For me, I'd like to see info on trail tool kit contents and common trail side repair techniques. I am coming in from a bicycle background and can handle about any repair on those when out in remote places but motorcycles are a whole different animal and I need to get educated there.
I would like to see more of the advanced rider teaching less advanced Rider scenarios like the deep sand video. These demonstrate the building steps of the skills and how it's necessary to build up and practice. Thank you so much your videos have helped make my limited time riding even more enjoyable.
BDR planning. There is a lot that goes into logistics, weather, tire management, seasons, etc. and localize it - what works for NM does not work for WY.
Techniques for avoiding the most common bike drop situations. I wish I could show you spots I've messed up and hit the ground, and have you talk through better lines or techniques. Of course, you don't need my specific locations--I bet you know what kind of terrain (downhill corner on loose gravel, etc.) trip up newish riders! Talk us through the mistake that results in the bike getting dropped, and ways to avoid it without getting injured. :)
Ahhhhhhh Dusty we LOVE you!!!! So I am a small ADV Vlogger, but here is what I would like to see you guys do some Deep Dives into: - Setting up suspension properly on an ADV bike! What the hell is Sag?? What the Hell is rebound??? What the Hell is compression??? And not just a shop manual how to - actually making changes and them demoing how it changes when you ride the bike - I think this is the only way ut will ever sink in!!! - Your favorite field repair hacks! How to fix a busted side stand kill switch? How to rig a busted lever if there is nothing around except wire ties and a vice grip? How to get home with a busted case and JB Weld??? How to rig a broken shifter lever. All the "get me home" fixes you guys love - Your favorite comfort hacks - how do I keep my damn left wrist from locking up when I am clutching all day? How so I keep my butt comfortable on long ass rides? How to make friends with my new quick release goggles that block my vision and annoy my nose? Is there a Unicorn ADV jersey that is padded, CE rated and will protect me but does not weigh as much as a stupid full on riding jacket??? - Your favorite maintenance hacks - what, how often, which products, dos, don'ts and how to stretch out the time in between My 2 cents Glad to see you posting regularly!
Also, would love interviews with overland riders that do long international trips and their tips and tricks for travel - choice of routes, how they make it affordable or how they support themselves to keep riding, war stories from the road…etc
Raw riding videos. Just having some fun. Maybe sprinkle one in every now and then. All I know is thank you for everything you do. You and others like have taught me enough to enjoy myself and to make it home safe with a smile. Thank you
Your videos have always been of great help. What nobody speaks about is tricks and techniques for 2up riding, On road, off road, passenger movements, braking, potholes and bumps, slow uphill difficult curves and so on. I have riden from Alaska to Patagonia and much more with my wife behind, Doing it as a couple is the best you can do but it implies extra effort and responsibility. Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos - but since you’re asking what I’d like most to watch, that’d be riding techniques, packing for different kinds of trips, and gear reviews in that order.
Love this channel and that Norden is an awesome machine! For me I would like to see some common roadside repairs just to get you back to where help is at hand. Also - more skill challenges (especially if they include pillion) that I can practice in my local parking lot without having to head for the hills........thanks again for a great channel 🙂
For us older guys on heavy adventure bikes, like my CF Moto Ibex 800T, I'm not giving up yet at 71. But it's all but impossible to pick up alone. Bad knee, two back surgeries over the years , I need a lifting device, the dirt napper is no longer made and could use some ideas. Thank you for all you do.
Places that you go riding. Give us a tour of your favorite places to ride. Maybe trails in northern or southern Arizona where ever you like to go. Places we can practice the tips and techniques you suggest. Or anything else it dont matter. One time a buddy and I were driving through reddington in tucson and I sware I saw you taking a group in there I was so jealous. Any and all content is is open
How to handle long steep descents - especially if there are corners, ruts, and other annoying things. Maybe also some general safe riding reminders - we can get to focused on the 5% technical stuff and get lazy about the 95% of "normal" riding.
Giving back to the community. How can adventure riders leave things better than they found them? Volunteering, cleaning up, patronizing local businesses, donating, etc.
Hi, thanks for reaching out. How to lead and sweep a large group of riders with different skill levels and different bike sizes? The ADV club 140 strong and extremely active. Most rides get capped at 15. Simply need to learn how to lead and sweep bigger groups. Leaders and sweeps are volunteers.
Maintenance: 1. GEAR (goretex) pants, jackets, 2. BIKE (metal parts, plastic, electronics, wheels) Riding offroad requires more often maintenance, so would be great to learn from experienced offroad riders
Can you make a video on how to let your wife/ significant other you are leaving the kids with them for a couple of days while you go on an adventure? Or better yet a video of you explaining that she needs to give me permission to take a trip. I’m sure it would be easier hearing it from y’all! Keep up the good work! I enjoy all of your content.
