Winter Motorcycle Riding Tips - WHO CARES?

Does the world need yet another article on winter motorcycle riding? I say NO! As I sat writing a post on riding your motorcycle through the winter months I began to wonder "what would it really accomplish"? For a large number of riders across the south winter riding is nothing unusual. In fact, growing up riding in Florida it was one of the best times to ride, it was cool(er). For another large number of riders across the north winterizing and storing the bike is the sensible option. No n ...Read More

Ulanzi V2 Vlogging Case for GoPro

How many times have you suffered through a GoPro video online that's overwhelmed with loud and distracting wind noise? They are really hard to watch. You can turn off the audio on your GoPro when recording or mute the audio from the captured video, but you really lose the feel for the experience, the sounds of the bike engine, the sense of movement, the atmosphere that makes for a good video. You've probably also enjoyed videos narrated from the bike while riding. Again, you can dub in narr ...Read More

Ride Report: 404 miles on a DR650SE out and back to the Maryland panhandle with the best of friends.

The original plan had been to lead Duncan and Bruce down to the area where I had accompanied Wayne, of America Rides Maps, as he scouted routes for his new Virginia and West Virginia maps. Those roads were nuts. But due to circumstances well out of our collective control, a multi-day trip this year isn't in the cards. We had gone on a short-ish ride in the damp and cold on Saturday. I hadn't slept the night before so was absolutely stupid tired. Nevertheless, it was a good ride but the weath ...Read More

I used to think I knew good roads.

I've been riding motorcycles for quite a while as have a number of my friends. In our little circle, I'm often known as the "one who knows the good roads." As soon as I got my license as a teenager, I would wander off in search of good roads to ride. I would stumble across them here and there. Once I found one, I would always return to it especially if I was guiding friends. Who wants to take the risk and lead your friends into heavy traffic, a stoplight nightmare, or some suburban hell or de ...Read More

Monday Night - Arrival

The drone up the interstates was uneventful. Warm and dry.  I exited I-81 when I hit the traffic coming in to Roanoke. Heading west on US 311 I quickly found my way to new backroads. The first was decent, but of the half dozen I looked at only two will make the maps and then just as good connector roads.  My plans to continue working my way north on virgin turf changed when I crested a hill and viewed the apocalypse rainstorm rushing my way. I dogged it back to US 220 and lost the race ...Read More
