ive driven in iceland but not on bike. place looks like mars or something. as someone with absolutely zero offroading experience i'd probably stick to ring road if i ever go back.

My first bike carborated Sym Wolf 150cc. 14hp lol.

thats fair. felt the same way about the svartpilen 401 when i test rode one. fun bike but a little too tall for me.

no clue. i ride with an iphone 13 all of the time for years and have had zero issues with OIS. this is with quad lock case + quad lock dampener and mount. but i dont have crazy vibey bikes either. i'd be a 100% ok with also switching to some carplay proxy system but havent found one i liked...

i have no issue with small bikes. used to tut around on a suzuku tu250x and loved it. but if i were to buy a bike in that 350'ish cc range today, i'd probably get the triumph 400. considering the base cost of a hunter is like $5500 and the triumph is $6000.

if i didnt already have quadlock case and etc i'd switch. peak design looks way cleaner and i like their built-in vibe dampener vs the weird space station looking thing from quad lock.

NIN doing the soundtrack makes so much sense and rules. not huge on jaret leto though.

i've had a gt650 for a few years which is essentially the same engine but the bear is tuned for slightly more torque i believe. had to get the bike replaced after about 2 weeks (bought brand new) due to supposed cylinder failure. warranty covered it. i've yet to hear this happen to anyone else...

one day im just gonna try one of the cheap aliexpress carplay options like this that just pairs with your phone. you get the benefit of google maps data without risking your phone. that being said, i've mounted my phones for years (used ram x mount and now quadlock with vibe dampener) as my...

the 650 is a sweet, gentle engine. optimally i'd love to see 65'ish hp for their street bikes (i have the GT650), but i dunno if RE will ever leave that 'global' segment of limited 48hp to appease A2 learners permits for a long while. there are rumblings of a 750cc incoming.

i dunno! i imagine its just the nature of a mobile, indoor road show, especially one thats only a few days long. we went to hall 5 around 2:45'ish and were 2nd in line for the 3pm start.

ok just came back from the show. The Wall of Death was pretty sweet!

dont suppose anyones seen the newer bell lithium helmet around the show? havent been able to see it at any online retailers in canada at least. its basically the replacement for the budget bell qualifier helmet.

i loved the stretch in california / nevada and want to do some riding in arizona etc. rode in portugal this past fall and japan before that. i definitely want to head back to japan. REGURAA!!!

i'm probably one of the few to actually look at bikes but also because the crowd i used to ride with...NONE of them ride anymore lol. or at least aren't active enough to care about bike shows.