Hi Dusty, What I need to know is how to be prepared for off road riding alone with a heavy bike. Not like the master Chris Birch type hard off roads, just scenic dusty roads for enjoy ☺️ Some must skills, self-training tricks and equipment check list will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help 🙏🏻 PS: I am riding 2022 KTM1290SAR
I'd like to see you go on multi-day rides, showing end-to-end pre-planning, packing, 'adventures' along the way and how you over-came them and retrospect on what went well and not.
Skills. Elephant snot peanut butter mud, with a low fender adventure bike. Off-road pillion ride training: what skills does the pillion need? When to turn around: Judging unfamiliar trails. Coping with adv related traffic: Side by sides, quads, dirt bikers, etc.
I'd like to see the fundamentals and drills for standing in a motorcycle. How the elbows go, where and how should I grab onto the bike (ankles, or knees, both, only ankles), how to effectively grab the motorcycle with the legs and how to use them to steer, how to counter balance standing up in a 3D plane, how to correctly position the levers, how to avoid washing out in the front in offroad, and so on.
Dusty, you put out great videos, most I’ve watched a couple times, but one I’ve watch 5-6 times “deep sand”. Recently I watched your video taking a young lady out and worked with her to gain additional skills / comfort in moderate to deep sand. I know you are putting pressure on the pegs, knee into the side but are you pushing or pulling on the handlebars? Maybe a video standing on your bike stationary, pretending to go through sand ( showing a Birds Eye view) where you put applying pressure on the pegs, tank, push/pull bars when the front wheel digs into the sand to the right or left. Or take some new riders you have recently trained, and have them describe there break through to comfort when riding through deeper sand. I’ll catch up to you sooner or later out in Berrago Springs
Top 5 or ten trail repairs, and their fixes. That way one could develop a great tool kit that would pertain to typical issues that occur during real riding scenarios.
I'd like to see: Suggestions or recommendations of adventure gear for 50/50 or mainly off-road but protective enough on the highway or twisties (more type or style than brand and model but recommendations for the later would also be nice). Tips on how to find good and/or pretty dirt roads of different levels around the US, other than the official BDRs. Road, trip or destination recommendations. Share tips or lessons acquired in your years teaching and guiding tours, which can help us avoid them or help is plan a better trip. There are many many videos of bike reviews, I'm not interested in more of them.
More riding, overcoming common obstacles during said ride, chats around the campfire, self recovery techniques you've actually have had to use. Things being taught that you just never actually end up using on yoru rides.. Bring your journeys and experience home.
a bike build could be an interesting series. For either a budget build, or improving an already adventure ready bike. Would love to see Rusty's take on certain adventure accessories. It's all too easy to be talked into buying the latest, say GIVI skid plate or ABS sensor protector, but is it really necessary .
Being a newbie at age 75 (previously street for 50 years) I haven’t seen all your videos yet. I certainly appreciate all I have seen so far! Being on a limited budget currently own a Honda CB 500X (modified quite a bit for ADV), a middle weight compared to your big GS and other bikesl. I am sure though that all your tips apply to lighter weight bikes also. So for me, ways to practice and learn on my own, test of reasonable priced gear such as helmets, gloves, clothes etc. In addition I am hot blooded so need advice on protective gear that flows TONS of air; helmets, pants, jackets. Curious if there is “skeleton “ type stuff you could wear over a long sleeve shirt and light pants like knee pads, hip or shin guards, arm guards, etc. I imagine you already covered some of this stuff and I will look for it. I have to travel quite a bit to take in person classes which makes them expensive plus taking time off work (I own and operate a small remodeling business) so I absolutely love being able to learn watching your videos….Thank You!
Riding Sand dunes. Crossing the Simpson desert Australia is on my bucket list, there is 1000 dunes and they get bigger as you head east until you get to Big Red just outside Birdsville.
Definitely skills training videos. Now, with the new Husquarna You can show maybe new other techniques like going through sand, mud, clay, ride through obstacles etc.
You're like the uncle of off-roard riding. Teach us your ways and give us ADVice. Maybe small adv bike pointers or an expert teaches a beginner rider. That's why I subscribe to yall. Also, don't be afraid to get creative. Like when you had the guy with the drum set on the trail.
I love just seeing you guys ride in the beautiful American west. That, and as some others mentioned how-to videos on maintenance like flat repairs (with tubed tires).
Bike Reviews, gear reviews, bike prepping (tire pressure, aftermarket parts, what to bring on a day ride, what to bring on a 3 day. ride). Best bike for beginners, best bike for short riders.
A video showing the off-road performance disparity between tires such as the Dunlop Mutant, Dunlop Trailmax Mission and the Dunlop Trailmax Raid. Mainly for mostly road-going guys like myself who might sample some light off road riding with road biased tires.
