Yamaha FJR Rider John Ryan Breaks Record For Traversing North America

Submitted by shawn on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 11:21

What's the longest you've ever ridden in one day? Two days? Four?

How about 5566 miles in 86 hours and 31 minutes. Do the math - that's under 4 days!

John Ryan did exactly that. From Prudhoe Bay, on the North Shore of Alaska to Key West, Florida, Ryan traversed the entire North American Continent - and that included the 400-mile long gravel Dalton Highway!

The folks at 2WheelTuesday.com have a press release about John's ride that you can read while you listen in to the interview. Hope you enjoy it!

Submitted by shawn on Thu, 07/30/2009 - 09:28

Ever wondered what a "Track Day" is? Ever dreamed about running your ride on the same asphalt as professional racers? Do you want to increase your skill level but not your risk?

Well, Track Days may be the thing for you. On this YBL, I talk to Ken Condon, the Chief Instructor at Tony's Track Days.

Ken talks about what a Track Day is and isn't, what you'll learn and what you'll experience.

Bottom line is - do a Track Day! You won't regret it.
