Thanks...when you put it that way the answer seems so obvious !!

Got the winter itch to get something different for the next riding season. Have been looking into 2 dual purpose bikes. They are same model and both are 2009s. I have not seen them in person yet as they are a 3 hr drive away, but in photos they both look in similar shape. One is a private...

is this a good show to go to if I'm looking for a new but non-current model?? such as a new 2010 DR650 or a 2012 V-Strom demo? I've never been to the December one [2 hours away] and would like to have a look and maybe sit on a few I'm interested in so I can eliminate or add them to my winter...

I'm in the same boat ... bought a duallie to ride around town etc and saving my other for longer touring. Matter of fact, its a KLX 250S that I freakin love. I found that if you google your question, then go to the "Dualsport" forum and the "ADVRider" forum answers it will help a lot. I wish...

Thanks for posting this one ... I'd never heard of it and its great that its Canadian and from what I checked out so far mainly ontario so some of the rides are actually doable for many of us without spending a fortune or being lucky enough to have 6 weeks vacation ie the Pacific Coast Highway...

Oh great, I don't friggin get enough done at work or at home as it is!

As I'm sure many of you have, now that the bike has been put away I've been going online and looking at ways to tweak my bike or replace it with something more suitable for my aching old knees! I saw a bike advertised that was at an "enterprise" that deals only in used vehicles, mainly cars but...

yeah, my mistake .... was thinking of the early model Speed Triples which i think were 855 cc but Macs is right, they are 1050 cc now. I also got confused with original post. I KNOW it said Street Triple, but my brain thought Speed Triple. The 675 engine has got great reviews but as other...

If you are at an age where insurance isnt too much what about just keeping the 250 if you love it, and pick up a used V-Strom for use touring. You can pick up one with higher mileage and with all the farkles that'll do you for a few years. Plus those things are ugly enough you dont need to put...

yeh.. this has been going on a while now. Just for laughs i contacted the person as if i was definitely interested [fake name and one-off email address of course] Her sob story was that she had this beautiful R1 as part of a divorce settlement with her ex who took off overseas. She was to...

Congrats on finding a new joy! But holy crap, you are one brave soul by starting out your riding career in November!!

Just wondering if anyone has come across any super shopping deals they would like to pass on. Some of the sites I usually check out [SBTG, Revzilla, etc] so far dont seem to be having any special deals that day and some of the other lesser knowns [Jaffrum, JakeWilson, etc] just seem to have...

+1 to what Macs wrote I'm effin 55 years old and still havent outgrown the desire to crank it once in a while on my SV1000. If this was my first bike I woulda high-sided plenty of times. Years of riding experience has taught me when to wind it up [touch wood]. I expect a 900 cc Street...

i drove my litre SV over to the shop where I store it and holy crap was the back end ever sliding around...when the roads are cold monster torque can be unfriendly! But i thought it was so nice i went home and took my old duallie out for a few hours...in the woods and back roads cant get going...

this is almost as bad as the "racing" law where you are guilty right off the bat. definitely needs a re-write. I live out of town so a cab is out of the question and I always thought I was ok just sitting in the parking lot of a pub or something and having a nap for an hour or so. I'm not...

Wow, those are excellent deals at 50% off! I just returned from a 6 day run through NY,VT,NH,RI,ME and was searching for a tent before I left because I didn't want to get soaked in my Walmart special. I left it too late to order online and have it here so I stopped in Watertown NY where there...

Am interested on what response the OP gets to question bout being easy to move bike around on it. I have a slight slope into my garage from my gravel drive and sometimes it's a b***h getting my beast backed out. (the gravel makes it difficult to back IN after use) Wondering if I could ride in...

OP: in your list you have Pro6 at Calabogie on september 10. That Pro6 day isnt at Calabogie; its at the Shannonville (long track circuit) Hope thats a better fit for you.

just got home today from a 5 day run through VT, NH, RI, ME, MASS, NY, CT and did notice a lot of troopers and sheriff vehicles.... What worked for me was to keep at the posted max within any town or village whether I was near any other vehicles or not, but be careful cuz they can be...

get well soon! I know we arent supposed to debate who is at fault or whatever in these posts, but you said that the collision was your fault. However, doesnt the car in front of you have some responsibility to ensure the way is clear before making that turn. [I'm assuming by your post that...