Since Dusty tours with riders on all types of motorcycles all year long... I'd love to hear "stories from the trail" listing the most common failures of each of the different bikes and how he's repaired them in the field... and/or which failures have been trip enders and if those could have been avoided. Probably too risky for your channel, but would be really interesting to get a true opinion on each brand... ie are KTM's really that bad?
So drone footage of 3 guys doing some hardcore no joke off roading, breaking mistakes down. I recommend using the scrambler 1200xe, KTM 690/701, Tenere 700.
Rather than specific gear reviews I’d like to see overall gear videos. Example…boot types and what is recommended for each type of place (eg, full mx boots for off road riding vs adv style boots for lite riding.
I'd like to see specific skills videos. Like pick a BDR, make a video of the expert sections. Or what its like when its wet. Its ok to repeat skill videos because you always will say different things that might make people relate to it better.
Hi Dusty, first of all, I took the same path as you, from the BMW1200 GSA to the Husky and I am very entertained seeing what it is capable of. Everything you share on offroad driving techniques is very useful, so I hope you continue doing it, thank you
How to find the trails, maybe including some What3Word addresses (every biker should have W3W on their phone) and also some camping tips. MOTO is good, but don't forget the TREK!
I feel like the grips too hot and I'm in Florida. I would change those tires as soon as possible (IMO) they don't hook-up, sadly my ankle and wrist know from experience. I did add crash bars (HEED) and although the quality is great, they failed in the design. You have to remove a good amount of hardware to change the oil. Given the intervals after the first change it's not horrible but, it's enough that I plan to make some of my own modifications to them. Excited to see more videos of your time in the 901!
I bought as slightly used 2022 Moto Guzzi V85TT as my first adventure bike. I’d like to know your thoughts on modulating a DRY clutch in slow-speed and/or technical maneuvers. This would apply to older GS’s as well. Do you treat a dry clutch the same as you’d treat a wet clutch?
It would be great if you create skills series from zero to hero. With practical exercises which help to improve particular skill, and highlight of common mistakes which beginners usually do on that exercises. There are similar good videos on your channel, in which you explain in details how to hold the bar, grip technique or body position etc. It very helpful because if you are beginner, you usually dont pay attention on such details. And more more more practical exercises to train and polish skills
How to include one's partner (in my case, wife) on holiday with a big bike (GS) and do some offroad paths. What can be done? What is definitely off the table 2-up? What is safe, what is not safe?
Honda NC750X DCT as a adventure bike build budget. I know, that it is 100% road bike now, but it was "15% enduro" in the past... and may be there are aftermarket kits that can help to build the NC750X Adventure.
I want to start riding, but I have no idea what a minimum garage setup should be. How should I store my bike -especially if there isn’t enough garage space. What expenses do I not know about? What service could/should you do yourself?
I like gear reviews, but more when it's a whole kit review. Like the setup for a 3 night trip vs 8 night trip. Riding technique is also great. Dusty's common sense approach to explaining things make this channel a go to for me.
I would like to see more videos using thumpers - much easier riding twins or bigger when you have instant power and instant throttle response …. Twist the throttle on a thumper and you can hear it wind up and ……. eventually the “power” comes on - how do you jump logs (obstacles) with that ??
I have a 23 r1250gsa. Love it.. I'm debating getting a 701 husky to add to my bikes to get better at riding off-road and in the sand at the NJ pinelands. What say you on that approach..
Trail fixes like flats, propping bikes up to remove wheels, chain repair, punctured engine cases. Oh and we need a good Blooper Reel!
I second this. How to take care of your bike is almost as important as technique
I'd like to see something almost like a workout plan but for adventure bike skills to practice
I second this idea. I suck at self-motivating but can follow directions!
I do a bit of highway to get to the start of a trail. It would be nice to see a 5-10min skills warmup i can do before starting on the trail.
Brett Tkacs did a video on this recently for staying in shape during the off season
Yes Please.
@@sethruter @advmotoskillz has exactly this on his channel.
Trip planning! How to find tracks and trails!
That’s a good one! Maybe with Rever or Calimoto or Gaia GPS.
For me, I'd like to see info on trail tool kit contents and common trail side repair techniques. I am coming in from a bicycle background and can handle about any repair on those when out in remote places but motorcycles are a whole different animal and I need to get educated there.
logistics of a week or two of adventure riding. Camping, food, distance, contingencies, showers, so forth.
I would like to see more of the advanced rider teaching less advanced Rider scenarios like the deep sand video. These demonstrate the building steps of the skills and how it's necessary to build up and practice. Thank you so much your videos have helped make my limited time riding even more enjoyable.
Riding techniques
Absolutely, specialty trails that have gravel and sand
BDR planning. There is a lot that goes into logistics, weather, tire management, seasons, etc. and localize it - what works for NM does not work for WY.

