Thanks! This info is eye-opening, I had no idea.

Yamaha VStar 650 Suzuki Volusia 800 caught my eye. Thoughts?

UPDATE BELOW Hey Y’all, I’m looking for some recommendations on a cruiser style bike. I’ve ridden sports bike forever but now I’m looking to change things up. I like to do long tours but also do a lot of city riding. I plan on keeping one of my sport bikes for the track and adding a...

Thanks for the reply, very insightful. I’ll post my review after my ride.

Has anyone rented a bike through eagle rider? I’m planning a one direction trip in August, flying out west to Utah/Nevada and riding my way back to Tdot and hopefully have time to hit up Sturgis along the way as I’ve yet to go and it’s on my bucket list. They have a feature where you can drop...

Went to unlock my bike a few days ago and the key would not release the wheel lock. I tried jiggling it every which way ensuring the bars were turned all the way to the left - key would not move. The key opened the gas tank and seat lock fine but the ignition was stuck. Picked up some...

Manual says 10W30 for -10 to 20 C 20W40 for 10 to 40 C My main curiosity is what is the difference between 10W30 vs 10W40? If they’re both full synthetic why wouldn’t you want the larger range with 10W40? Is there a cost / quality variation? And has anyone used 5W30? Is 5W better for colder...

For riding in colder temperatures would you switch oil viscosity? When would you use -5W30 -5W40 -10W30 -10W40 ? I ride all year and if the roads are clear I ride all the way down to about -10C. My bikes are also in a non heated garage where the temp inside is about 2C warmer than...

Magnetic tank bag. Can fit a pair of shoes easily. Can feed electronic cords through multiple cord holes. Waterproof cover.

Before embarking on this trip I sourced this forum for suggestions on where to go and which roads to ride. Y’all were spot on accurate. This is certainly a scenic ride, with many fast sweepers. But for the adventurous rider there are very few technical twisties. I started this ride very...

Find a safe place to do U-turns and loop this on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks! You probably saved me hrs of slabbing. I think I’ll do parts of the north side and skip out on the south side. I did the loop around Elliot lake last year (546), great road but it was under construction for 3/4 of it, I’d wait till it’s fully re-paved if youre thinking of riding it...
