Riding instructor, Chris Birch, or you may know him as the KTM 1190 guy, is one of those off-road riders.

Two-Up Around the World on a KTM - Tim and Marisa Notier

Not According to Plan - Francis Walsh

Sometimes even the best laid plans for adventure can change or fall apart, and while that might be a worrisome thought for some people, it can actually add to the adventure or change things in ways that might surprise you. In 2017, five friends riding five KTMs left for a five month trip with a plan to ride from London, England to Seoul, South Korea, but it wasn’t long before things were not going as planned. And even though the trip plans went awry, and they faced some unexpected events and challenges, Francis Walsh came away with the amazing attitude that adventure really starts when things fall apart.