Hi! Definitely adventure bike skills, bike setup, trail tricks, and affordable or good deal gears reviews.
Trip planning, Route assessment as well as GPS integration.

Also - more skill challenges (especially if they include pillion) that I can practice in my local parking lot without having to head for the hills........thanks again for a great channel 🙂
Technical tips on riding, bike setup, trail side repairs are great. Keep them up. Maybe add in some trip planning and trip ideas.
I just want to see the big bikes on a motocross track....

Traveling & camping with a pillion passenger: how to keep it safe and comfortable on dirt roads, general tips and tricks...
Yes, this would be very helpful to me too.

Off-road pillion ride training: what skills does the pillion need?
When to turn around: Judging unfamiliar trails.
Coping with adv related traffic: Side by sides, quads, dirt bikers, etc.
Easy and free off-road navigation prep (not just in the US). Out in the wild mechanics, o/w punctures
Tools to pack on trips, universal maintenance tips (chain, cleaning around electronics), recommended riding courses/classes around the country.
Suspension tuning! It’s a mystery to a lot of people, including me.
I think trail side repairs (plugging a tubeless/changing tube, broken levers, etc) would be pretty cool
I'd like to see the fundamentals and drills for standing in a motorcycle. How the elbows go, where and how should I grab onto the bike (ankles, or knees, both, only ankles), how to effectively grab the motorcycle with the legs and how to use them to steer, how to counter balance standing up in a 3D plane, how to correctly position the levers, how to avoid washing out in the front in offroad, and so on.

Ride Techniques. What to do when the terrain changes drastically? From stones to sand, from dirt road to mud, for example
I would like to see travel videos or videos on behaviour in special driving situations. Interviews with well-known travellers would also be good.
I'd like to see:
Suggestions or recommendations of adventure gear for 50/50 or mainly off-road but protective enough on the highway or twisties (more type or style than brand and model but recommendations for the later would also be nice).
Tips on how to find good and/or pretty dirt roads of different levels around the US, other than the official BDRs.
Road, trip or destination recommendations.
Share tips or lessons acquired in your years teaching and guiding tours, which can help us avoid them or help is plan a better trip.

