Dirt Bike Channel PodcastEp 113 - Maintenance Items I WON'T Do and the Ones I WILL DoLet's have a chat about maintenance items. Nobody tells you that if you want to ride dirt bikes you need to also become a mechanic at at least some level, but it's true. The more things you can do at home in your garage, the more you will ride, the more money you will save, and the better your overall experience is going to be. But there are some things that I won't (or just don't often) do at home. Hope you enjoy.

Dirt Bike Channel PodcastEp 90. Riding ALONE?? Are You Crazy? Yes and NoIf I had a nickel for every time someone asked me about riding alone, I'd have more nickels than the average person. The truth is that I ride alone all the time. I take precautions to mitigate risk, but at the end of the day, we are always managing risks with everything we do. For me, the benefits outweigh the risks because I get recharged when I'm in solitude in the mountains or desert in a way that I don't get when I'm in a group of people. When I'm alone, I feel things differently. I see thing...2021-08-2421 min
