    Backpacks - Ogio Mach 3 or kriega r20

    Never used the Mach 3. I have a Kriega R20, R25 and R30 and have owned mtb specific packs too. No pack is perfect. Just like bikes, you have to go with what works for you most of the time and doesn't annoy the ever living p!ss out of you. You can load up the R20 with as much weight as...

    Anyone Else Braving the cold?

    I ride most days (some days I have nowhere to go) year round and I think that cagers give motos more of a berth in the winter. Although I don't particularly think it's due to any particular altriusm to motos. Rather I think it's due to : - when attempting to drive aggressively and...

    Big Bike Thread

    I'm intrigued at the notion of freedome that a big ADV can bring but unfortunately only have space for one bike and these 800cc+ ADV bikes are of limited use for me. Big is a relative term and is situational to boot. You know if the bike is a bit of handful for you. I'm 150 lbs and...

    Motorcycle Super Show Jan 2017 - Whose going?

    At least according to me, the tinted visors I've used have this very distinct and harsh cutoff line just below your immediate area of fine focus. Perhaps this is not an issue for most but I don't find it comfortable. One shouldn't have this problem with sunglasses since they sit...

    Gifting myself a headlight; will it fit?

    The reviews on amazon.com seem favourable https://www.amazon.com/AOSI-Projector-Headlight-Davidsion-Motorcycle/dp/B01A80OTIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483125872&sr=8-1&keywords=AOSI+7+Inch+Round+LED+Projector Replacing the entire headlight with a projector setup like this is the way to go.

    The central highlands - Travel To Vietnam

    I've only been to Siem Reap myself. It's very safe from what I can tell. Downtown Toronto in the summer is way sketchier in comparison. Very cheap too! I recall $1 USD feet massages for one hour! We wandered around a bit drunk in the downtown Siem Reap core late at night and it seemed...

    The central highlands - Travel To Vietnam

    If you do a google search on it, you'll see this exact writeup on a bunch of websites. Very nicely done and yeah, weirdest spam I've seen in awhile in that there's factual info in here and they don't seem to be selling anything? Anyway, I moto toured some of the Central Highlands in Nov 2015...

    Home Wifi Issues....looking for advice. Any tech gurus here?

    No guru here but a couple of days ago I had some DHCP error/notification messages similar to yours; they were pertaining to a Chromecast device I just put onto my wifi network using my el cheapo TP Link router. I was getting outages every 10 to 60 minutes. What I did was manually input a DHCP...

    Parking Etiquette in the City

    I was parked where the Audi was until the guy moved it. Witnesses say it wasn't the Audi driver but rather another car which was gone by the time I took this picture. I missed my court date and had to pay $114 or so. Sucks to be me. They deliberately sent me way out of the way to the North...

    Shark Evoline vs. Shoei RF1100 vs other modular under $500

    I have a round head that fits fine in a Schuberth C3. I've never used a Shoei RF1100 but an RF1200 I tried on was way too ovalish for me and had a gap between my forehead and the RF1200's forehead pad. I own two Evoline 3's now. When brand new, the chinbar opening mechanism sticks a bit...

    Mae Hong Son Loop

    Oh is that how it works? Big trucks routinely take up your entire lane at near 80 kph almost forcing one off the road. I always thought it was a self preservation/best practice move. Never even for once thought it was a law. Some jurisdictions have rules that make no sense like the...

    Mae Hong Son Loop

    That would depend on the nature of the guided tour. I rode the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Vietnam with a guided tour but it was a private guided tour consisting of close friends. It was totally customized to what we wanted to see and the route we wanted to take. I'll remember those moments...

    Downshifting, uncertain which gear I am in

    Here's food for thought. If you rip off downshifts leaving you in the meat of the powerband with some headroom to slow down even further then ... it won't matter which gear # you're in because you'll always be in the best gear for maximum acceleration, maximum fun and maximum safety...

    Kawi H2 dummies some supercars in a straight line

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7-7_m5RxQA The MP4 traps mid 130's ... not that impressive but not exactly a slouch either. Either way, it gets creamed. Maybe that Agera R will show up soon.
