This Is How Much ADV Riding Cost Me This Year... OH BOY!

In this video, I stop guessing and break down exactly what I spent on ADV riding this season — no sponsors, no fluff, just real numbers from a real rider. I split everything into 5 clear categories so you can see where the money actually goes: maintenance & parts, gear, fuel, food & travel, and the other random costs that add up fast. This isn’t about flexing or complaining. Adventure riding isn’t cheap, but it also isn’t as insane as people think when you compare it to other hobbies. The goal here is to give you a realistic picture so you can decide what kind of riding you want to do — and what it might actually cost. If you’re thinking about getting into ADV riding, budgeting for next season, or you’re just curious where the money really goes, this one’s for you. Get lost. Find yourself.
