    Bikes Made Weird = Boxer Motor They are proven, well-engineered bikes and they ride well. BMW could also be "Bikes Made Well" Riddle: what label will denote a Ural which also has a boxer motor? (nudge, nudge, Wingboy!)

    Test rides on A couple of GS's

    Just back from a spin on my R9T. It is the more "raw" 2018 version with John Sharrad tuned Ohlins front and rear suspension. For me, this bike is a "keeper"!

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    Past experience tells me to never go into a negotiation without something in your back pocket. I had none, except a "he said", a right turn on red. So I gave Ceaser his coin. Now I have fitted and tested a dash cam that will be insurance against Popo's automated crap. Which begs the question -...
