Re: Has anyone watched these DVDs?

I've never even seen them before

Did you find them on the Touratech site?

Looking at the covers I would suspect that they are basically advertisements for the TT stuff they make for the various BMW bikes.

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

They are indeed a vehicle for advertising touratech products, but it is subtle. The meat and potatos is the ride, thank goodness because they are pricey DVDs.

I would like you to watch them to see for yourself, I don't care if anyone buys them, but since I have them I and I enjoyed them I would like to pass them around so to speak. Maybe you could send them to Roger after you watch them.

Re: Has anyone watched these DVDs?

I have the WA DVD as we went and rode the trail,we got about 1/3 of the way before the cam chain on one of the CRF450s started making a lot of noise and we aborted the ride to go and fix the bike before the chain broke. We want to go back and do it again. It's a lot more difficult than the DVD makes out.. The DVDs are okay, I paid for mine and thought it was not worth the money, as it's a lot of selling for touratech products, but on the other hand, it did finance there discovering and documenting the trail, and I am happy they did that! Very happy to pay for good trail riding.. it's worth watching if you have 90 minutes free. Better yet, come to Seattle and ride it with me and my wife.. We have room for visitors..
