Shane Watts DirtWise School May 21 & 22, 2011 According to the latest DirtWise newsletter I just received, Shane still has 2 slots open for the class this weekend. The class is in Warrensburg, MO. A few of us attended last year, and all of us felt it was very, very worthwhile. If you want to improve...

Commuting on a motorcycle is only green when compared to people driving 1-up in cars. If folks would carpool or use public transit, it would be more efficient than motorcycles. I came to that realization when on a multi-day ride with 5 riders. I was thinking to myself how I was glad my Vstrom gets 5...

Any follow-up regarding this ride?

The 16th started off a tad chilly, but was soon PERFECT riding weather! Good to feel the 450 between the legs.

Looking for a movie to watch via Netflix Streaming, I came across One Week . It's a quirky independent film, and I enjoyed it. http://cdn-6.nflximg.com/en_US/boxshots/gsd/70107136.jpg Joshua Jackson stars in this bittersweet odyssey as Ben, a young man who's just received news of his terminal illnes...

Yes!

I have a bit of freedom this weekend. I've got plenty of crap to do, but would love to get out for a day on either the dirtbike or Vstrom. Anybody got a mini-adventure planned?

I seemed to have picked up a little poison ivy while I was there. Something to bring home! Must have been some vines on the trails or maybe I got it when I rolled around on the ground on that big downhill. Glad you made it home safe! Only 26 hours of driving for 4 hours of riding! Sounds like a goo...

Wore myself out on the trails! Great day!

Stu & Terry (others?), how was the racing? We tried to spectate a little, but the trails kept calling us back to the West side.

Thanks guys,
I'll try to call troy while I'm driving tomorrow or you can call me when it's best for you.

Later,
Mike

I have an extra. Will bring it.

Sunday it is. Slim, let us know of any gear you need to borrow. Let's ride!

Thanks, guys! So here is where I'm at....sounds like Sat or Sun, I can expect a few more riders than normal. Sat or Sun, I should stay off the East side. Sun lets me see Slimtrader and also allows Safiri to go--maybe others. It also lets me see you guys race maybe and see the race experience. So Sun...

All, I and some others were planning to ride School Creek tomorrow (Sat) because weather forecast looked to be yucky on Sunday. However, now the Sunday forecast looks downright hot and sunny. So question for you racers....will the School Creek riding area be open for recreational use both Sat and Su...

That is a great video. Now where are my kleenex...

I'm driving down turnpike in Flint Hills right now. The prairies are ablaze! Great time to ride.

Well, the first issue has launched! I've not received mine yet, but they say they mailed them this week. I did get my promised T-Shirt 2 weeks ago. The first issue looks exciting. Here's a recap of some of the stories inside the premiere release: Into Africa Everything Was Beautiful. And Nothing Hur...

I just renewed my AMA membership, and was reading the many discounts available to members. One was for a discount on a Flash2Pass garage door opener. I love this idea and would like to get one for my street bike. Cool, simple tech.

I took the 2010 class as well, and it was very good--well worth the time and money. If I still have an appropriate motorcycle at that time, I want in. So please put me on the notify list.

I watched the entire video and looked at the stats pages. Very well put together, but I felt the overall message was kind of anti-motorcycle. I mean, obviously the people they interviewed love riding, but I kind of left the video thinking, "Wow. I don't want the problems and sadness these people hav...

If I ever get out from under the 6 feet of snow I've seen this week in Truckee, CA, so I can return home, I'll send my file and tell you exactly how long Blue Loop will take. Above avg rider on KLR can do it, but it is gnarly for that heavy a machine. Last fall, what was difficult was the lack of tr...
