Long Distance Endurance Motorcycling:
Seeing the World Non-Stop
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Mary Sykes Room, Baldwin Hall at noon.
In Dean’s own words:
For the past five years, I have spent much of my free time modifying, re-building, and riding motorcycles. The most enjoyable experiences of my riding career have been long rides I’ve taken to various places on continent done at a near non-stop pace. In this talk, I will discuss the world of competitive long-distance riding, including the types of people (and their motorcycles) that participate in this activity, and strategies involved in competition. I will also describe some of the 1000+ mile days I’ve spent riding a 600cc Yamaha sport-bike.
