Friends, vagabonds, and well-intentioned troublemakers—welcome to Knobby Adventures, the finest establishment this side of nowhere for those who believe a good road is merely a suggestion and a great one is made of dirt.
Whether you’re throttling through backcountry trails, wrestling your machine out of a mud hole, or simply staring at maps with longing and poor judgment, you are in the right place.
So wipe the dust from your brow, pull up a chair, and let’s exchange tall tales from 56 of our favorite trips, over 826 total days, and 129,000 miles. Perhaps you'll get some ideas for your next trip!
I'm Mr. Knobby—a seasoned wayfarer with a dual-sport between my knees, a wandering spirit in my chest, and a long-standing habit of choosing the most challenging routes. Knobby Adventures is my endeavor to chronicle the highs, lows, and occasional calamities of life on two wheels. This isn't a place for perfection but for embracing the grand and glorious mess of the journey—complete with wrong turns, unexpected discoveries, and the occasional unscheduled dismount.Along the way, I share tales of adventure, hard-earned wisdom, and perhaps some useful advice—though I make no promises on that last part.
All the trip ideas and downloadable tracks here are shared freely, with no cost involved. It's my way of giving back to the adventure motorcycling community that has given me so much.
