The road is long and with many a winding turn, apparently. But you don't care how long it is. In fact you're not even bothered if it runs out.
Whatever you trail bike, from BMW's globe-busting R1200GS Adventure to Yamaha's budget XT660R you've already opened a door to a whole new world of motorcycling.
Riding home the long way through the green lanes on a midsummer's night with your mates or packing your bags for a six-month expedition across the lunar landscapes of the western Sahara it matters not. You know that your bike's capabilities will get you there; the rest is down to you and your imagination.
