I like his videos, mostly. One thing that I remember from a couple of his road trips, though was that he'd find vegan restaurants and get this veritable hog trough of food - like, enough for a family of 4 adults - which he would then eat. And he's a skinny guy!

On Facebook, "If you could only drink one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?"
And I thought, "Cyanide."

I mean, there is precedent for partaking in the former and going on a bicycle ride...
Not that anyone reasonably sane would endorse the practice

I got soaked on my ride today. Glad I took my rain bike instead of the Holdsworth - probably would have ruined my jersey with dirt and mud if I didn't have fenders.
Still super fun. Clouds obscuring the tops of the mountains still hasn't gotten old to look at.
My route today also gave me the chance to test out my new commute route -
My shop is opening up a second location here in the next month or so. While our current location is within range of bicycle commuting (12-13 miles) the roads you have to take aren't the most relaxing
The new shop will be 9.5 miles away, with the route almost entirely on a MUP

Did you race Supermotard on your Husky? I always thought that looked like fun.
I'll bet a TE150i is fast enough to have fun on, especially if you're light. A friend raced 125s in MX and desert and when he came to our rides it was crazy trying to follow him through the dez. He was light and he could turn that thing on a dime and I would be braking and downshifting and trying to get pointed in the direction he was going and the next thing I knew he would turn again. Lots of fun!

Whether it is cars or bikes (of both types), I always prefer lightweight over big power.

I'm a quasi-doctor (non-medical). I also am aware of when I injure myself.
