Only two green queens and a blue frenchman? Is that a typo? That sort of spare change wouldn't survive the price list at a Toronto cafe! Let's see if I can survive the downpour of FAQs and acronyms. Then I might have some questions for you and that lemur guy.

How does that work? Are there places that allow mountain bikes/trials bikes but not other off-road vehicles? I would have thought that gasoline engine = mark of the beast when it came accessibility. Mulling over a change from street to something else. Paying for the privilege of getting...

Cruising around on the remains of the day is certainly enjoyable. Work has kept me from day-tripping this summer and commuting is a bit stale now, so I was forced to discover the charms of dusk. An old practice route makes for a perfect jaunt. Surprisingly, the sky is still free of...

Rain. Rain is gonna make all the mentioned problems even worse, plus the bonus of reduced traction and braking. If you feel the bike squirm a bit, hear popping noises and are near wetlands, don't look down. They're frogs.

Absolutely. Japanese designers are a curious bunch. They can come up with some really great visual designs (even when hindered by price-points). Then, they forget themselves and hand us the Gladius. The newer SV is a step in the right direction, but it remains less coherent than the 1st/2nd gen...

Scary music and jump cuts are like, total proof man. I have nothing against gay frogs, though. Very chill dudes and they always pay their bills on time.

Have that wiper attachment on my heated gloves. It's easier to swipe with the fingertips (city) or nod my helmet slightly from side-to-side (highway). The first company to offer a decent visor wiper system will clean up (in both senses).

So you're saying there's hope? I wonder how few actually made it off the showroom floor. Like the first gen SV650N. Only saw it once, on Kijiji, a few years back. Anyhow, it's good to see HD looking at other segments of the market. Let's see what they deliver.

It never came to North America, but Yamaha's Bulldog (used the V-Star 1100 engine) was another cool character too.

I like the look of that naked (not really a streetfighter--a proper sportbike without fairings). Sort of what they should have done with the Sportster all along, though I like Sportys too. The ADV bike is...well I just don't get the whole ADV thing. The class as a whole looks ugly + ponderous...

You know, there isn't anything wrong with wanting (or buying) another bike. Wants and needs change. An elaborate bullet point justification shouldn't be necessary (though most of us probably do it anyway). If it floats your boat, sell off your other bikes and do it. Then post a thread about the...

I should hope that would be obvious to the OP. Otherwise, he stands to enjoy rites of passages.

If filled with diesel and hooked up to the engine, what do you think the range would be on that sucker? @Trials: That numberplate tank is a good example of thinking outside the box (tank?). Very neat. Running out of gas is a rite of passage for any rider, preferably in the middle of nowhere...

I encounter a similar problem from time to time, riding home from work. Once the stinging starts its only a matter of time before one (or both) eyes clamp shut. Extreme runny nose too. Human skin lubricates itself via sebaceous glands. It's oily, traps dirt and mixes with sweat. Eyeballs hate...

While every rider and commute is different, getting the right gear (and bike) makes all the difference. I switched over to a scooter and it's a pretty rare day I don't commute, even over the last few weeks. Those powerful crosswinds and naked lighting bolts were a bit crazy yesterday, though...

Everyone except Brian was beating the poor thing, just in different locations.

Merch sales would almost certainly be used to launder drug money. Drug money that the government wants now that wacky tobaccy is legal. I'm sure that the 1%ers are no *angels*, but they don't wander around with openly carried firearms either. Buy your souvenirs and enjoy the day.

I think we need that now, switch the slogan to "loud headphones save lives" and then everyone is happy. As for a proper fantasy build, there's no doubt: an electric chopper with Telsa coils instead of mufflers, so I could rock Dio via zeusaphone, shock brain-dead boomers and whip luxury cars in...

Honda blue-sky thinking for the moment: RC166 Replica Super-Duper Magna (+factory sidecar option) CB1100R CX650 Turbo Redux Proper Akira-style Vultus

Come on, I'd love to see a Chinese CBX clone just for the poor workmanship alone, not to mention the fireworks if it actually started.
