Great vid! Fine look'n scoot & killer scenery!! Thanks for sharing!
Do the amber lights give a lot more light at night? I really like the looks of those.

I couldn't really tell you....as I rarely ride at night. Only a couple times when I had no choice. Too many critters out there for my taste! I really like them though as they are just something different. When grandma pulls up to a stop sign, I'm hoping the amber lights are just enough to catch her eye before she pulls out in front of me.....

Great video! I'm looking for meeting "the legend" in person at Canmore this summer.

Just an awsome job Kris,you embody the true nomad spirit with travels like that !!Do the engine chaps help much with the buffeting and do you keep them on year round ? I put on chucksters lowers and they helped but still get some at 70 mph.

Nicely done Kris, BD might be the best dressed but you are by far the most photographed member I'm sure. And hey !! you had an opportunity to advertise the Northwest/Canada West rally coming up July 17th, 18th, and 19th in Canmore AB ,.... and you didn't use it. What's up with that?
