What we do
Dust and Rust Moto Adventure is responsible for your health and well being.
"But motorcycling is dangerous!", you say? Exactly!
Classes:
A rider's well being depends greatly upon that rider being prepared for what lies ahead. We'll train you that when these surprise scenarios come up, you won't have time to think- you'll have to react! Prior training isn't 100% mandatory to have an amazing time in the wilderness but as we all know, luck favors the prepared. That brings us to the health portion of "health and well being".
Dust and Rust will train you to handle dangerous dirt (and sand, mud, rock gardens, jumps, bails, etc.) so you can feel prepared and confident in your abilities to keep the rubber side down. Think of how much more you'll get to unwind on that upcoming trip if you're not stressing about how you'll do when those sudden pop quizzes arise. Broken bones and bikes in the backcountry can be avoided. With our help, you'll come out in better health on the other side, and with better stories to tell.
See the "Classes" tab for further information on individual groups and instruction breakdown. See the "Calendar" tab to schedule taking your health and well being to the next level. Most importantly, sign up for our newsletter to get special info on flash classes that aren't on the website!
Tours:
Tired of supporting the stereotype of that scratch-free adventure bike parked at the coffee shop? Come ride with us and put some character into that machine and into yourself! All of the photos on this site were taken in Colorado and its surrounding states. These places, though wild, unique and filled with history, are also EXTREMELY unforgiving. If you've never seen these thousands of miles of dirt track, trails and forest roads, let Dust and Rust help you skip the boring byways and show you some of our favorite places. Unlike some moto tour companies, we offer various levels of accoutrements for multiple skill and financial investment levels. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter to see the special trips that aren't on our usual menu!
