I may be old fashioned but back then as now I called it touring on a motorbike. Is this not all it is. Add all the bolt on bits the buzzy lingo whatever really its just touring - maybe off the beaten track a bit but touring all the same.
So I propose we could call it Motorcycle touring - quite gritty don't you think.

Back in my younger days, I was heavily into downhill skiing. Would miss maybe 10 days in the season. Back then, where we were going and what we were doing, we just called it 'skiing'. It's just what we did.
Now I see it on tv, and they call it 'EXTREME SKIING!!!'. Guess it's important in this 'hey, look at me' society that is going on in the western world. Twitter is a prime example of this, I think...telling the world that you're going for groceries.
I don't get it myself, so I just say: 'I'm going riding'.
