📍Wichita, Kansas Shamrock Tour®

Beef. It’s not only what’s for dinner, but the fuel this country was built with. The infant U.S. was a land of wide-open, grassy prairies that could be filled with grazing cattle to feed the burgeoning urban population. Although the great cattle drives took place for a mere 17 years, they became an element of the American national identity. Due to the century and a half separating us, the cowboys and lawmen of the past are part history, part dime novel pulp, and part celluloid. To begin to distinguish reality from fiction, you need to go to Kansas.

Wichita serves as the ideal headquarters for a cattle trail Shamrock Tour®. Not only was it a historical stop along cattle drives, but modern Wichita is also the state’s largest city and its de facto transportation, cultural, and industrial hub. Our tour begins in Wichita’s Old Cowtown, an open-air living history museum with 54 artifact-filled buildings spread over 23 acres.

2026 Big ADV Motorcycle Comparison

Large dual sports offer the broadest use range and perform exceptionally well almost anywhere. If you have the budget, skills, fitness, and strength, these studded superbikes can take you deep into the bush and onto the single tracks.

In everyday life, though, most owners care about one thing above all: how well the bike works for travel and touring. That is where this comparison puts its main focus. All the test bikes were fitted with the Bridgestone Battlax Adventure AT 41 tire for the road test, while the Bridgestone Adventure Cross AX41 tires were mounted for the off-road portion of the shootout.

2026 BMW R 1300 RT

It’s for those who want 145 horsepower and heated grips. For those who want to drag a knee, fully loaded with luggage and pillion. BMW set out to redefine sport-touring with the release of the 2026 R 1300 RT.

This year, “RT” stands for “refine things,” as BMW decided to see how far it could improve the bike in either direction. With refinement often comes compromise. Is that the case here?

📍Arizona: Desert Ice

Having cold but clear and sunny weather in Sedona was ideal, but the memory of the freezing and dangerous ride on the first day was still fresh. So, our plans again evolved based on predictions that yet another storm would dump snow on our path toward Prescott. Rather than ride around the storm, we arranged for a U-Haul truck to be waiting for us in Prescott the following afternoon, in which the bikes would be transported through the anticipated snow.
