WARNING: Serious geek talk in this next paragraph:
Over a year ago, I "soft-modded" an old XBOX (the original XBOX that can be picked up on craigslist for under $50) and turned it into an XBOX Media Center (http://xbmc.org/). Last night, I installed PlayOn (http://www.playon.tv/playon/) on my Windows computer which allows me to now access YouTube, Hulu.com, Netflix, etc on my TV through my XBOX.

So...this morning I'm watching moto-related YouTube videos and finding some I'll share--nothing fantastic, but if you want to waste some time, enjoy.

First, this one's for my brother, Kyle, because he and I want to load up our Vstroms and do a Grand Canyon moto-camping trip.

A review of the Sherco dirtbike. They seem to love it for most "trail riding" scenarios, however, big air punishes it.

A review of the Beta lineup---KTM engines. I love this video because of the test track they have setup. Check out the telephone pole challenge--no challenge for the test rider apparently.

Keep me in mind if you do that.

I'm ready.

These are a couple videos from when I first got into riding. I got invited down to Chadwick to ride with Quads. I didn't know what a quad was

The other trails are in Lees Summit, back in the woods behind the freeways.

I would really like to shoot some new trail videos but I need a better camera system. Anyone know of something inexpensive?

Are the trails in Lee's Summit still there? If so, how do you get to them? I live in Lee's Summit and it sure would be nice to have a place thats close to go play around off road!

This seems like a nice HD camera setup. I like the fact that is also totally waterproof.

Hmm looks like what I want. Nice.

The Lees Summit trails are behind 470. You can get to them at view high. That should bring up a birds eye view. The dark brown lines are trails..

I wouldn't recommend off roading in Lees Summit. It's not a "sanctioned" riding area. It's a combination of highway and utility easements, park property, private property, and who knows what else. Probably a whole laundry list of violations if you get caught.

If you ever do go, stay wayy out of anything that even resembles private property. My friend and I were in a parking lot once.. ran into a very disgruntled guy! I'll drive 45 mins instead for the peace of mind it gives me.

Thanks for the info. I think I saw part of those trails sometime when zooming by on the highway. I may have to live dangerously one day and sneak in there for a quick ride.

The Brian Adams song brought a tear to my eye.

Just because you ride a cafe racer or drive a rat rod doesn't mean you have to dress like a greaser.
