2019 Honda CRF450L

Re: Post pics or video from your ride today

The rock ledge at the end does not look like much in the video until you put your front wheel up on it. Then we realize how gnarly that is!

If I had some trails close by I would so want a trials bike.

Re: 10th Manhattan fun ride, October 7th

I plan to come, and bringing my daughter with her Honda 110. A friend has offered to let us borrow his Yamaha 110. I will bring it if someone speaks up to say they would use it.

Re: 10th Manhattan fun ride, October 7th

Now the only question is...will my old 1999 KTM 300EXC be ready to ride by then?! It is currently going through a metamorphosis at an undisclosed location. :-o 8-)

...and Luc? Is your little girl riding already?! Holy smokes!

Re: Standing on the Foot Pegs on the Street

If you're staining on your pegs you can shift your weight back much quicker in an emergency breaking condition whether on gravel or blacktop. That will stop you faster and possible keep you from being tossed over you handlebars. Again an advantage over sitting. I think I disagree with this. I love ...

Re: Fri-Sun Sep 14-16 | 2018 CMA Roads & Trails Rally

I know it's difficult to postpone an event because the ripple effect is unknown. But, that...

Re: Rampart Range

I watched the whole video--EXCELLENT! What a great single-track, and combined with the scenery and weather, fantastic. I've ridden in CO a lot, but actually never at Rampart Range. I'll have to get out there. 1. THANKS for sharing! 2. THANKS for letting us hear the motorcycles rather than some annoy...

Standing on the Foot Pegs on the Street

If you've ever been in a debate about when it makes sense to stand on the pegs, I found myself agreeing with the logic in this article. http://magazine.americanmotorcyclist.com/5758/standing-on-foot-pegs-on-the-street/ I stand on the pegs off-pavement for all the reasons described in the article.
