I used to think that there were 2 kinds of Adventure riders. Ones that spent weekends riding off road in the woods or deserts and those that took multi month, multi nation trips. Now, according to the article, one must travel off road for it to be an adventure.
I consider myself a bike rider who travels, I have backpack/Bused around the world and ridden around but the best of 2 worlds is travelling on a bike. I just don't go for the little off road bikes and I like to ride on road, preferably paved and curvy.
Most of the world has roads now, and you can get away from your comfort zone very easily without going off road.
I have had people laugh at the ADV sticker on my Victory when their GS has never been across a border.
I like adventure
Dirt and mud, not so much
