Dual Sport Group Ride - Rising Sun to Madison, Indiana, on the XT225, WR250R, DRZ400, and DR650

On this dual sport group ride we wind up and down some Ohio River Valley backroads on our way from Rising Sun to Madison, Indiana. Most people don't think of hills when it comes to Indiana but the southeastern part of the state (across the river from Kentucky) has beautiful rolling hills, similar to where I grew up in West Virginia. Today's group had my Yamaha XT225 along with friends on their WR250R, DRZ400, and DR650. As you'll see, the little XT is a great little bike for this type of riding, whether it's traveling 60+ on two-lane or chugging up and down the rolling gravel hills.

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on YouTube.

Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
