MV Agusta 675 F3 PERIOD! Its soooo beautiful, sleek, sexy, narrow, light, agile, flick able. Run your hands over her curves and feel her creases. She’ll make you weep, (in your pants). Just sitting still she begs you to throw a leg over and make silly varoom-varoom sounds. But, the MV triple...

I was out Sunday afternoon. Saw only a few sport bikes. However, so many group of cruisers I lost count of ‘em all. I was wanting to ride around Rice Lake but got away far too late and had to turn around and head back less than 1/2 distance. I did manage to get as far as county road 9 south of...

Motorcycle people are a special breed regardless of the brand they ride. This story is just that much better IMNO because of the Italian connection plus I know some of the key players. Click here to read a great feel good story.

Red Dog, it’s your response that’s garbage. You are talking about two of the oldest helmet manufactures still in business today. Thirty years ago they were not only competing against each other but also with the likes of Bell and Simpson. Today there is even more competition. Shoei has won many...

I can’t speak for others but I myself have complained to Financial Services Ontario as well as my M.P.P. over and over again. As you can imagine I have had little effect to date. However, I did win a moral victory over Riders Plus after registering a formal complaint with the Registered...

Yellow journalism at it’s finest. There isn’t a manufacturer out there that hasn’t had both major and minor problems with their products. I’ll bet that if you look hard enough you’ll discover technical bulletins or full on recalls for every model built by which ever manufacturer you wish to pick...

After nearly 40 years of riding and racing I’ve worn all the major brands. Started out with Bell but switch to Shoei because they use to have reps at the races doing service, inspections and offering replacement when they found detrimental damage. It didn’t hurt that I found them a better...

Major, I agree with your #1 point. If a person increases the value of their ride and expects to be compensated for that should they make a claim then they have to know they'll need to pay a higher premium. Unfortunately, as much as I agree with your #2 point, it is not how the insurance...

I just went through this very issue. I had a devil of a time getting quotes for my new bike as no one had any info on it. I started a WTF type thread about this some time ago. The week before I was to take delivery the wife was able to get a conditional quote based on a similar model from our...

Krystle Lopez rides with an Albuquerque NM group and is a nurse at the local VA hospital. She posts on the Ducati Monster Forums (ducatimonsterforums.org) as Ducmouse (or Ducmouse the Sytaxor ....not a misspelling...) in the local club section, NMMR, in case you want to leave her feedback. I'm...

nevermind

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the number of people who are not aware of "speedo error" with all types of vehicles. Not everyone grew up with a father like mine who, among many other things, rebuilt / recalibrated mechanical speedometers, (on the kitchen table). However it has been in the...

Roger, a $200 increase does seem a bit much but... how do you think I felt when I opened my statement back in 2005 and found a $2000 increase. Yes, TWO GRAND! Same company, Echelon. YES! I SAID ECHELON! And guess who my broker was, Riders Plus. YES! I SAID RIDERS PLUS! Oh and understand that...

Not quite. Acceleration speeds up the gyroscopic effect on the front wheel. The faster the wheel spins the more force that is generated causing the wheel to right itself. Be glad you weren’t maxed out like this poor sod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1W5HN40bpw This is the Arrow damper that...

Sorry but that’s the way it is. Non-current left overs, demonstrators and used models are all fair game. You might get a better trade in value or some goodies added into a deal at one store over another but base price will be what it is. It’s not just Ducati either. I looked at a Triumph 675R at...

Back in the day the quick guys all ran reverse shift pattern, (also known as GP shift). Guess what? Not that I was one of them but all my bikes have been reverse pattern. Now if you combine reverse pattern with clutchless shifting you get lower lap times. Plus, it’s just a plain cool feeling...

I believe it depends on the ad and the seller who posted it. Words like “rare” and “limited” are very over used and buyers need to beware. Ask for proof and verify it yourself. My wife and I have owned (and sold) several extremely rare, limited production motorcycles. Whenever writing an ad I...

I don't read legalese but I think this is the contentious portion. (1.5) Insurers are prohibited from using a geographical region in which an insured person resides as an element in classifying risks for a coverage or category of automobile insurance. There is a lot more in this bill but I'll...

Times sure have changed. I received my one and only speeding ticket on a motorcycle back in the summer of 1983. Because of the speed, (155 in an 80) I was obliged to appear in court. When the day came the officer was a no show and the prosecutor didn't have any notes on the case. I thought I was...
