    Horsing around the Forks of Salmon

    Here is a more comprehensive video log pulled from 4 days of riding with BigDogRaven and friends over Memorial Day weekend. There are pics but no music (unless you're not right in the head and you consider the sound of a howling tuned FJR with Holeshot full exhaust music). So put on whatever...
