Kyle shares these photos of his little enduro track and his land so you can see the conditions right now. We'll have some mud, but it looks to be drying out fast. I'm looking forward to a nice day playing on a dirt bike and working on skills. I'm also looking forward to smoking everyone in the compe...

Bob, Kendall, Mike (safiri), and I are just driving up early Sat morning. Figure to be at Kyle's before 10am. We'll play all day--whatever we end up doing, and drive home Sat night. Bob...riding the WR out sounds like a nice day from Topeka. Would have been cool to see your vintage trial bike, thoug...

I'm planning to be there....but it's raining again here in KC. What's the weather doing out in Manhattan?

David,

I'm looking at a 10 acre place a bit S of you. It is just N of Douglas State Fishing Lake---a beautiful area.

I want that manual chainsaw! Never have to worry about mixing gas and carrying fuel with you when you cut wood. Brilliant!

Perfect! They'd love that.

Guys, check out the excellent ride report from bohawk!

That is also my daughter's backyard birthday party...so that day is not good for me, too.

Per Kyle:

CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER

You are welcome! I look forward to seeing some photos and video!

Frankly the whole weekend looks screwed to me. Even my backup plan of heading to Chadwick on Sun does not look promising. Most likely will be raining. At best, a muddy mess from prior rain. I really want to ride, but I'm not sure this weekend is going to work out. I'm not bowing out. I'm willing to ...

An interesting Kickstarter project from a local Kansas Citian.

Cool! Thanks for posting, Andy.

This appears to be a slightly different model than mine--perhaps a newer model, but the specs appear to be identical. I paid $39 + $5 shipping via Woot. I like Newegg--that looks to be a good deal.

Troy.. did you take the video on the water proof Samsung you got off Woot? Yes. I really like that little camcorder/camera. I took it to Mexico and even took video under water in the pool with my daughter--turned out great. Photo quality is not great--colors are a bit muted, but for what it is..I l...

IT'S ALIVE! Nice Frankenstein KLR!

Sounds like the issue is solved...or at least the interval has been greatly increased. Thanks for your help, Scotty!

Darnit! Guys, I am OUT for this weekend. I have family stuff to attend to as it turns out. The weather forecast looks great--you guys are going to have a great time.

To ride the ST you pretty much need to have a smaller bike. Define "smaller bike." I've always defined "small bike" as DRZ400 or smaller/lighter. The rest is skill of course. A DRZ would be considered heavy for some of that Brock Creek singletrack. There are sections in there that are really more e...

http://www.overlandnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/logocolorSMALLERalt6.png I just returned from a week-long family vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. While meandering along the boardwalk in downtown Puerto Vallarta, I spotted 2 loaded, orange BMW GS's (800 & 650) parked outside a restaurant. ...

Here is a route Troy put together about a year ago that is a pretty nice gravel/day ride. http://www.ozarksrider.com/saturday%20ride.jpg That really is a great little ride. It's not very long, but I was surprised how good the roads and scenery were. It includes a couple of sections or 3 that could ...
