Met some folks at Blip Roasters in the West Bottoms a few weeks ago. It's a cool, motorcycle-themed coffee shop. http://www.bliproasters.com/ 9:30 AM every Sunday is the Blip Sunday Meetup. Folks have started calling it "Blip Sunday Church". This video shows the heart behind the store. https://youtu...

I love this video. This guy probably saved her life by blocking traffic so she could get her motorcycle out of the middle of the freeway.

I'll have to check this out again.. I know when I looked at it a couple years ago, I found it lacking. Thanks!

Beautiful bike for sure. Looks like a ton of fun! Glad you got it out for a real test ride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jhbHGJKJuQ OMG...carry what appears to be a very bulky package weighing 10+ lbs so that you can use 2 people to pull a motorcycle up an obstacle? All I can say is I've been riding a lot of years and in some hairy situations and have never needed this. If you can't p...

Idaho is on my bucket list. The Idaho BDR has to be some good stuff! https://ridebdr.com/IDBDR As for laptop, Creekside is correct, but laptop along for the ride is doable. I rode 5 days of NM BDR and then 8 days through CO, NM, and ID last year with my "throw-away" Lenovo Thinkpad. It's a rough & t...

Sounds like you have good motivation for the journey, and a Spyder would be a real blast!

Looks like a yard sale there, Snowman! It's a great route considering how close to the KC metro. Glad you got out there...what a warm winter day! Weatherman told me it will be back down to 20 with single digit windchill by morning. Ugh.

Great pics, man! Thanks for sharing the adventure!

I agree with savage on the Rekluse and left-hand brake. I love my Rekluse, but I only have it because it came with my used bike. I wouldn't spend the money on it unless you start getting into really gnarly stuff a lot or if you have significant clutch hand & wrist pain. No doubt a Rekluse is amazing...

Really, you should sell your motorcycles. Riding motorcycles is too dangerous. #friendsdontletfriendsride

Lower pressure off-road, of course, provides a traction advantage. The sissies I ride with tend to run 15 or less. I like to keep it closer to 20 in an effort to level the playing field somewhat. I'm that good. 8-) If I was heading out with the 350 for a dualsport that included significant 60MPH pav...

Looked like a perfect day of riding! Love your sweet log ride! Nice skeelz!

The "hook" is that you ride from the center of the 48 states to the center of North America. It's 675 miles. By definition it's a pavement ride unless you are the kind of rider who would "enjoy" a dusty butt 1000 675 miles of straight, mostly flat pavement in the Midwest . "Interesting" is probably ...
