Motorcycle Review

Exploring the abandoned ruins near the Texas ghost towns of Hadacol Corner, Texon, and Best via motorcycle (Yamaha FZ-07/MT-07 and FJR1300). Aerial footage shot with the DJI Spark drone. Other off-bike footage shot with Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras.

Could you live in the badlands of West Texas? It's rugged, desolate, dry, and hot. This land was settled by the toughest of the tough, and you still need to be that way today. This is my answer to the Show Your World Challenge, which I was tagged into by my YouTube buddy SJBali.

My wife and I meet up with Clif, the geezers and the scalawags to ride the incredible motorcycle roads in and around Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Along the way, we visit Silver Lake, the National Solar Observatory, Timberon, and much more. Join us for the funnest motorcycle trip I've taken all year.

Clif and I head to Spring Creek and the nearby towns of Mertzon, Sherwood, and Knickerbocker in West Texas to check out some ruins, explore ghost towns, and contemplate the story of Knickerbocker native Laura Bullion, one of the baddest outlaw dames in Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch gang.

Is YouTube broken or do I just suck? In any case, this is a vlog where I go buy motorcycle parts for my ZRX1200R and complain about YouTube the whole way there. Enjoy.

Clif and I ride to an undisclosed location in West Texas to check on Matt's geocache and add a few things to it. Along the way, we enjoy an astounding West Texas sunset on a warm summer night.

It's out with the old and in with the older as I re-install the DanMoto XG-1 full system onto my Yamaha FZ-07 and modify its baffles as an experiment. The MT-07 is arguably the best-sounding motorcycle ever to roll the streets of planet earth, which makes the result of this modification all the more interesting.
