- Our first Wayne National Forest Trail Ride finally came together and we had such a great time. We rode the Monday Creek area (which has approximately 75 miles of trails), not far from Athens, Ohio. Before the ride I watched videos online and read reviews to try and understand the layout and the trails but, really, you just have to go there, get your trail permit and map from a local vendor, and head to one of the trail heads. Every one we met was extremely helpful and helped to point us in the right direction. Definitely a highlight of the year!

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.
I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on CZcams.
Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!

I’m always here for some good off roading vids.
Taking 2 TWs and a Royal Enfield down next week, and riding from October 19th thru the 2nd...weather looks good...keeping my fingers crossed...
Just grabbed a DRZ400 so I'd love to be along sometime. It's about 2.5 hours from me is all.
Love your videos keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Hey jimmy, recently discovered your channel. Your videos are awesome, i have been devouring them on the past few weeks haha. Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina
Looks like an awesome time Jimmy! Hopefully I can make it next time.
We're counting on it, Jim! Glad you're back on the bike, we'll ride soon.
Probably an optical illusion but your handlebars seem like they are narrower than most . Except for the mud ( I really dislike mud ) that seems to be a real nice area to ride instead of the rock gardens we have here in Northeast Pa. Thinking of bringing my bike out to Ohio next trip to the grandkids near Chardon, Ohio.
looked like a fun trail mate , not to hard so have more time to just have fun 😁👌
keep well Sir and stay safe 😉🍺
Yeah, it was a great time and easy enough for everyone in the group. I really love the technical trails but some of my mates are novices and the tough stuff makes for really slow going. This allowed us to keep riding and not spend most of the day picking up motorcycles. Cheers! :)
Nice man! I met ya'll at the fire tower yesterday. Hope your ride was kick ass!
Hey, park junkie, great meeting you, too! Thanks for taking the fire tower pic for us. Stay in touch if you ever want a group to ride with while you're in Ohio.
Love the content Jimmy! I recently picked up a ‘06 XT225 with 2,500 miles. Loving it so far! Only problem is it seems very cold blooded! Hard to get her to idle after cold starting, I’m afraid of using too much choke. Before you backed out the fuel screw 2.5 - 3 turns how long would you give it choke to get it warmed up from being cold? Is leaving the choke fully up for 2-3 mins, reducing to half way for another 2-3 mins bad for the bike?
Also some backfire when decelerating. What’s the best way to avoid or fix the lean issue? I know they came lean from factory to meet emissions requirements. What should I do Jimmy? Thanks!
Wish I could have made it !!
Hey, we missed you, Bronson! It was a fun ride for our group, everyone enjoyed the flow and we got in a nice long ride each day.
liked the music, but I would much rather hear the music of the motorcycls
I hear ya. On that day I didn't go to the trouble of plugging in the extra mic so it was just the stock GoPro mic and crackling wind noise at anything over 10 mph. I'll make more of an effort to rig the extra mic next time.
