July 29th, 2011: We would like to welcome and thank our newest sponsor RevZilla for adding to my safety by upgrading the armor in my jacket to the Alpinestars Bionic Air back Protector Insert and the Bionic Chest Pads. They have also sent Alpinestars summer tech long sleeve top and a couple of pairs of Alpinestars summer touring socks to keep me cool and comfortable.
September 12th, 2011: Special thanks to KBC Performance helmets for their continued sponsorship of our 2011 riding season. Here's the FFR Envy that I'll be wearing for the remainder of the year. I will be installing a M-Sonic 800BH Bluetooth headset right away, and I also have to make and install the camera bracket. I'll post more pictures once it's completed.
The FFR (Modular - Flip Front) helmet has an excellent design, fit, and function. They are very comfortable with removable liners for washing, and have a ventilation system that works great on hot days. The metal hinge mechanism used to lift and lower the front, glides smoothly and locks securely in either position. (The original FFR helmets were used on the our Canada ride). We have put the FFR helmets through rigorous testing in all kinds of weather conditions and they have proven themselves time and time again.
KBC Performance Helmets have been keeping us safe since we bought our first FFR's in 2006.
They were our choice of helmets, years before they were our sponsors.
Visit KBC's website for more information on their full line of high performance helmets.

January 23rd, 2012: New High definition video has been posted featuring: Motorcycle riding through an avalanche at Duffey Lake, British Columbia, Canada. It was an amazing sight to come around a corner and see tonnes of snow on either side of the road. The crews were just finishing clearing the second avalanche and warned me to leave the area because it was very unstable. I set up my camera equipment at the Duffey Lake Provincial Park boat launch and just happened to catch a helicopter flying over surveying the damage. The power of Mother Nature is incredible....
