If 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 dese...

My new friend Leo Santo and I solve all the worlds problems and create an outline for world peace in this podcast.  Ok, maybe we fall short of that standard, but it was a really fun conversation.  Hope you enjoy it! Leave a single track -  - Kyle Support the show

What you are about to listen is the MOST DOWNLOADED podcast I've ever recorded.

It's also a great time for all of us to take another listen to these words of wisdom! Dr. Domenick Sportelli (Dr. Dom) is a Medical Doctor, Board C...

Thanks to Sam Bennion for joining me in this discussion today! How do we mentally prepare to hit bigger and bigger obstacles and challenges so that we grow in our abilities? Incremental Growth - Baby steps small logs, small drops Stop for a moment and realize the bike can do this How do we draw the line to know when to stop or when we really are out of our ability? Peer pressure? Going back to an...

Fuel/Oil Ratio vs Fuel Air/Ratio Fuel/Oil ratio is the amount of oil you are mixing in the gas.  It's in your gas can 32:1 is a lot of oil - thick fuel 50:1 is less oil - thinner fuel 80:1 is even less oil - thinnest fuel Pick something that works for you and stick with that.  We'll fine tune the mix with our fuel/air Ratio Fuel/Air Ratio is fine tuned inside the carburetor with Jets and...

7.3 Hours  I feel really comfortable on the bike - familiar Love the electric start Bike is really light - 220 lbs - feels like there is nothing there sometimes.  This is a blessing and a curse -  Can put the bike anywhere, but it's moving around down there and you have to flow with it.  Swapping from KX250X and the 125 XC yesterday - made the KX feel heavy Carbs - Used 3 carbs already on the...

Winterizing a dirt bike was on my topic list from listeners.  I typed out a few bullet points and then did a google search for this to see if I saw other others, and my video from 2 years ago was the first hit. I forgot that I even did a video on it!  I did see that Rocky Mountain did a video similar to mine a year earlier in 2017, but I didn't watch that until today.  I don't watch very...

Here we go with my full review of the 2020 Sherco 300 SEF Factory.  It's certainly one of my all time favorite 4 stroke enduro bikes.  It's got the best fork valving of any of the bikes I've ridden in the last year.  In the video I will point out several things I really love about the bike and some things that they really need to improve upon. Hopefully this will be helpful to many...

First 1.5 hours on the bike.  I will have at least 5 more months with the bike so stay tuned, but here are some first notes. Bike feels REALLY Narrow between your legs - like it's not eve there.  That is a great feeling.   Was wearing my knee braces and still could barely feel the bike.  Once I turned the fork compression all the way out, the front forks worked pretty well for the 2nd, 3rd, a...

I want to thank my amazing wife Karen for joining me on this episode and giving us her reasons she thinks that riding dirt bikes is a good thing for many people.  These are Karen's top 10 reasons to let your husband buy a dirt bike.  The first three were her top 3 reasons, the rest are in no particular order.  1.
