    Dual Sporting Pennsylvania
    The following five previously published magazine articles from Backroad Bob's Motorcycle Adventures Dual Sporting Pennsylvania begin with five stories compiled after fifteen years, dozens of long weekends, and tens of thousands of miles riding through Pennsylvania's state forests. The 2.1 million acres of Pennsylvania's state forests and their 2600 miles of unpaved roads and 2500 miles of single track trails constitute one of the largest state-owned public areas open to dual sport riding in the United States. By permitting public access to the state's forests, Pennsylvania has created a dual sport rider's paradise. It's difficult to improve on a day spent riding hard, eating well, and sitting around a campfire under a sky so filled with stars that constellations are lost in an expanse of twinkling lights stretching from horizon to horizon.

    Dual Sporting Beyond Pennsylvania
    The remaining twenty articles are a compilation of stories about events from the AMA/Suzuki National Dual Sport Trail Ride Series, Racer Productions' Appalachian Dual Sport Tour, and routes I've developed after fifteen years of East Coast dual sport exploration. A few articles cover the same event, the Shenandoah 500km, and rightfully so as this is the best dual sport ride in the country. The folks from Northern Virginia Trail Riders could write the book on organizing a ride. A few others concern the demise of the most famous off-road event in America - the Blackwater 100 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Race. Two decades ago, with more than a little help from legendary promoter Dave Coombs, the Blackwater 100 became known as the toughest race in America. This reputation put Dave's Racer Productions and his fledgling GNCC series on the map. Today, the GNCC title is the most coveted off-road crown in America. One of the articles is an interview with Sidney Dickson - a former World Rally car driver, Vincent collector, and dual sporting pioneer. His insights into long distance, endurance, dual sport riding will really get you thinking about your own dual sport adventure.

      Motorcycle Dual Sporting (Vol. 4) - Dual Sporters & Thumper Humpers & More Dual Sporters & Thumper Humpers Compilation Backroad Bob's Motorcycle Dual Sporting (Vol. 2) Dual Sporters & Thumper Humpers The following twenty-eight magazine articles begin with eighteen stories compiled from fifteen years and 43,000 miles of dual sporting from Vermont to Tennessee. From the legendary Blackwater events, to buying a dual sport, to dual sport history, to touring on your dual sport - they're all here. Four reviews of a perennial Pennsylvania favorite, the Durty Dabbers Dual Sport, coverage of two National Hare Scrambles Events, some advice on what and how to carry a weekend's worth of necessities on your dual sport, to a humorous look at dual sporting are included as well. The second half contains ten articles and takes a look at Thumper Humpers - the endearing term used to describe the individuals that tour on their single-cylinder four stroke motorcycles (Thumpers). These riders think nothing of going cross-country on a motorcycle the average "rider" wouldn't take across town. Some of them compete in endurance rallies and 1000-mile days aboard their Thumpers. One article reveals what good road bikes Thumpers make and another makes a case for the dual sport as the perfect beginner's bike. Seven others recount Thumper events from 1996-2000 held in Pennsylvania and New York. The final story takes you along the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in the scenic Delmarva Peninsula. & Motorcycle Dual Sporting (Vol. 3) More Dual Sporters & Thumper Humpers The following eleven magazine articles begin with seven stories compiled from fifteen years and 43,000 miles of dual sporting from Vermont to Tennessee. They will take you from riding the largest state forest system in the US (Bald Eagle's Best and Beech Creek Ride), to what one year in the life of a dedicated dual sporter looks like (Big Dirty Fun), to Pennsylvania's best dual sport roads (PA's 10 Best DS Roads), to interviewing a dealer about his ride across America (Trans-America Trail), and to the joys of dual sporting (Why I Love Dual Sporting). The second part contains four articles with the first one looking at the latest trend in Thumpers (single-cylinder four strokes) - small bore city/suburban models (Cleveland Cycle Werks) and racing thumpers (Arenacross, Grand National Cross Country), including the latest trend in motorcycling - electric motorcycles (Zero X Enduro).
