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.

Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

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..
