Probably. New projects and a more satisfying home life have kept me off the trails for almost two years exactly. On Jan. 1, 2009, the Big Red Pig and I went instantly separate ways, just off Lowell Hill Road, and...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CultOfDualsport/~4/cl736N6q8a8" height="1" width="1"/>

The Adventure Cycling blog has a good, short article about dual sport guys riding the Great Divide. Now, while I would hate seeing the Great Divide get overrun with motorized vehicles, I don't think the occasional dual-sport motorcycle rider is...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CultOfDualsport/~4/qmJ5F_mOeGQ" height="1" width="1"/>

Motorcycle USA has their 2010 comparison of what they're calling "quarter liter dual sports". (I posted on this awhile back, noting that the results weren't in yet.) Only the Kawasaki has any changes for 2010. The bikes being compared are:...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CultOfDualsport/~4/Heysxa2Yyiw" height="1" width="1"/>

The year was 1972. The president was Richard Nixon.

When I was a kid, I read a lot of Hardy Boys books. But I don't remember reading the very first one, titled, "The Tower Treasure." Today I was helping my wife set up her 4th grade classroom for the...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CultOfDualsport/~4/qw114Ui2qFw" height="1" width="1"/>

Motorcycle USA reports on the latest stats from the Motorcycle Industry Council. The bad news? Sales are down by 18% from last year. The good news? Dual sport sales are down the least, with only a 3.8% drop. Off-Highway vehicles...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CultOfDualsport/~4/cIMPXopfxZU" height="1" width="1"/>

Popular Mechanics has a buyer's guide for plug-in bikes. I've blogged about the Quantya, Brammo and Zero, but there are a few others here that I haven't heard of.
