Summary: Summer is ending we hope you get out there and ride. Thanks for tuning in this week, as always we start by talking about our riding.<br> Roads for Barber visitors to try and ride from two locations<br> 1st – Oak Mountain State Park<br> <br> * State park road heading to Oak Mountain from HWY 119 is one of my favorite, tree canopy short < 5 miles<br> * There is a back entrance to the park (or at least us to be) and the road through the park is a nice ride.<br> * 39/331 one that I want to ride<br> * Different roads heading out to Columbiana<br> <br> 2nd – Barber itself<br> <br> * From HWY 280 and I-459 take Sicard Hollow to Rex lake<br> * If you are staying north of that area closer to down town Birmingham take Overton on the way to I-459 then hit Liberty Parkway and that will run into Sicard Hollow<br> * State HWY 25 – some call it the Alabama dragon ( I wouldn’t go that far) but a fun little road, watch your speed there are a few blind hairpins.<br> * Ride through the Talladega National forest, some dirt roads some paved but you can have a ton of fun on either or both<br> <br> Throttled Ride Along:<br><br> If you are interested in having a Throttled Ride where you can come and ride with Kevin at Barber write in and let us know.<br> <br> * How many miles would you want to do or how long(hours) would you like to ride.<br> * What day of the event Fri, Sat or Sunday works best?<br> * What time of day, Morning or after lunch?<br> * What starting point works best? Barber, 280 and 459, Pelham or Hoover<br> <br> *note that some of the roads that I mentioned about will most likely be involved in the ride at some point. We can go ahead and say that this will be a moderate pace that may at times be slightly faster than posted speeds but shouldn’t be worth an officers time.<br> News:<br><br> Looks like another brand to be built in India and <a href="http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/triumph-announces-plans-new-range-mid-capacity-bikes">Triumph </a>announces plans.<br><br> Sena released the <a href="http://blog.motorcycle.com/2017/08/08/products/sena-10upad-released/">10uPad</a>.<br><br> We cover the video of <a href="http://blog.motorcycle.com/2017/08/11/motorcycle-news/uh-o-canada/">Canadian </a>riders holding up traffic.<br><br> We also cover a rider who survives a tragic <a href="http://www.cycleworld.com/this-video-shows-you-what-it-looks-like-to-ride-off-mountain">accident </a>and then…blames the bike?<br> Recalls:<br><br> BMW issues two recalls this week Here is <a href="http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/bmw-recalls-29000-motorcycles-for-safety-equipment-issue">first </a>and the <a href="http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/bmw-recalls-r1200rt-police-motorcycle-for-defective-brake-lights">second</a>.<br> New Rever Group: We have created a new Rever group/community for our listeners.
