    2024 BMW R1300GS Leak

    Generally I like to get rid of vehicles before the warranty expires which in the case of BMW is 3 years to maximize the value in the used market.I usually average about 7-10000 kms a year and usually end up selling my used units to friends so being under warranty is a good thing. I just...

    2024 BMW R1300GS Leak

    The 1300GS will be my 4th GS since 2016 and each one has been better than the previous one and I am sure this one will keep the trend going.I have ridden sports bikes most of my 50 year riding career and I have really wondered why I did not start adventure touring much earlier.I have really...

    Ducati “Ready 4 Red” Tonight

    I was underwhelmed by the event for a few reasons.Maybe its my age but I found it way too loud for me as I could not carry on a conversation with friends that I ran into.I left at 8 to meet up with Wife to have an anniversary dinner and I do not think any of the bikes were uncovered by that...

    What are conditions on Southwood 13 , 26 (Frank Miller), 7 thru Port Sandfield to 632 to Rosseau

    Rode Southwood yesterday and it was much better than I remembered it being about 15 years ago.Yeah it is still rough in spots and dirty in a few corners but still a lot of fun to ride.Biggest issue was lots of traffic and little bit of construction near the top. Also rode Pennisula Road to...

    adv vs traditional sport tourer?

    All my GS and GSA’s have been low suspension versions and if you need more turn clearance and want it turn better just crank up the rear ride height by the electronic preload adjustment.Pretty easy and for the most part staying with so called sporty bikes is not an issue.I have had a VFR in my...

    adv vs traditional sport tourer?

    The modern GS’s are far from being soft lazy handling bikes with the adaptive suspension and different riding modes.In dynamic pro you can back off the ABS,adjust the throttle reponse,engine braking,wheelie control,Shock damping.Yes it’s not a sport bike but pretty dam good and a 1000+ km day is...
