    Giant Loop Great Basin bag

    Terribly sorry everybody, I haven't checked in in months. This bag is long since SOLD. I have an almost unused Giant Loop Great Basin bag in my garage. Having been in service only a couple of times, it is in fantastic condition, no rips, tears, or nicks, not even smudges. Only a bit of spray...

    What helmet for a dual sport bike?

    The two most common DS helmets are the Arai XD and the Shoei Hornet DS. I have the Shoei. Great lid.

    bicycle stability

    Here's an interesting Cornell University video exploring theories of bicycle stability. Of course, it applies equally to motorized 2-wheelers as well. The video is on this page: http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/April11/bicycle.html

    Is hypocrasy a life sentence?

    I was one of the pioneers of the "RLC" - Really Loud Car, back in the '80s. At the shop where I worked in Winnipeg we were installing idiotic audio systems right at the start of such stuff. I talked a lot of young fellows into mortaging their future for high current amps and subwoofers. 10...

    Pilot Road 3 tires malfunction and cause crash

    I agree, I wouldn't sweat it at all. Michelin is a great company who has been making great tires. One failure does not make a trend.

    This.... is ART?

    Art is of course in the eye of the beholder. In my eye, the process is nasty, the result pedestrian.

    Blue Ridge Parkway June 25-28.

    They take the speed limits on Skyline and BRP rather seriously, I understand. Huge fines can be earned.

    BMW Bikes?

    I think the S1000 has been sold artificially cheaply to create a market disruption. It seems to have worked.

    can an average non biker tell the difference between different brand of SS?

    I have been riding for thirty years and can barely tell the difference between the cookie cutter supersports. Joe civilian doesn't have a chance.

    BMW Bikes?

    I guess you're a glass half empty kind of a guy. There are incidences of each of the things you mentioned, but they are statistically small occurrences when you consider the number of GSs that have been sold, and the cumulative number of miles that have been put on them. I would imagine that...
