SoCal’s LD Riders Last Ride Of the Year Saturday Dec 27, Old Town Orcutt, CA It's hard to imagine why, butt, a third of LD riders live where it's frozen solid. Their motors have been "winterized" (a very scary word). It's a process akin to embalming where fluids are changed and the life force...

There are a small number of folks who ordered Hard Miles 2 who are experiencing digital "noise" or "scramble" in Chapters 22 & 23. Some are freezing at the "Davo/Lisa on the phone" scene, others as Jim Owen arrives at Zip's. If you have this problem, please contact me. Dean Tanji Producer...
