moment?

The universe has a funny way of slapping us right across the face the second we start to feel overly confident in ourselves – and decide to show off. Or try to look cool, aloof, and mysterious…only to be immediately reminded that we looked, in fact, like a bewildered raccoon with a motorcycle.

Just about everyone here has:

- stalled in front of an audience
- dropped the bike at 0 km/h
- confidently said “I know the way” and got lost immediately
- “diagnosed” a problem that turned out to be something painfully obvious (of the “it’s not the spark plugs, it’s an empty tank” variety)

Share yours. Make us feel less alone🥹

Lyndon Poskitt’s Races to Places isn’t a “look how epic I am” book.

It’s a “here’s what it took, here’s what broke, here’s what I learned when I couldn’t outrun my own head” book.

If you’ve already read it (or watched the series), what’s the moment that stuck with you the most?

The funniest failure, the most human line, the bit that made you go “oh… same.”

Share it in the comments.

And if you haven’t read it yet, start with the blog interview on our site.

What’s the one rule you broke that immediately charged you a hefty suffering tax?

Like, say…

“I rode in the dark because I’m above potholes. It earned me a dented rim”.

“Thought the tent didn’t really need ALL the pegs. Woke up with tent wrapped around my face”.

“Ignored the clouds and didn’t put the rain gear on. Proceeded to smell like fermented socks for a week straight”.

“Thought ‘that strap is probably fine.’ It was not fine.”

“Didn’t check chain tension because basic maintenance was beneath me on that particular Tuesday. Lost chain.”

Here’s a boring -but proven - truth that saves a lot of suffering and frustration: the trip you planned is not the trip you’re going to get.

Routes change. Weather changes. Your bike’s character changes.

You change.

So when people ask us what to look for in luggage, the answer isn’t “the perfect panniers.”

It’s a system you can adapt when reality shows up.

A good setup lets you:

- add small pieces when you need them (tools, wet layers, first aid, camera)
- strip it back when you don’t move weight around as the ride changes
- keep the core stuff dry and secure without turning your bike into a flapping regret machine

That’s why we build Enduristan gear to be modular and mix-and-match, not one fixed “this is your life now” configuration.

Our patented Standard Interface system is basically adult Lego for people who like to customize things as they go along: add Sidekicks to your Hailstorms or pannier toppers to your Monsoons, stick a map pocket on your tank bag or use it for your documents, use your Hurricane as a backpack, a hydrapak, or an emotional support animal – the configurations are yours to make.

Question: are you a “set it once and forget it” packer, or do you reconfigure your setup every trip?

Most people schedule adventure around life.

Lyndon Poskitt did the opposite. He took a sledgehammer to “normal,” built Basil the Bike, and let dirt, races, borders, breakdowns, and chaos become his day job.
If you’ve ever lost an evening - or several weeks - to the Races to Places YouTube rabbit hole, you already know the headline numbers: 245,000km, 74 countries, 11 races, millions of views. You know the “how,” too: rally starts, paperwork purgatory, sketchy fuel, mechanical grief, and the kind of stubborn follow-through that gets you to Rally Dakar… and, somehow, back again.

What you might not know until you read his new book, Races to Places, is the “who.”

Because this isn’t a Cool Dakar Dude victory lap.

It’s raw, human, and vulnerable.

Lyndon doesn’t smooth the edges off the story to make it more heroic. He leaves in the parts most people would edit out: getting ripped off, the uncomfortable realities of sponsorships, the moments where the dream costs more than you expected, the self-reflection that shows up when you’re exhausted and alone and you can’t outrun your own head.

And the book has this unexpectedly great undercurrent of curiosity. Not just collecting miles and medals, but writing about the world as it is. The weird little details. The people. The way travel changes you when you stop treating it like content and start treating it like a mirror.

It’s also practical in the most Lyndon way possible: he wanted the book to be useful, not just inspiring, so there’s real technical stuff in there too.

But maybe the part that lands hardest isn’t even about bikes.

If you’ve ever built something, chased something, postponed something, or watched other people live online while telling yourself “one day,” this story is going to get under your skin.

And then it’ll hand you the simplest permission slip:

You don’t need the perfect bike, plan, or the perfect version of yourself.

Start with what you’ve got. Be honest about what you want. And when the road shows you the way, follow it.

What’s the most useful piece of ADV wisdom you’ve ever learned the hard way?

Not the “buy this thing” advice or the “here’s my 47-step packing spreadsheet” stuff.

We want to hear reality-based truth that’s usually only discovered after enough miles, enough weather, and at least two stupid decisions.

Like:

“Stop riding when you’re hungry. You’re not brave, you’re just under-fueled.”
“If you think you might need the rain layer soon-ish, you need it now.”
“Don’t fix problems in the dark unless you enjoy suffering as a hobby.”
“Don’t accidentally wash your socks with WD40”
“Do carry WD40”
“Duct tape is a solution. But it is not a forever solution”

Kinda busy trying to figure out rackless vs rack-mounted panniers?

We’ve got your back: check out our latest blog post.

08/28/2026

Here’s the thing: rackless soft panniers are not fragile. They’re just… honest.

They will faithfully (and, sometimes, rudely) reflect:

- your mounting technique,
- your packing discipline,
- and whether you treated exhaust heat like a real thing or like a rumor.

A heat shield seems like such an easy thing to forget…until you realize your right pannier is slowly but surely becoming a molten goo.

What’s your worst “melted something” story? (We’ve all got one.)

08/25/2026

If you’ve ever packed for a “quick weekend ride” and then wondered why your bike suddenly handles like a shopping cart with a grudge… welcome. 😅

Rackless vs rack-mounted soft panniers sounds like a comment-section rage match until you’re picking your bike up for the third time thinking: did I strap a small refrigerator to my tail?

We’ve all been there – which is why we wrote a no-BS decision framework based on real-world riding (not “best setup” listicle whathaveyou):

• When rackless makes sense (and when it betrays you)
• When racks are actually worth the weight + hassle
• Why hybrid setups might be the most grown-up answer for “weekends now, big trips later”

Head on over to our blog section and read the whole thing (it’s worth it. Promise).

Question for the community: what’s your current setup and what did you learn the hard way?

Pack your soft luggage so that it doesn’t unpack itself mid-trail.
