What are you all riding? This is where we find out! You send us your submissions, and then we cast our judgemental expert lustful eyes over them and bring them to the world to ooh and ahh over. We’re picking the prettiest, the most curious, and the ones with a good story for you to appraise, praise, and maybe look wistfully at. This week’s bike caught our attention both for its simple good looks and its very nice photographs. It’s James’ BTR Ranger.
Why this bike?
Wanted one ever since I saw it in Dirt 100 in 2014. Had various Cotics and Stantons but was an itch that needed scratching…
