OPMODasaki With Nanuk Versus Harley

Steven K. Ledin, OPMODasaki With Nanuk Versus Harley

I've been riding and racing bikes before kindergarden, since about 1964. I've had maybe 10 or so since then.

The OPMODasaki is the most satisfying bike I've ever owned, mostly because it fits my riding style. I love the dirt, and having a big thumping enduro bike between my legs with full bags on back is awesome. The KLR's knobbies splash through mud, sqirt dirt, and hop curbs and potholes like breathing. It is quick and nimble with a throaty growl, and the superb Nanuk cases on the Moose Expedition racing frame makes carrying cases of beer or ammo effortless. I keep …

Tru-Spec 24-7 3-in 1 WeatherShield Motorcycle Jacket and !

Steven K. Ledin, Tru-Spec 24-7 3-in 1 WeatherShield Motorcycle Jacket and !

The above picture shows our lovely Kate wearing the excellent Tru-Spec 24-7 3-in-1 WeatherShield jacket. It's my new go-to motorcycle jacket. I love everything about it. It's not marketed as a bike jacket, but it is the best I have ever owned for that application.

It's still chilly out during my morning drives to work, and proper clothing makes it comfortable. My area of least comfort, normally, is my lower chin and neck, even when wearing turtlenecks, like I normally do for spring riding.  I sometimes wear my secret weapon, …

This is a high end call with 8-10 hours of battery life and an amazing 250 yard range with the remote. It also comes with a moving decoy and includes 2 gigs of memory to load your own noises if one of the included 400 calls are not to your liking. The gun is my Remington R-25 .308

Surefire/Trijicon Shoot, and Grab a Handful of OPMOD

Steven K. Ledin, Surefire/Trijicon Shoot, and Grab a Handful of OPMOD

Product Intelligence and a few others were invited to the Article II Range in Lombard last week for a shoot sponsored by Surefire and Trijicon. This was the first time that these trainers held a shoot for non-military and LE customers. Free ammo is always good, and we threw a lot of lead downrange through a variety of ARs. Several wore cans, and they all worked even after they got red hot. LWRC and LMT make some of the most desireable black guns in existence. We shot the carbines with a variety of ACOGs
