4 years, 40 countries, and countless adventures later, I'm back! Join me as I dive back into the world of motorcycle travel with a new bike build video. After losing all my previous content here due to a domain mistake, I'm excited to share my latest project with you.
This is Part I, where I simply install parts on the Desert X to my liking that would work great for a long distance journey. Part II will reveal the whole set-up including luggage and storage options and riding footage. Stay tuned!
Disclaimer: I am not a professional mechanic but I prefer to work on my bikes. I have not owned an adventure bike here in the U.S since 2019 as I travel a lot for work and get to ride a lot of different bikes. I recently purchased a brand new 2023 Ducati Desert X which will most likely end up in special projects for my job. But before putting any miles on it, I wanted to set it up the way I wanted. I have not filmed all the details or the exact process, but feel free to comment and ask questions regarding the parts and why I chose them.
