I'll be out of service for while and looking for some decent riding videos. I'm going nuts being off my feet. I have Physical Therapy coming up but it's not enough to keep me occupied the whole day. I can't even work on my bikes. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I'm just bored as hell!!

I have watched a few episodes of “itchy boots”. It is interesting, but I get the feeling that her producing the videos takes all the fun and joy out of the ride. Looks more like a job to me and not so much adventure. She looks kind of lonely too.
I'm starting at her 1st one and going from there. Thanks for the suggestion Mac.

I’ve been researching some Norway riding stuff, really enjoyed Backroad Motorcycling and Mavil Bike Adventures, both did a Series of videos of their trips, both very well presented and kept interesting. They also included Sweden, Russia and Finland in parts.

Both on YouTube

Type in Motorcycle Travel Documentaries and pick some that you find appealing. There is a wide range from campy to painfully artistic.

And here is what it takes to be number one in a Hare and Hound. Jacob Argubright is at the top of his game right now. This is the kind of racing I used to do only at novice level. Helicopters cannot even keep up with the pros in the fast sections. I really like this video because it shows the whole race.

You can see how fast these guys go in first time terrain. Cannot pre run anything but the bomb run. Notice the suspension in the G-Outs. Desert suspension has special valving at the end of the travel to prevent the bike from spitting you off. Also to note is every single bike runs a steering damper.

A few years back my wife and I helped out on road crossings for this same race. It's held in Red Mountain. The spooky thing about this area is solid rocks hidden in the pucker bushes. If you blast through the bushes it can end up with a DNF and free air lift.

This is a really good edge of your seat video from beginning to end.

I just finished watching a documentary named "Ride Report" on Prime that I really enjoyed. Two guys on DRZ400 Super Motos heading from Las Vegas to Rio for the Carnival.
The seem a little clueless but that's the charm of the film, and that it's not only about folks filming themselves riding, but who they meet, who helps, and it's pretty well done (someone else actually shot and commentated the film).

This guy started riding Dual Sport about 6 or 7 years ago and and does a great job with his videos.
I thought this one was good.
