Title: HAM Radio, and Tires
Post by: Downs on July 04, 2015, 08:48:24 PM

Everytime I come to the MSTA site it's changed a bit lol.  Haven't been on the forums in a while.  SOCAL is pretty far from most of the MSTA shindigs but I still maintain my membership :)

Anyway figured I would share some videos I made recently reguarding my HAM radio setup on my bike and some Shinko "big bike" dual sport tires.

My initial Shinko 804/805 review.  Excuse my narration.  I was rushed trying to squeeze in what I wanted in the time available AND I had a few beers during post production lol

It looks like you had fun setting up that various scenarios in the first video. And even on the big bike, you got a little air in the last one. Yee haw!

I wasn't exactly out your way this past week, but I did pay a visit to the Mojave NPres on Wednesday. Approaching the AZ/CA state line, I saw a sign indicating it was about 250 miles to LA. Had I had a bit more flexibility in my schedule, I'd have been tempted to just go there. As it was, I needed to turn around and return to Holbrook, AZ...and it was 385 miles from the Kelso Station in the Mojave. At a toasty 109 degrees in Needles, CA, I wanted to go wherever it was cool.

I stay away from the desert during the summer.  If I want to ride out there in the vastness I wait for winter time lol.
