Joe Barnes is well known for his Dudes of Hazzard shenanigans and has always been a rider associated with Orange bikes. This year is a fresh start for Joe though, and although we can expect to see plenty more of his wild adventures we won’t be seeing him aboard an Orange anymore.

German brand Canyon have snapped Joe up to ride enduro events and to perform general gallivanting duties for the 2013 season. Here’s a nice edit from a ‘training camp’ trip to Tenerife…the sport needs more Dudes like Joe we think you’ll agree.

Anyone on here ridden in Tenerife? Looks like it might warrant a trip.
