    GPS's for finding twisty roads?

    I have one of those 1000 units, Garmin 595LM, it does find some good roads from time to time, but for that feature, not worth it. However a lot of good roads have been mapped out on this site, most of them you can just import them into your google maps...

    I rode a wee-Strom and I'm not disappointed

    Purchased a 2017 Super Duke GT, and have a 2012 DL650 Vstrom, just could not sell her. Both have different experiences. The Strom has been bullet proof at 65,000 kms she still sports the original chain and nothing has needed replacement. The ride is waaaay more comfortable wind/noise wise (Givi)...

    Sport tires on gravel road

    Should have no issues, just go a little slower you may see tracks in the road where car tires wear down the gravel follow that. Use more of your back brake then front for slowing down.

    PSA: Kerosene is better and way cheaper than name brand chain cleaners

    Same however after it rains I clean with Kerosene, there is so much road dirt and grime on the chain it feels like sandpaper. 54,000 kms so far on my 2012 vstrom. Still has original chain and sprockets.

Drew MacEwen), Oregon (State Senator Jeff Kruse ), and Montana (State Sen. Russel Tempel) have all introduced bills that, if passed, would allow lane-splitting in...

    Port Dover: What is the draw?

    Just got back from PD13. Its a hoot. Saw the naked/thong guy directing traffic, had a pizza slice and drink for 5 bucks and live music. What was really fun was looking at the thousands of bikes parked and some rather flamboyant characters . Its amazing what individuals do to make what they ride...
