    which bike is good for ALL weather conditions?

    Bear in mind I'm not arguing with you, just trying to understand. I can see how stepping off a V4 regularly running 5000-7500 would give you the bllllaaattt sensation on NC700 but would you get that sensation if all you knew was KLR? My sons DR650 falls flat on it's face at 6000rpm and nobody...

    which bike is good for ALL weather conditions?

    I'm struggling coming to terms with this. My only experience with the 700 is sitting on it. It did feel very light, weight down low like an old BMW airhead. It certainly felt more balanced than my top heavy Triumph Bonny. Speaking of which, the Bonny has no low end torque so I have to spin it up...

    A Difficult Spouse....

    Sitting on the flower bed at Belfountain and watching old ladies wobble out of the coffee shop parking lot gives credibility to this statement, in general.

    which bike is good for ALL weather conditions?

    While this is true I'll happily report that the Shinko 705 series of 75/25 street/dirt tires work quite well at legal+20% speeds. No real compromise at those speeds.

    which bike is good for ALL weather conditions?

    Vstom 650 would be first choice for pure utilitarian purposes right out of the box. Has nicer ride for those not charmed by thumper. KLR requires to much fiddlin'n fixes from stock.

    March Against Monsanto - May 25th

    Saw something on Monsanto on TV couple yrs. ago. Chilling to say the least. Add that to the long list of reasons why we're going to hell in a hand.........last one, please close the gate behind you. Stop having children. Why be so selfish and vicious to some you supposedly love? Will not attend...

    Broken ankle ... ends my riding season

    Always look at the bright side. Spend more quality time on GTAM. Whenever something bad happens to me that prevents me from doing something I love I always think this is probably the year I was going to die doing what I love. I know it's a great cliche but that's all it is. One time at band camp...

    Bye Bye Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

    Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! Wow, that is astounding. I didn't realize the self-righteous would make such a fine distinction to separate bred gambling related crimes and addictions from good old wholesome losing all your money to the house.

    missing person report

    Lawyer commented on suspects rumpled and unshaven appearance in court. Is not how suspect normally presents himself, as he's an upstanding, clean cut and honourable member of society. Then every picture showing the suspect at work, play, vacation whatever showed him with 5 day shadow and/or...

    What are the best features in a track trailer?

    I would use the rubber torsion type suspension. The axle(s) can be used as a frame stiffener and it can ride lower if that's important. Of course a Luggable Loo goes without saying.
