According to the Oxford dictionary adventure means - "an unusual and exciting or daring experience".

Talking of magazine material, I've just realised that it is the 100th anniversary of the first round the world trip on a motorcycle, I don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere, you would have thought it was worth a small corner of an ABR? Surprising seeing as "unusual and daring experience bikes" are all the rage at the moment!

Interestingly Carl Stearns Clancy didn't ride a BMW to complete his epic "adventure", he chose a Henderson! I guess we have to blame him as the first to use the word adventure (well adventurer) motorcycling in 1912. Still, great achievement though and he deserves remembering.
