I was on my way to work west-bound at 9:30am when I passed the scene. My heart goes out to the rider's family and to the semi driver.

I am so very grateful to Cannonball Rides for the TW200 I won, but anyone who knows me knows I'm not a dirt bike guy. I'm a touring bike guy. So I went back to the dealership where I picked up the TW and made a deal for a 2025 Yamaha FJR! It's awesome. It was so new it was still in the...

It says a lot about a bike if it's still being built 38 years later! Apparently the only update was in 2001 when they went to a 12v charging system, swapped out the front drum brake for a disk and removed the kick-start so they could make it a 5 speed. Otherwise, it's exactly the same as it...

I can finally let the cat out of the bag, I won a 2025 Yamaha TW200 from Cannonball Rides! I got the call in February that I was the winner and picked up the bike last week. It's a lot of fun! I did my first Cannonball Rides route last May, starting with a 250 ride. I really enjoyed the...

28 years of riding and I've never bought a motorcycle that didn't have a centre stand, even when they were shaft driven bikes. Centre stand is very useful.

I have many pics of the various shenanigans and malarkey that has gone on over the years, but as we say, "what happens at Ride for Sight STAYS at Ride for Sight!"

I'll be there again with team GTAM! This will be my 27th year at the Ride for Sight. I've got over $200 raised so far on my way to my goal of $1,000+. It's the last motorcycle rally where you can camp, ride around with your friends and play motorcycle games. The poker run Saturday is great...

I'll catch it whenever it comes on a service I have. Always enjoy these.

If your inseam is tall enough to ride it, keep it. There are few bikes that can match it for its reliability. A KLR is good at almost everything but great at nothing. That's the charm.

Most shops charge around $130/hr for service. Shops will also be super busy this time of year with EVERYONE under the sun trying to ger their bike in for service as well. A lot of riders wanting to sell are trying to book certification inspections and those take a lot longer now. Changing...

I had fun working the Ride for Sight booth with my oldest daughter. I always have fun at the Motorcycle shows.

A buddy has had his INT650 for a few years now and is very happy with it. I had a chance to demo the INT650 and thought it was a fantastic street bike. I'm sure you'll be happy.

I'm not quite as patient as you, but I agree. Up here in the Peterpatch we have a ton of salt and sand still on the roads. I leave the bike in the garage until we've had a few rains and it's 10c out. I'm comfortable anytime it's double digits. What I do is get an early start on my springtime...

Not even spring and someone was caught going over 170km/h, weaving, no insurance, no license. 🤦‍♂️ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/12F4hHEQByS/

At just 131 units I'm sure the engine reliability will be outstanding. 🙄 At least anyone buying a bike for that price is either planning on racing it or so stupidly rich they don't care how much time it spends back at the shop getting fixed.
