Did they miss your favorite in this list?

Thanks, OHjim. Yeah, it's possible, just not convenient nor supported by Instagram--meaning that link could quit working down the road. (I hit F12 and use the developer tool to get the image URL.) The more I've thought about it, paying the small annual fee for Smugmug probably makes most sense for m...

Did you guys ride? Sunday was terrible muggy at my house, but it's always nice moving on the bike.

SmugMug is probably a great choice, but it's not free...not that EVERYTHING has to be free if you receive value from it. Luc, if you are reading this--I know you use SmugMug. Do you use the app on your phone?

I don't want to hijack this thread---go ride this weekend and invite Dave!

...but, I hope to do more of a full ride report with tracks. You can read a bit more about my last week here:

RE: https://www.instagram.com/troy.adv/ Follow-up regarding my "Instagram experiment". Instagram turned out to be a really easy, convenient way to share photos with family "live" during the adventure. More than once I went almost 24 hours without any cell coverage, so "live" meant as soon as I had e...

No riding this weekend for me, unfortunately. We are participating in our neighborhood garage sale event this Fri & Sat, and I envision Sun may be filled with cleanup efforts. Good thing I just finished 1,750 miles of rough roads in CO, NM, & UT! I NEEDED that! If any of you are looking for an amazi...

Did anyone here go do this ride? I heard it went well.

Sean loved how the Africa Twin performed! I got to ride it on some rough stuff, and it is very nice. That automatic transmission is butter smooth and shifts a lot faster than a normal transmission. When we encountered a closed forest road on the UTBDR, rather than back-track and re-route many, many ...

Thanks for sharing! Glad you got out there on the bike.

I don't know much about Instagram, but I created an account as an experiment to see if I like it for easily sharing adventure photos. Sean and I are on a 7 to 9 day ADV in NM, CO, hopefully UT. Started in KS this morning and rode a bit of OK, too. Mostly on TAT so far, but that is not our plan for t...

In blood as I recall.

If you live in the Kansas City metro and own an ADV motorcycle, you gotta be ready to travel a bit to use the thing. There is a reason ADVRider.com does not have a big, active thread about adventure riding IN Kansas City! :lol: Neither do the various dualsport map archives feature many routes in Kan...

Could see more KC area riders joining the fun if the nearest starting point wasn't 3 hours away. Sounds like a cool idea, I hope it is a big success. I don't really understand this objection. Your starting point is wherever you get on your bike and start riding. I could create a dualsport route fro...

With my wife's blessing this Mother's Day, I went down to Adrian, MO to watch Midwest MX Championship Series this morning with my brother-in-law and his buddy. http://midwestmx.com/ It's a really great track setup. I enjoy watching the little guys on the 65s. It's always a group of kids safely rolli...

Oh man....April 8 & 9 came and went....and I forgot about the trials event. I also realize I failed to put it on the calendar, which is my only hope of remember most things.

Did anyone go see the trials guys do their thing?

Oh my gosh. I'm not trained in that stuff at all, but I know not to rip out the 2" diameter stick that has punctured your body and surely ripped arteries open. Once in, it's the only thing plugging the hole and keeping you alive. Of course adrenaline in the moment can account for all kinds of stupid...

Very cool! Love the drone footage, too!

You would have even more interest if it did not coincide with your 2017 TC to KC BBQ Run!

I added Adventure Palooza to the calendar.

A good friend sent this to me today. We had a power cut at our house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, iPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Then I discovered that my mobile phone battery was dead and to top it off it was raining outside, so I couldn’t play golf. I w...