Have a look on mosko equipment you find what you need.
Riding Sand dunes. Crossing the Simpson desert Australia is on my bucket list, there is 1000 dunes and they get bigger as you head east until you get to Big Red just outside Birdsville.
Definitely skills training videos. Now, with the new Husquarna You can show maybe new other techniques like going through sand, mud, clay, ride through obstacles etc.
You're like the uncle of off-roard riding. Teach us your ways and give us ADVice. Maybe small adv bike pointers or an expert teaches a beginner rider.
That's why I subscribe to yall.
Also, don't be afraid to get creative. Like when you had the guy with the drum set on the trail.
I love just seeing you guys ride in the beautiful American west. That, and as some others mentioned how-to videos on maintenance like flat repairs (with tubed tires).
I’d love to see a short series on basic skills for those transitioning from the street to the dirt!
Show us more skill video and travel from beautifull country!
Bike Reviews, gear reviews, bike prepping (tire pressure, aftermarket parts, what to bring on a day ride, what to bring on a 3 day. ride). Best bike for beginners, best bike for short riders.
Drills and practice loops we can do to up riding skills. There are loads of slow skills options on roads but limited resources for adv riding.
You guys are awesome! Love the informative riding content y'all put out - Cheers!
Riding techniques, adventure routes, maintenance and mechanics simple, example: repairing and changing a tire on the road
Cues and pointers for experienced adventure riders of things to remember and focus on when you start riding again after the winter break
You as the hero.... I am a follower, and I love your content.
Riding techniques that transfer from carpark/asphalt (where most of us live) to offroad.
A video showing the off-road performance disparity between tires such as the Dunlop Mutant, Dunlop Trailmax Mission and the Dunlop Trailmax Raid. Mainly for mostly road-going guys like myself who might sample some light off road riding with road biased tires.
Basic suspension set up and what makes for a good suspension.
You guys make great videos!
Thanks! 👍
Have you seen our Suspension playlist?

So drone footage of 3 guys doing some hardcore no joke off roading, breaking mistakes down. I recommend using the scrambler 1200xe, KTM 690/701, Tenere 700.
Bike suspension setup. What is the right technique to set it up right? Then how to test it and what to look for. Then how to improve it...
I'd like to see something about farces what they do and what not. Like steering dampers for example
Can you please make a video of the essential tools and special tools for the 1250 GS Adventure. Thank you in advance, you all rock solid!🤙🤛
All your videos are very nice.Riding techniques,skills,bike test
I became a fan of Mototrek because of the skills and tips for x type of riding. I love those! But then again, I love all of your content too!
Rather than specific gear reviews I’d like to see overall gear videos. Example…boot types and what is recommended for each type of place (eg, full mx boots for off road riding vs adv style boots for lite riding.

Thanks for great content!
Safety, skills, specially for newbies
Lots of great suggestions already. Would love to see your take on the Tuareg 660
detailed suspension setup for Norden Expedition! the whys and whats of suspension setup.
I bought as slightly used 2022 Moto Guzzi V85TT as my first adventure bike. I’d like to know your thoughts on modulating a DRY clutch in slow-speed and/or technical maneuvers. This would apply to older GS’s as well. Do you treat a dry clutch the same as you’d treat a wet clutch?

With practical exercises which help to improve particular skill, and highlight of common mistakes which beginners usually do on that exercises. There are similar good videos on your channel, in which you explain in details how to hold the bar, grip technique or body position etc. It very helpful because if you are beginner, you usually dont pay attention on such details. And more more more practical exercises to train and polish skills
How to include one's partner (in my case, wife) on holiday with a big bike (GS) and do some offroad paths. What can be done? What is definitely off the table 2-up? What is safe, what is not safe?
Honda NC750X DCT as a adventure bike build budget. I know, that it is 100% road bike now, but it was "15% enduro" in the past... and may be there are aftermarket kits that can help to build the NC750X Adventure.
Riding steep uphill / downhill, how to stand/sit/act/react. Thanks guys
Optimal tire tread for expeditions with various conditions.
I want to see you guys take the Africa Twin DCT out and give some off road tips on riding that beast!
I am going to say on trail repairs and tool kits / camping tips well adv riding
I want to start riding, but I have no idea what a minimum garage setup should be. How should I store my bike -especially if there isn’t enough garage space. What expenses do I not know about? What service could/should you do yourself?
Right bike for the right person. Especially the size.
I like gear reviews, but more when it's a whole kit review. Like the setup for a 3 night trip vs 8 night trip. Riding technique is also great. Dusty's common sense approach to explaining things make this channel a go to for me.
Some cool bike adventure stories
I would like to see more videos using thumpers - much easier riding twins or bigger when you have instant power and instant throttle response …. Twist the throttle on a thumper and you can hear it wind up and ……. eventually the “power” comes on - how do you jump logs (obstacles) with that ??
Motorcycle maintenance. Off, and on, the road.
I have a 23 r1250gsa. Love it.. I'm debating getting a 701 husky to add to my bikes to get better at riding off-road and in the sand at the NJ pinelands. What say you on that approach..
