Ever since I installed the 331 big bore I felt it didn’t crank over quite as well as with the stock bore. But all in all the battery was fine, and I didn’t want to replace it. I figured when the battery died I would find something with more...
Day 06 This was my last day before bike trouble… It started out decent enough. Waking up in a motel room, albeit there wasn’t a bed, and the blanket was way too short – but I’m not complaining. Sure as heck beats a tent. The place only had an...
Day 05 I woke up on the Dawu riverbed and made my way over the mountains to the next river. The road over was in decent shape most of the way, so it didn’t take long to make it over. And then made it to the river… There was...
Day 04 I’m sitting here at the side of a vast riverbed. Nothing but rocks – humongous boulders to sand-like pebbles. I’m somewhere behind the town of Dawu (大武). Here’s a current shot: Haha…ok, with the flash… Getting here started off easy enough. I packed my bike and drove...
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...

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....
Some time ago I was out with my buddy and I got a flat. The area didn’t have any really decent places to prop up the bike and we found ourselves digging and balancing. It all worked out but I really wish there was another way to do it....
Ride Start: 22.589302, 120.664680 Date: 2017 Aug 17 Ride Info I had originally planned to explore the Wan’an area across the river, but ran into a little obstacle… There were some rocks placed to even out the dips in those things, but I wasn’t in the mood...
