The Brain & Trauma: Why You Avoid or Force Riding The Brain & Trauma: Why You Avoid or Force Riding
Crash to Conquer: Solve Your Riding Problems Crash to Conquer: Solve Your Riding Problems
Look, this is the most un-CanyonChasers thing we'v Look, this is the most un-CanyonChasers thing we've ever made. No canyons. A Royal Enfield Classic 650 that would rather cruise than carve. And an entire day where we counted exactly one corner.

We rode the second leg of a relay, Tulsa to Albuquerque, on the 125th Anniversary edition in the year Route 66 turns 100. Then handed the bike off to the next rider and sent it on toward Santa Monica. The other riders were @mrleozombie @rachmartino @motogluten and @rachelmoto_ @jaycee.33 gets an honorable mention for diving the support van the entire way!

Along the way: brick arches in Tulsa, a Cadillac graveyard in Texas, the old pre-1937 alignment through Pecos, and the best riding of the whole trip showing up in the rain, right when we'd stopped expecting any.

I went in thinking this bike was the wrong tool for the job. I came out with a different opinion. Full video is up on the channel.

What's the most "wrong" bike you've taken on a long trip? Tell me in the comments.
