I rode my ZX-11 in to work this morning. When I first got on it at Ogre Ranch, my knees protested, but when I hit the highway, I didn’t care. It felt so good to be on the Ninja again… It was like being born again. Of course, I always feel that way when …
Hit Red Cloud Loop, just North of Vernal. I was looking for an alleged Ghost Town that is up there someplace. I didn’t find it, but I think I know where it is now, and will hit it next weekend. I didn’t get to do a lot of pictures because I was White Knuckling the …
This nails it for me. Watch this… And this one… This captures something inside me like nothing else… Screaming Warp Speed is fun. But this is a Lifetime thing. I could spend the rest of my life doing this. Adventure Touring. Looking at all the options out there, there are many great ones. The Triumph …
Do to the requirement of attending our monthly team meeting at the Range today, I opted to ride the KTM. The Range is not Sport Bike Friendly. Not at all. It’s not even Car Friendly. It’s 4X4 friendly for sure… So the KTM went to work with me. I like it. Due to the use …
I hate it when my Wife is Right. Grrr… This morning, she said, “You shouldn’t ride, I’ll give you a lift in.” Oh no… I’m big tough biker… I can ride!!! *Beats Chest* Let me back up and give you some background here. Saturday night my right knee really starting hurting. Sunday morning, I woke …
Been Lurking over on http://advrider.com and looking at the photos in the PIC section. Addicting stuff. Very addicting stuff. One thing I’ve noticed are the Sport Bikes with All Terrain Tires. Interesting. Very interesting. Then there are the SUPERMOTO bikes. Dirtbikes with Street Tires. Dirt on Street… Street on Dirt… Is this motorcycling’s version of being gay?
Went for a ride on the KTM… this time I went and hit dirt. About five miles on sand, dirt, gravel, and rocks. I have to be honest, this was absolutely horrifying. It was the scariest thing I’ve ever done. No, seriously… out of everything I’ve ever done – this was the scariest. I got …
I’ve wanted an Enduro for years. And I’ve wanted a second bike to add to the Ogre Ranch Stables. Finally brought it home. It’s a KTM 525 MXC… I’ve probably mentioned it before. Well, the deal is done and the bike is mine now. The bike is in brand new – seriously, like it’s never …
I read an article in Motorcyclist Magazine last month that I wanted to share. It’s finally come up on their Web Site. This captures the feeling that I have not been able to communicated. The article is called “It can take you there.” by Joe Gresh. The last few paragraphs are the juice. It was …
Riding a motorcycle makes one contemplate mortality, as I hold it on my own hands… I am more aware of it. Every time I fire up the engine, I know it could be my last time. I say a little prayer… Asking that I have a good ride, and if it be my last, that …
