ROUNDTABLE - Wingnuts and Hooligans of 25'

Send us Fan Mail We bring Chris Peloso and Hunter Wray to the Rountable to unpack what it really takes to win the ADV Cannonball Rally when points, planning, and chaos collide. We trade the polished version for the real one: tracker mind games, rule loopholes, hard lessons in the desert, and the thin line between smart strategy and dumb suffering. • Planning months ahead and choosing the right bike for the job • Packing light as a performance advantage over long days • The moment the “not a race” myth ends • Winning time in corners through cumulative decisions • Points strategy versus first-to-finish pressure • The rule change that ends hotel backtracking • Using the Public Leaderboard for real-time route decisions • Turning the tracker off and the risks of missing checkpoints • Where we draw the line when chasing points • Heat, dehydration, and close calls at federal land checkpoints • Shortcuts gone wrong, including farm fields and railroad tracks • Improvised repairs on the road, including sheet metal screws • Respecting rivals and helping each other finish • Lessons learned for new riders, including training and knowing limits • Why Frank becomes the rider everyone watches and roots for This episode was total fiction and generated by AI, it's not real.

ROUNDTABLE - Motorcycle Rally Mindset and Bike Prep

Send us Fan Mail We kick off a new Roundtable segment to help new riders get ready for a cross-country ADV rally without getting lost in hype. We talk mindset, bike prep, packing, navigation practice, and why chasing points with good judgement beats riding like a hero. • Setting goals that match your real reasons for riding • Staying flexible when the plan falls apart on day one • Choosing a points strategy instead of chasing first to finish • Dealing with curveballs like rain, closures, and mechanical issues • Tire wear, tire plugs, and planning a mid-rally tire change • Packing lighter to reduce wobble, fatigue, and hassle at hotels • Training for back-to-back 600 to 700 mile days • Building a practice rally course with checkpoints at home • Following GPX tracks versus relying on turn-by-turn routing • Remembering that accuracy earns points more reliably than speed • Riding with others for safety, navigation checks, and support • Using local intel to avoid dangerous roads in bad weather Keep posting questions because it gives us lots of great ideas on content.

Project 47 - Ride Thru Japan 🇯🇵 Interview & ADV Cannonball Rally News

Send us Fan Mail 🎙️ The boys crack open some craft IPAs 🍻 and dive into another wide-ranging episode of motorcycle-adjacent chaos. Aaron celebrates a fleeting #1 Amazon ranking for his book Chasing Legends, shares an update on his flooded apartment saga (spoiler: it got worse), and reveals his motorcycle has arrived safely in London, shipped for £1,500 all-in. Taylor's 16-year-old son takes second place at a Swedish battle of the bands, proving the Lawson legacy of "number two" runs deep. Featured Interview: Adam Lewis – Ride Through Japan The heart of this episode is a fantastic conversation with Adam Lewis, creator of the YouTube series Project 47. Born in Tennessee, raised in Australia, and a 26-year resident of Japan, Adam is solo moto-camping his way through all 47 Japanese prefectures, filming stunning rural roads, connecting with locals in fluent conversational Japanese, and telling Japan's story in a way even Japanese viewers are celebrating. He shares how his wife's cancer battle inspired a "life is now" philosophy, his upcoming six-month ride to finish the remaining 35 prefectures on a loaned Harley Pan America, and why the best of Japan is found on the forgotten mountain roads far from the tourist crowds.

Kerry Rides to the Arctic Ocean on a T7 - Tech Talk and ADV Cannonball News

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the ADV Cannonball Podcast, the conversation kicks off with a wildly improbable real estate saga that ends in a perfectly timed disaster and a very lucky escape. From there, the talk flows naturally into motorcycles, gear, and the realities of adventure riding, including jackets, boots, helmets, navigation tech, and what actually works when conditions turn ugly. The episode builds toward a feature interview with Kerry Lebel, who rode all the way to the Arctic Ocean, sharing first-hand insight into fuel planning, weather extremes, camping in remote regions, wildlife encounters, and lessons learned the hard way. Equal parts storytelling, practical advice, and unapologetic rambling, this episode delivers the kind of experience-based wisdom and humor that defines life on two wheels.
