But he's right. As fun as it is to dream about hooliganism.

My Grandma said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

That's on my list, just need the time. Long June hours = blackflies from heck.

The slo-mo of the tumbling bike was cool.

Me, I'd just be thrilled to be paying less than $500 for insurance on a bike.

Day 1: Toronto to Front Royal Virginia one long 800km day, can slab it to make it easy. Day 2: Front Royal via Skyline drive to someplace halfway down Blue Ridge Parkway. Day 3: Rest of BRP to some home base in North Carolina Day 4: US 129 Tail of the Dragon, Cherahola Skyway etc. back to Home...

I learned when I was about 10 or 11. At that age, it's easy 'cuz you know no fear or embarrassment. Of course, I had had lots of experience driving farm machinery and the like by then as well. And the gears, being still carved from stone back then, were easier to master.

The two sets of Rok Straps I have do not feature hooks. They have webbing loops at both ends. Not sure I want the hooks.

On the topic of tents, I have one of these: http://dualsportplus.com/camping_gear/nomad_tents.html It's maybe a bit big for camping on an SS, but when you have a gravel truck of a GS it's just right. Super roomy inside, easy to set up, and has the huge vestibule where you can get your bike...

Really? Well I'll be darned.

Rok Straps are infinitely superior to bungees. Available at a motorcycle accessory retailer near you.

Ooops. Amend my post to say "on most bikes..."

The sparkplug does not get it's spark from the battery. Unless it is fuel injected - which it's not I'm sure - the battery has very little to do with (kick) starting. You could make your job easier by warming the crankcase oil, making the engine turn easier, and make sure the carb(s) is/are...

Depending on the size you need, you can get them so stupidly cheap now (I saw $99 yesterday at Rona) that it's hardly worth bothering to find one used.

I have used Tom Trucker moving several times. They seem to somehow get good guys who aren't meth heads.

Me too. Cool, but why, or what for?

Oh dude, that's so nasty. Even if I scrubbed it like there's no tomorrow and there was no whiz residue left at all, I am sure on sunny days I would smell phantom piss until it dove me insane.

I keep thinking about a K1200s or a K1300s. Such nice cycles. I fear that I would have no driver's license left after a very short time (never mind the S1000). They are also no good for bashing through the forest. Right now with a 16 year old in the house with a moto license insurance won't...

Me, I just keep bashing my GS through the forest.

Sick bike Garry. Not exactly my style, but a technological marvel. I am sure you're going to love it.
