    Welcome again to Photos of the Week. We begin with a number of shots from @Donbrom, who was riding in the Svaneti region of northern Georgia earlier this week. Our Featured Photo shows a group of stone villages and defensive towers that are sure to catch the eye. Our submitter was riding a rental bike, and we’ll let him tell you about it below. These photos were taken this week in the Svaneti Region of northern Georgia. I hired a baby Kato from Patric at Onward Motorcycle Tours in Tbilisi.

    Once again we present Photos of the Week, and we begin today with something that we didn’t expect to see. Although we do keep an eye out for farmers on motorcycles as a matter of course (we’re really just anxious to see what ATGATT means to an agriculturist), we didn’t expect to be so callously advised to do it.

    Hello, ADVrider-readers, and welcome. Here’s another set of photos submitted by our loyal correspondents, and if not loyal, at least generous, which is all we need. We begin with a Featured Photo that caught my eye right off the bat. Submitted by @Peter640, it’s a shot taken “somewhere up in the Highlands of Iceland in 2019, as my bike made its journey across from the Canadian Arctic Circle to the European Arctic Circle.

    Hello and welcome to another week of photos from our adventurer-contributors. We begin with a Featured Photo from @Coloradogoose, who parked his 2024 Royal Enfield Bear 650 next to a “still frozen Strawberry Reservoir in Utah, south of Heber City,” a few weeks ago. Something about the last vestiges of a Utah winter hanging on made us want to honor this image. Just bear with usHere’s another shot of a bear, but this one’s a little more intimidating, though maybe not dangerous.
