In a celebration to all things adventure motorcycling, and in an attempt to spice up the monotony of the 9 – 5 rat race, I rode a green lane or two on my way into work every day for a week. And let me tell you this. For the past six – or – so years, I've tried all sorts to start the day off right. I've dragged myself out of bed to go to the gym, pulled on my shorts to go for a run, and channelled my inner Buddah with some meditation, but none of these got me set up for the day like green laning to work did.

As an adventure motorcyclist, what could be more challenging than completing the world’s longest roads? We’ve teamed up with Airhawk to bring you a list of roads that have the power to humble many egos but, if completed, offer an unparalleled sense of achievement and momentous rush of adrenaline.

Scandinavia is a true delight that packs a punch when it comes to breathtaking landscapes, coastal islands, and stunning road trip routes. It's a large region of Northern Europe, that is made up of five countries which include; Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. If you love to adventure in vast and rugged wilderness, along hair-raising mountain roads, and stopping to scoff your sarnies by beautiful rivers and lakes, then this biker paradise is sure to have you packing your panniers.

Here at ABR we've teamed up with Swedish motorcycle clothing brand, Jofama, to look at five epic roads to ride in Scandinavia, and damn, they're just begging for you to go and explore them.

When KTM announced the launch of the Super Duke GT, eyebrows were raised. How could the Austrian manufacturer attach the GT moniker (GT meaning Grand Turismo) to a super naked bike which focused on speed, performance and hooliganism? The answer became clear as soon we got chance to ride one: by making it more comfortable, adding a set of panniers, including the technology that makes the 1290 Super Adventure such a phenomenal machine, and bolting a screen onto the front.

Adventure bike this is not (nor does it claim to be), but super fun tourer it is, and if you're heading over to Europe to experience the thrill of the Alpine passes it's an absolute delight. After spending a few weeks with the bike in our garage, I found myself increasingly looking for excuses to go out for a spin, and when out, looking for the bendiest roads I could find. It harnesses the power and handling of a performance bike and bundles it into a sexy package that's a bit less intimidating, but every bit exciting.

You've woken up to the pleasant surprise of a perfect sunny Sunday morning, even though the weather man said there was going to be rain – result! Cue you getting ready as fast as you can because you were just itching to take the bike out for a spin. You've got odd socks on, you've forgotten your wallet and god knows what else, but who cares? You'll only be out for a few hours anyway.

You're out enjoying your ride when the unthinkable happens...

If you're anything like me, then you've got one hell of a messy garage. I'm constantly tripping over crap on the floor, things are piled up here, there and everywhere and where on earth did I put...? Who knows. So as you can imagine, finding my motorbike let alone any of my motorbike gear in this hot mess of a garage, proves somewhat of a challenge for me. Any of this sound familiar to you?

So with that in mind, here at ABR we've teamed up with the folks at BikerTidy to look at six untidy garage problems that all of us messy bikers can relate to, and luckily, they have a few tricks up their sleeve that could help us resolve our problems (and most importantly, keep the peace in our households).

The Ducati Mulistrada 1200 Enduro has had a bit of jazzing up along with a few new spicy extras added to the mix to make the all new Pro version.

Ducati claims that the bike has been designed with riders who want to get out and explore the off-road trails and so, on the new 1200 Enduro Pro version you'll find Pirelli Scorpion™ rally tyres, fitted as standard. These tyres are ideally suited for off the beaten track use, but, will also ensure performance on the roads too.

Great news if you live in the South East of the UK. Twistmoto, a motorcycle travel gear and camping equipment shop, who have been supplying UK adventure bike riders for over three years, has just opened its doors for the first time with a brand new showroom. But fear not, if you don't live locally, you'll be pleased to know that you can still browse and shop (from the comfort of your very own sofa) online and have your items delivered directly to your door. They also offer a cracking free delivery service on all orders over 20 quid.

Well, I guess that’s that then. Today marked the fifth and final day of Green Lane to Work Week, and what a week it has been. Over the past five days we've teamed up with Bennetts insurance, and we’ve ridden a green lane on the way in to work in an attempt to start the day right an inject some adventure into our every day life, and boy has it delivered on both accounts.

Green Lane to Work Week is almost over, and I’m a little bit sad about that. Over the last four days we’ve teamed up with Bennetts to spice up our life on two wheels, and I’ve been getting up earlier to head off in search of a green lane to ride on my morning commute to work. The main benefit, other than the fact that I’m out on the bike, has been that it seems to be the perfect way to start my day, and I’m sure it has been for you guys who have joined us as well.

Over the past week we’ve been looking to add a bit of spice into our every day life by riding a green lane on the way in to work. It’s Ride to Work Week next week (19 - 25 June), but we got together with the guys at Bennetts and thought of a way to ‘adventurize’ the massively popular campaign, and thus Green Lane to Work Week was born.

Yesterday we announced the launch of a new initiative that we’ve introduced with Bennetts. It’s called Green Lane to Work Week, and it is exactly what it says it is - a week in June, this week to be precise (12 - 16 June), where you inject a bit of adventure and excitement into your every day commute. The premise is simple - on your way to work each day get out your OS map and ride a green lane.
