Welcome to Episode 5... We're back, still reeling from our weekend together riding the Brammo Empulse R and the KTM Duke 690...On the table for this week's podcast are upcoming events, adventure bike discussion/listener questions, basic bike maintenance, and gear discussion. We sway more toward adventure riding this time out, talking about the Long Way Round boys and Cristi's selection of her own "adventure" bike in Quito...
