I've ridden both, admittedly with a decade or more gap. The 650 is a bigger, better highway bike while the Himi is a better ADVer. What shocked me was the punch from the 40hp RE powerplant - lots of midrange and plenty of juice for highway speeds (better than my KLR650 had). Different tools for...

OTTAWA — Canada marked Remembrance Day on Tuesday — 80 years after the Second World War ended and 72 years since the end of the Korean War. Only a few thousand Canadian veterans of those conflicts are still alive. Veterans Affairs Canada provided these estimates based on the 2021 census: First...

Let's be careful out there. The combination of wet leaves, slick roads and close to freezing temperatures make for very sketchy road conditions - two wheels or four. Getting dark earlier doesn't help either.

I was diagnosed about 5 years ago as well. At this point the doctor says it's something I'll die with rather than from. Get checked out, what's the worst that can happen ?

2026 Royal Enfield GT750R - track only at this point.

I went through that with a Scarborough big box store. They wouldn't budge on their price for a well used Nissan X-Terra so I walked. The sales guy ran out into the parking lot begging me to come back. Nope.

It's all Biden's fault.

Regulations are worthless unless enforced - hence the problem.

Where are the pedals, zip tied to the frame somewhere ?

FWIW, since my original post I played e-mail tag with Pirelli North America (U.S. based) for about a month - Pirelli Canada punted even though it was a Transport Canada recall. About a month later a tire magically appeared at my local shop. We filled out a work order, sent it and the tire back...

Re: braking performance. In my constant tinkering and endless quest for improvement the next step will be EBC HH pads - we'll see if that makes any significant change.

Beringer makes a VERY EXPENSIVE bolt-on upgrade, IMO tough to justify. http://www.beringerbrakes.us/shop.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ4X0dleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFRTFh5NkZDWFZsanFCV0x6AR5L2-xYitfTxHCZyTEQ096baQGs8T8fJBXdD8Ec-udQbMxMIQDaEYTNmeTpBw_aem_heBHmLV42sZOJeowTi2tRw#!/ROYAL-ENFIELD/c/44065477/limit=9

An interesting theory has surfaced about the rear brake problems I and others were having with our 650s, and as it turns out on some of the 411 Himalayans. There may have been a bad batch of rear brake lamp switches that were allowing minute amounts of air into the system over time. A fellow in...
