Redbull Straight Rhythm Racing

Stumbled onto this in my YouTube recommended videos. I had not heard of it. https://youtu.be/iZGeSJd_y9E?t=323 As someone not capable of jumping his motorcycle even 8 feet or more than 3 feet off any surface, it blows my mind the precision it seems you have to have not to die doing these jumps. Comi...

Re: Smokey Hill River Trip

I always learn a ton of stuff when I ride with Eddie. If there is something interesting to see, Eddie knows about it, has been before, and loves sharing it with others. I'll try not to repeat much or overlap photos from what the others have said. One of our first interesting stops was the quirky tow...

Re: troy.adv on Instagram

Quick follow-up. I have been using a paid SmugMug account for a few months now, and it could not be better. They make it VERY easy to get photos into the system, access your photos, share your photos, and link to them or embed them in every way possible. More recently I installed the Android phone a...

Re: Smokey Hill River Trip

One of the very cool places we hoped to get a view of is "Little Jerusalem". This is an area about a mile long with the most impressive limestone structures in Kansas. It was all on private land and not really visible from roads, but the KS Conservation Society purchased it and will open it as a Sta...

Re: bsp March 10 get together

Potential dates for the Get together. 6th and 7th August 20th and 21st August Please reply to this message, NOT to me as all can see this. What a curious post. First, it is posted in a thread where the last message is over 2 years old. Then it is posted on Sep 10 but proposes August dates for some ...

DirtyOldMan & Ramkas, GLAD you guys enjoyed the track! The 2 riders you encountered were none other than our own Luc (gagnaou) and the famous Bill Congers , who will compete in the 2018 Dakar. He also competed in 2012 I think. Together with Luc & Bill and many others, I was attending the fantastic T...

Re: TC to KC BBQ Run V

Daryl & I are riding down together in the morning starting with breakfast at a First Watch about 8:30. I have a 95 mile track that should be interesting enough to enjoy a lazy dualsport down to the McLiney Ranch. Anyone who is signed up and would like to join us, just post here or contact me @ troy ...

The Outdoor Inspiration Cabins that Ed points out are the only cabins near Chadwick that I'm aware of. Joel has 2 nice, small cabins that sleep 4 each, although one is setup with bunk beds and a full...so 3 guys unless you are cozy. Bathroom, shower, coffee pot, microwave, mini fridge, BBQ grill wit...

Re: Bird Farm Trail ride Sept. 23

:-D Rachel and I had a great time! Thanks Larry & Dena! Thanks also to all those who came to make it a fun, family event. So cool to see all those kids buzzing around on 50's, 65's, 110's, and even a vintage RM80 (LOUD!). Thanks to Mike & Luc (and anyone else who does) for sharing photos and videos....

I have attached the sanitized follow-up track for others to go ride! The GPX file is attached to this post. The file includes a few helpful POI. The track is < 500 points so it will load on even older GPS units. You can view the route here in RideWithGPS.com. This is the browser-based tool I use to ...

Re: Sat Sep 2, 2017 | Osage County Dualsport

What a GREAT ride Larry & I had! The track I slapped together the night before turned out SO good--much better than I expected. I found a ton of min maint roads and was able to string them together so that we were never riding long before hitting another rough, grassy 2-track or even bush-whacking t...
