Day Tripping with the Ducati Multistrada S and Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX – RideApart


We absolutely LOVE the videos these guy put out…they are real…funny and true reviews.  They just tell it the way it is….and this video is no different!  Long but totally worth watching it all….enjoy their reality approach to motorcycle reviews ADV style!

What’s it like to go on a date with pampered Italian models into the wilderness? Grant Ray, Jamie Robinson and Wes Siler ride the best mountain roads of the Los Padres forest on the Ducati Multistrada S and Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX adventure bikes to find out. For more on motorcycles, check outhttp://hellforleathermagazine.com  They must have the link not able to be embedded into a post.  You have to go to YouTube to watch it by clicking on the link below.  *****FIX the link and now I got the player in the POST!****

The Crash or Dump or Fall……


Not sure what to call this….I guess a crash 😉  More pics and video to come from today’s Newbie Dual Sport BC Spring Ride….it was awesome.  No damage to me, Leslie or the bike!

KONY 2012


Thought we would do our part and share this video to help spread the word.  Thanks Dave one of our Blog readers for reminding me this should be posted on our Blog and FB pages.  It’s long but well worth viewing the entire video.  Learn the history of this amazing man who made the video and about the disgusting acts of KONY!

KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

Would we have taken our BMW’s to Alaska!???


Of course we would have taken these BIKES up North! Wouldn't you? 😉 CLICK ME and MAKE ME BIGGER!

 

Just a quick post after receiving many private messages and emails asking if we would have taken our 2010 BMW F650GS bikes on the same trip we did on the Triumph Tiger 800’s last summer.  Our answer is YES…totally.  Our Beemers would have easily made the trip through BC, the Yukon and Alaska.  We would have never have thought twice about riding up there with our own bikes.  I was asked then ‘why didn’t you ride your own bikes?”  Hmmmmmmmmmmm…..the answer is simple…Triumph gave us two new adventure bikes to ride on a very long demo…why would we NOT ride Triumph’s bikes, put the mileage on them and get to test ride another model?  Not sure why I was asked that question but if any other company came to us and said “hey, you want to take our bikes for a ride?”  I would answer yes yet again.

The Triumph Tiger 800XC with the Triumph gel seat no doubt is more comfortable on the street and more comfortable in general riding long distances in the saddle.  Having said that anyone who might be looking to buy either the F650GS, F800GS or the Triumph 800….you will love any of these bikes and they will take you as far as your imagination can go….so enjoy ADV riding…it’s the best way to LIVE!

2012 Critical Care Conference – Whistler, BC


February 22nd, 2012 (ALL PICS ARE CLICK-ABLE)

My continuing story and journey training to learn the part of an organ Donation Specialist which in turn I also will learn to be an In Hospital Organ Donation Coordinator.  Part of the training is networking, traveling to shadow other coordinators and meet colleagues in the industry.  I know tough life but it’s not as easy as it looks. The below video I just think is so appropriate in more ways than one.

ADV-Touring Comparison – BMW 1200GS, KTM & Yamaha


You be the judge….is this a good review of the three BIG ADV bikes out there?  No Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200?  I guess we will have to wait for that review later.
