I remember that issue, actually I still have that issue as I have I-don't-know-how-many complete years of CC from 1980 until they turned to crap in the 2000's. I've always thought it ridiculous that people profess to be outraged by images like that suggesting it encourages such behavior as...

Well, technically they aren't really "making" it......

Well if I have to, then I'll take the TZR. I know it's not as fast as it looks but I always liked them. To bad he didn't know when to quit with the money burner on the TDR.

Oh my god, that picture you painted is alarming. To say the least. I always thought (hoped?) the, "don't touch the front brake" mindset was just an exaggeration.

I'm with you, range is important on an ADV especially if you go exploring. If you're a bit enthusiastic with the throttle off road (and why WOULDN'T be?) fuel economy suffers. The piece of mind that comes with +/- 400km of range is a desirable feature for me.

Honestly....no, and perhaps most disappointingly I see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that would motivate me to pry open my wallet, or even go to a dealer to get a closer look. Every year there's at least something that warrants a look, but not this year. The RE Himalayan 750 is fine, as is their cafe...

Yikes! Your observations make me wonder how much and how long the 110lb pound wife will ride, and what's her bro hubby going to say when she inevitably drops the barge onto it's side, hopefully at a stop instead of a curve with unexpected sand? I also have my doubts that bro would embrace...

What's most alarming is that they likely tried to sell the dealership and found no takers. It doesn't bode well for motorcycling in Ontario.

Yeah, it's debatable. There's a sizable portion of the younger demographic that are interested in motorcycles for whom HD is nothing but a target of ridicule and derision. They view them as nothing more than overpriced props used in one cosplay or another, whether it's Sons of Anarchy outlaws...

Every trip on the 401, regardless if it's in the car, truck or on the bike reminds me of my mortality.

Saw a kid maybe 13 or 14 on an e-bike with no pedals, not wearing ANY helmet blast through a construction zone within a 40kph school zone going at least 60kph here in Port Hope. The main road in that area is a mess with a local construction company charged with replacing some water pipes (since...

Pretty sure you could wear assless chaps your Versys if you're so inclined. :) Why not go the Rob Halford route and get a sportster then? There will probably be a low km, older evo model out there that could be had relatively cheap, and if it doesn't work out it would likely be an easy(ish)...

I have no experience with their reliability as I haven't owned one, but I always liked them and the speed twin is the one I liked the most. I sat on one of the 900 cc versions at the MC show in February though and found the seat to footpeg relationship too cramped for my bad knees. I know it's...

No, I bought new ones from Walridge. Not expensive, and I prefer OEM parts in general.

I liked the Michelin Anakees on my KTM 1090. Predictable on loose surfaces, excellent on pavement, wet or dry and they lasted well. They're on my Moto Guzzi too, though they must be original equipment as the bike had just over 5k on it when I got it.

I have FINALLY taken the cold plunge into replacing the wiring harness on my 1974 Norton commando. I cannot describe adequately what a previous owner created. There was a pigtail under the tank (about 12" long) terminating in multiple connectors not plugged into anything and 4 or 5 other paired...

Isn't that essentially the NT1100? What people need/SHOULD buy has virtually no influence on what they do buy, in terms of motorcycles at least. How many people who ride any version of an HD bloat-glide ride any further than the local HD dealer and local gathering places? And to be fair how...

A friend of mine works in (sells) security software to large organizations. He said the services that he sells, and stuff like cloudflare etc. can slow connections down to the point of failure depending on the software in use by the site. Perhaps that's an explanation for

Couldn't log on with MS Edge or Google Chome. Page wouldn't load, and would time out. Installed FireFox and here I am.

Tried it briefly. Dug deeper into the gravel so I quit while ahead, or rather while NOT IN AS BAD A SITUATION AS I COULD HAVE BEEN. That rally, is MADE for KLR's and the like. I stuck to easy gravel routes but a KLR or similar could access some really, really, REALLY nice off road riding...
