When riding, where are you looking? What do you see when you look down the road?
It is a pretty
serious question. You go where you look.
Shira seems to see to infinity. I watch my wife go through tight turns left, right, right, left… with the grace of God.
Me, not so much. I am not bitter about this. I got it… she is far faster than me and I have my place in this world. But I can write. Many cannot. So now you have to deal with me and my
drivel.
For kids, riding dirt bikes is way more than just fun. They may not recognize it at first, but riding also helps establish key building blocks for life, including personal responsibility, critical thinking, work ethic, and more. But how to get kids started? There are two basic camps for small dirt
bikes. One is casual trail bikes, also known as playbikes. These general-purpose mounts are affordably priced and often include family-friendly features such as keyed ignition systems, electric starting, and mildly tuned four-stroke engines. The second category is competition bikes, aka motocrossers. These most often feature highly tuned two-stroke engines, long-travel suspension for handling rough terrain at speed, and bigger price tags. An
emerging third camp is electric motorcycles, which are a great way to get younger kids involved.

Let's talk about a serious journey.

You've met him at a motorcycle gathering, or a race, or buttonholing you outside a store. “These new bikes,” he
says, screwing up his face as if he just stepped in something warm and squishy, “they’re too complicated."
When a person goes missing, it starts a multi-faceted chain of events. Not only do friends and family do everything they can, but in some cases, nationwide searches ensue. Some of these have happy endings, others do not…and some remain unsolved forever.
Whether it’s getting lost at sea, taking a ride on a plane and not making it to a destination, or
simply heading out to the movie theater to catch a film, the following disappearances piqued public interest for multiple reasons. Authorities poured millions of dollars into solving these mysterious cases but came up with nothing but loose ends fit for a Netflix documentary.
Sharper, sleeker, sportier. Take a touch of touring, a pinch of unbeatable tarmac performance and a large vivid spice of Supermoto legacy, and serve it with speed: KTM is delighted to reintroduce the KTM SMT back to the table.

Last night I dreamed the sky went black You were drifting down, couldn't get back You were lost and troubled so far from home I reached for you, my arms were like stone I woke and you were missing Missing...
