Round Island Dirt Trip – Take 2 – Day 03 I wasn’t feeling 100% but didn’t want to waste another day. I decided to drive straight through Kenting, around the southern tip and make my way up the east coast. I lost plenty of mountain riding but I needed...
Day 02 It was a day of frustration and backtracking. Because of the late start with the rain, I decided to cut a portion off the day’s ride. A few shots of the ride down. My first backtrack was trying to get to Lion Waterfall (小獅王瀑布). The views on...
Today I had a late start. Left the house around noon. I’m not the get up early and quickly get going kind of guy. I like to take my time and leave when I’m ready. And as it happened, my son was sick the night before. I didn’t want...
I’m lying…it really won’t be an off-road trip… I’ve been planning to do a round island trip for a couple years now. That may sound strange. Taiwan is a small island with nice roads; you could easily circle it in a couple days or less if you wanted to....

Ride Info This is the second half of the Maolin Entrance Ride. After finishing that ride, cross the bridge and head up to the main road. Drive through town and keep going until you get to the fire station on the left. Just past it to the right is...
Ride Info This is the first part of a two or more part ride. I started the ride on the other side, near Lover’s Gorge waterfall. But I would recommend starting where I finished, at the trail head of Weiliao Mountain Trail (尾寮山步道). As you travel up you’ll first...
I’ve been wanting to strengthen my subframe for a while now after seeing pictures of a few cracked subframes on kawasakiforums. I tend to load up the rear and bounce the hell out of it. A weak spot has been reported in the tube just past the coolant overflow...
