This is last minute, but if you miss it, you can catch it some time in the future when they replay the series. The Food Network's Alton Brown did a series called "Feasting on Asphalt" in which he and his camera crew ride from the east coast to the west coast on BMW touring bikes and check out "road ...

Are you serious?! Dude, it's 16 degrees....you don't need to prove anything here. We already acknowledge and respect your manliness. BE CAREFUL!

I figured they were not even legallly approved for road use...they don't say that there is any legal issue, but the heat issues don't surprise me. Mike (science dude), you'd probaby love reading their theories of why tires heat up. As for sustained speeds on pavement over 80 MPH---no worries with th...

I definitely LOVE the idea and don't see why they would not work. I've never heard of them before. I've heard of the foam inserts, though. I'm sure there may be some argument about ultimate performance compared to a standard tube--somebody always brings up the 1.87% performance diff. If they mean vi...

Let's coordinate efforts. I have Day 1 already. I'll have Day 3 in 3 hours. Mike what do you have already? I'll give you an account to upload the video to this webserver.

Tim, do I need to come over and give you a personal tire changing seminar?! DRZ with a flat rear tire should not be any more than about a 30 minute hindrance tops! 8) I keep 2 rear and 2 front tubes in the garage and usually carry one of each on rides. I've not ridden since I bent my handlebars to h...

Whoa! Thanks for reminding me! I just set my DVR to record OLN (Channel 55 on Kansas City's Time Warner Cable). OLN has a daily 30 minute Dakar Highlights show. Last year, that was me who posted the videos. It was Australian coverage if I remember correctly--much better than our US coverage. I'll tr...

Yeah....I'm going to ride it all the way out there, too.

I like the custom seat the guy has on his old Rokon.

Check out this ugly little monster!

Apparently, it is very capable in the nasty stuff. Check out this ride report over at AdvRider.

Very sexy. I like that Tre-K. Are the front turn signals built into the mirrors? That is cool and I like the space savings and "simplicity" of it....but I'd be breaking those darn things too often....kaching! Every time I see an adventure bike with a low front fender I wonder how many people get thr...

Thanks for posting this, Dave. Unfortunately, I'll not be able to make the ride. Work keeps interrupting my life!

One thing I do know--I've not met an OK or TX dualsport rider yet that I did not enjoy riding with. They grow some good people down there.

Normally I'd be all over riding at Milford, but I'll be out of town for the New Year's weekend. Looks like we may have rain, but I hope you get to ride! Right now, I've not ridden in over 3 weeks...I'm having withdrawal.

The Enduro at Erzberg is amazing. I watched last year's coverage. Makes me put my own riding and what I consider "difficult" into perspective. Thanks for the video link!

That looks like a good ride! So many rides, only so much time.

Also, anybody who buys any multi-cdrom Mapsource product may appreciate this tip -- you can copy the cdrom content to your harddrive, then install from your harddrive. This way, you never have to use the CDROMS/DVDs. Us midwest people really appreciate this because you'll find the TOPO maps are spli...
