March 11th, 2011: Vridetv's blog update: Virtual riding TV is very pleased to be an official media sponsor for two premier motorcycle rallies in British Columbia this July. Sturgis North Motorcycle Rally and the Great Canadian Bike Rally. more
Product info:
The 'Original' Progressive Rate Fork Springs soak up the small road bumps, yet are firm enough to absorb the molar-rattling ones. Spring rates have been chosen to reduce front end "dive" during braking, yet still provide excellent ride comfort. Better yet, we warranty our fork springs for life! Progressive Rate Fork Springs have several advantages over straight rate springs. A Progressive Rate Spring has the advantage of a rising rate resistance to compression. The benefit of this is that the spring can be soft enough at the start of the travel to offer a "plush" ride, yet be firm enough at the end of the travel to soak up the big bumps.
March 18th, 2011: We would like to welcome our newest sponsor for the 2011 riding season Progressive Suspension. They have provided us with a pair of progressive rate fork springs for our 2003 Harley-Davidson V-Rod camera bike. A full review will be posted once they have been installed & thoroughly road tested.

March 28th, 2011: New High definition video has been posted featuring: Motorcycle riding on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island. This video has no music, only the sounds of the bike, wind, the peg scraping, and shows my favourite two minutes of this World famous road. This footage was captured in 2006 while on our ride across Canada, the bike was fully loaded with me, my wife as passenger, and all our gear... We have made many improvements to our camera mount over the years that has virtually eliminated the waves and vibrations that are seen in this video. We are looking forward to filming this area again one day with all our new camera equipment and technology.

The FFR (Modular - Flip Front) helmet has an excellent design, fit, and function. They are very comfortable with removable liners for washing, and have a ventilation system that works great on hot days. The metal hinge mechanism used to lift and lower the front, glides smoothly and locks securely in either position. (The original FFR helmets were used on the our Canada ride). We have put the FFR helmets through rigorous testing in all kinds of weather conditions and they have proven themselves time and time again.
KBC Performance Helmets have been keeping us safe since we bought our first FFR's in 2006.
They were our choice of helmets, years before they were our sponsors.
