From the legendary Blackwater events, to buying a dual sport, to dual sport history, to touring on your dual sport - they’re all here. Four reviews of a perennial Pennsylvania favorite, the Durty Dabbers Dual Sport, coverage of two National Hare Scrambles Events, some advice on what and how to carry a weekend’s worth of necessities on your dual sport, to a humorous look at dual sporting are included as well.\u003cbr\u003eThe second half contains ten articles and takes a look at Thumper Humpers - the endearing term used to describe the individuals that tour on their single-cylinder four stroke motorcycles (Thumpers). These riders think nothing of going cross-country on a motorcycle the average “rider” wouldn’t take across town. Some of them compete in endurance rallies and 1000-mile days aboard their Thumpers. One article reveals what good road bikes Thumpers make and another makes a case for the dual sport as the perfect beginner’s bike. Seven others recount Thumper events from 1996-2000 held in Pennsylvania and New York. The final story takes you along the Chesapeake \u0026amp; Delaware Canal in the scenic Delmarva Peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS:\u003cbr\u003eDUAL SPORTERS -\u003cbr\u003eBLACKWATER - THE RETURN\u003cbr\u003eBUYING A DUAL SPORT\u003cbr\u003eDUAL SPORT DILEMMA\u003cbr\u003eDUAL SPORT HISTORY\u003cbr\u003eDUAL SPORT TIRES\u003cbr\u003eDUAL SPORT TOURING\u003cbr\u003eDURTY DABBERS 1994\u003cbr\u003eDURTY DABBERS 1995\u003cbr\u003eDURTY DABBERS 1996\u003cbr\u003eDURTY DABBERS 2000\u003cbr\u003eEAST COAST DUAL SPORTING\u003cbr\u003eGABBY OLD GUY\u003cbr\u003eIN THE BEGINNING\u003cbr\u003eNATIONAL HARE SCRAMBLES 1997\u003cbr\u003eNATIONAL HARE SCRAMBLES 1998\u003cbr\u003eTOWER CITY TRAIL RIDERS\u003cbr\u003eWEEKENDER\u003cbr\u003eWHY DON’T?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHUMPER HUMPERS -\u003cbr\u003eA BIG SECRET\u003cbr\u003eBEGINNER’S BIKE\u003cbr\u003eSAIL \u0026amp; RIDE\u003cbr\u003eTHE EVENT 1998\u003cbr\u003eTHE EVENT 1999\u003cbr\u003eTHE EVENT 2000\u003cbr\u003eTHE EVENT 2001\u003cbr\u003eTHE SINGLE LIFE\u003cbr\u003eTHUMPERS \u0026amp; TWINS 1996\u003cbr\u003eTHUMPERS \u0026amp; TWINS 1997\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotorcycle Dual Sporting (Vol. 3) More Dual Sporters \u0026amp; Thumper Humpers\u003cbr\u003eThe following ten magazine articles begin with six stories compiled from fifteen years and 43,000 miles of dual sporting from Vermont to Tennessee.
