Taylor interviews Konrad Flemk in the Everyday Adventurer segment. Konrad is a Swede living in Jupiter, Florida where he can be found on his HD Fatboy cruising A1A. In this conversation, he talked about riding scooters in Sweden as a kind and in March 2023 he went on an adventure in Medellín Columbia. Konrad rented a DR650 which turned out that the thumper was the perfect bike for his ADV trip. They discuss planning a foreign trip from home and how those efforts turn into real adventure. Taylor and Konrad discuss the often erroneous security and corrupt policing concerns about solo moto-travel to Medellín Columbia. The 2023 trip was such a success that Konrad and his brother returned for another trip on October 24’. Konrad talks about his plans to meet up with his brother down South in the near future.

The ADV Himalayas Motorcycle Tour in India takes you to the Tibetan Plateau and the highest motorable pass, Umling La, which stands at 19,300 feet (5,882 meters). The journey begins with a flight into Srinagar via Delhi, followed by a few days in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). During this stay, you'll have the opportunity to experience the unique charm of a houseboat on Dal Lake, a destination that has recently reopened to tourism after years of conflict between Pakistan and India.
