I rode 197 back in May and it was outstanding. The gravel part is a bit gnarley but we had not problems handing it with PR4s. The fact that part if it is gravel probably accounts for the lack of traffic on the fantastic paved parts. We did not see another vehicle and even had time for a photo...

The new BMW S1000XR and Ducati Multi put out some pretty serious power. I saw a recent S1000XR review and they dyno'd it at 150 hp at the wheel. The Duc was about 20 HP shy on that. From what I hear the Caponord's semi active suspension puts the Ducati Skyhook to shame it just needs that V4...

I spend a lot of time riding down there. As a matter of fact I was in Williamsport Labour Day Weekend and tried a couple of new roads that I hadn't done before. One that's really close to Williamsport but pretty short is 477 between Rosencrans and Selona. There are lot's of Amish in that area so...

The new Tuono is one of my favorite bikes and I'd love to own one. However, the only riding I really do is touring so giving up the comfort of my Multistrada for the brutish fun of the Tuono is probably not going to happen. If Aprilia drops the V4 into the Caponord I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

My sentiments exactly. Even on my way to PA I tiptoe my way through NY state at exactly the speed limit.

The only thing extreme is my lack of mountain biking skills. :lmao:

Yes! That's what they called it at the bike shop. The bike is a pretty low end Ghost from MEC that I bought to see how I liked the sport. I'm enjoying it so will likely be upgrading to a full suspension with some better components next year.

Front wheel caught a rut and bent resulting in me supermanning over the bars. It was actually pretty funny. Better picture of wheel.

I just started mountain biking this summer and have a great trails near my home in Oakville. I enter Bronte Creek Provincial Park from the east side (Upper Middle Road and Bronte Rd. The trail runs along the east bank of Bronte Creek and the first 4KMs are very easy. You can cross to the north...

Pennsylvania. Leaving Saturday morning and setting up in Williamsport for a couple of nights then heading back home on Monday. Hopefully the NEXUS lanes move quickly.

I have a 2011 Multistrada and the only time it's been in the shop was for the 24,000 KM valve check and belt change. It was about an $800 bill. It costs no more to maintain than any Japanese bike I've owned.

Happy to hear you're relatively okay Kiwi. Sounds like it could have been much worse.

I think you're right. I did a day trip down across the state line into Georgia from Robbinsville a couple of months ago when riding in the Smokey Mountains. That area around Vogel State park and Suches GA has some outstanding roads. Well worth the ride down there if you're at the tail of the...

What an awesome finish. The last corner incident was just 2 champions going at it and being a competitive as they can be. Those 3 on the podium have just that little bit more edge than the rest of the field. They will fight tooth and nail for the win and don't want to accept anything less. I...

Lol. Perfect.

Looks like it was a pretty rough day at Pikes Peak with Rider Carl Sorensen going over a cliff and several peaple being struck by lightning. R.I.P Carl. http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/Pikes-Peak-Hill-Climb-Activity-Suspended-Thursday-Due-To-Reported-Deadly-Accident-309869581.html

Oh my. He's probably from Florida............or Ontario.

That's the douchiest part of the whole thing. I guess you have no regard for your own life or the lives of others if you ride like that.
