Beta Motorcycles Canada has been calling BC and Alberta home for the past few weeks as Canadian distributor Stephen Howland took the 2017 line-up for demo days across select riding areas. First stop was in beautiful Revelstoke, BC. Travelling across the country the bikes needed to be prepped and ready to hit singletrack that you and I would ride in a heartbeat.

Speaking to media and other VIP Stephen Howland gives the low-down on the 2017 line-up.

My steed for the weekend helping me get around the trails with a 40lb backpack of camera gear. With a light front end it, and smooth power delivery it was easy to put the front wheel where I wanted it...and that was usually up and over the mega roots and rocks.

A huge shout-out to Stephen Howland for the day, the bikes, and the food. There’s a reason Beta bikes are sitting on the top step of the podium around the world. If you get a chance test ride one and you won’t be disappointed. Check with Beta Canada for the nearest demo day near you.

 

TRACTION Off-Road & Dual Sport eRag – December 2013 Issue

TRACTION Dec. 2013 Cover

The latest issue of Traction Off-Road & Dual Sport Magazine is out!

I am very proud of this issue for a few reasons. But it’s not just because two of my articles and photos are featured in this months magazine but simply because I made a great friend in the process. I had the opportunity to interview Robert Perkins for the ‘Riding with MS’ article at the end of August and in that short time a life long friendship blossomed. I am very proud of the article but my success could not have been without my amazing editor Aija Marshall. She has a way with words.

I hope you take the time to check out the December issue. It’s chock full of goodies, editorial content and crazy pictures.

Don’t forget to share the link with your friends as well and if you haven’t already please sign up to receive Traction directly to your inbox. The magazine is FREE.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!!
