Geez...didn't mean to start a fight guys! Haha. To answer earlier question I PLAN on riding 8-10 hrs a day but I can only do that if it's interesting, ie little slabbing. I'm an old fart and didn't really get the touring bug til last year so I have only been as far as Vermont, so really...

Yes, there IS a cure for that .... You just have to wait until you're 50 and bald like me!

Looking to take a solo trip for about 5 - 6 days. I really want to see the Cabot Trail but I don't think I can do it in the time I have. Have any of you travelled to coastal Maine? I'm assuming that the scenery is going to be very similar and it's more doable in the time I have. If I ride to...

i bought this to lower the seat height and it is way more comfortable than it looks. But i'm getting too damn old and so am going back to the stock seat because the lower seat is too hard on my knees. I picked it up off someone on the SV-\portal who had it professionally done in the \usa. It...

Have any of you taken a route through Quebec etc one way and a route through the USA the other? Are there roads worth exploring or should I Plan a route through USA both ways?. I've taken one trip to Vermont and the route was based on info from this forum, especially 17 east. Any...

Wait ..... What? ..... You mean to say there are TANKS in some of these shots? I gotta go back and have another look!

Check out gearscanada.ca They have a good selection and quality is excellent. Ive got the Navigator tail bag as well as the tank bag with map pocket. Website is informative as it gives all dimensions as well as CAPACITY which is good to know for comparison. Plus they are a Canadian...

The new issue of Cycle Canada has a test that rates it highly. The test bike had a Yamaha shield on it that they recommended adding for the price...around 150 I think. Have loved the looks of the Stryker since I first saw it a couple years ago and I'd put it highest on my list when my old...

+1 to this .... Especially the last part about flying past that car on the right ... Rider should have noted it was stopped or slowed for a reason .... What if there was a left turning car there and not a pedestrian? We'd all be reading about it in the Fallen Riders section and nobody wants...

That is sweet set-up but how do you steer that thing with such a wide tire on the front

You'll never get yours to sound like an inline 4 but for sure an aftermarket slip-on will do wonders. I had an 89 Suzuki gs500e which was the first year of that wonderful little bike and the only year it came with factory clip-ons. That thing sounded sweet with a Supertrapp brushed aluminum...

Thanks for the advice ... I've ordered a new one and am chucking the old one ...

Haha. I like that last line!!
