    Iron Butt Texas World Capitals 1000 this Friday

    This was a really tough BBG route according to the riders and the guys who put it together. They told us in the rider's meeting that they predicted no one would finish it. Of the 25 who tried only 5 did. So it must have been tough. I saw the GPS of one of the finishers and it showed 109 as a...

    KTM Twins

    I have a 2010 KTM SMT and it's the coolest bike I've ever owned. Lightweight. Fast. Great looking. I pray every time I pull her out of the garage to keep my brain connected to my wrist and remember I'm not 18 anymore! It is a great bike!!! Still can't believe they did away with it. It draws...
