Discovering the unknowns in the unknown relm.
On this channel, you will see ride videos from areas of the Pacific Northwest and across the United States and beyond. We explore back roads and routes to undisclosed locations, we bring you the best of Moto- touring has to offer. We also research the ride areas to expose the rich local history.
Another passion of ours is the research, test, and review of motorcycle equipment and parts. This includes camping gear, riding clothes, tires, and more. We detail install and maintenance videos to help you learn how to apply this to your bike. One thing always helpful is product testing and reviews to help you make the best decision when making that next purchase.

transiting a steel-grated bridge on a motorcycle can create anxiety for riders who have little experience with bridge grating. Probably the worst thought is the feeling of a cheese grater action. Well that fortunately is not reality. Bret Thkacs bridge video. czcams.com/video/5NTtSUfbnQ4/video.html

It's very comfortable to ride. I think for big open highways there's no better bike. Goldwings are known for their lo...

zhlédnutí 17KPřed 2 lety
Motorcycle center stands on big heavy bikes can be intimidating. No one wants to tip over their bike while putting their bike on its center stand. However, it's a simple task. If you know the mechanics behind this simple device, it becomes much less daunting in use. Sorry for sounding nasally. I had a head cold during the time of creating the video
