It's interesting how the advice on not worrying too much about a bike with over 200 hours can clash with the reality of trying to sell one. While seasoned riders and mechanics often reassure us that modern bikes can handle high hours if properly maintained, it's a whole different story when it...

At what juncture does a dirt bike accumulate too many hours? What constitutes excessive hours, and what potential issues might arise? Let's consider a two-stroke model with over 200 hours on its clock, single track ridden only, but with only 40 hours on the top-end rebuild. Would this be a bike...

For any Enduro race fans Hall of Famer Warren Thatxer is with the Canadian ISDE team in Argentina sending daily race reports and posting them on the Northumberland Trail Riders website. ISDE Argentina With the season wrapping up and the riding areas starting to close (Northumberland County...

I did my research before I bought my hitch carrier. The PA bends and flexes, and bounces around when driving and most people have a difficult time unloading and loading their bike. I see lots of them in the parking lots and most people will swear it's the absolute best there is. The PA units...

With the forest open, I went for a ride. Not good! Only a small portion of the forest is accessible and where you can ride is very limited. You can see lots of damage and the clean-up along the roads. Some of the single tracks were blocked with clean-up debris or fallen trees. The forest...

It looks like someone got what they wanted and shut the place down. Their FB page says the business is done! Too bad, I guess too many complaints from locals, the fair grounds, and even "pro" riders who did not like the fact the tack was not built for them. (I heard this from track owners...

Let's look at a ZX-6R and a KX450, between the two it is a $2K difference. Both "can" be taken to the track from the showroom. To make both go "faster" on the track money would need to be spent. But, let's put that aside. What does $2K buy you? In the case of the ZX-6R may be better value...

With dirt bikes, you can have it go end-over-end land upside down, in the mud. Kick it over, pick it up and it will start every time. With a street bike if falls over on the kickstand and it's a $1000 in damage. But some of these street bikes have engines that will need little maintenance put...

Wow-what is it with “Competition” dirt bikes the average cost of 250 and 450 is $10K. For $10K you get a front brake, a back break and small single-cylinder engine and that’s it. On some models, you get a front light and backlight, but these are very basic. But for a street bike, you get high...

I was over at GP bikes the other day they had some Gas Gas trials bikes. They said they are going to bring in the entire Gas Gas line. With KTM buying a majority share of Gas Gas we are know going to have three colours to pick from White, Orange and Red. All these are pretty much the same...
