The front half looks nice. I don't care for the jacked-up, spartan arse end. You couldn't even strap down a sandwich on that "passenger" seat, let alone seat an adult human behind.

It takes me a fairly short time to decide on which bikes or models I'm going to choose from, but then it takes weeks or months to get one because I'm buying used for the most part. The only time I made an impulse move was trading a 2006 KTM 950 ADV for a twin shock Harley Whatever-the-f-it-was...

I find it odd that these things are so unregulated. In a country where all levels of government apply regulations to so many things, many of which have such insignificant impact I can't believe that no level of government hasn't grabbed the reins. I thought the news of injured kids on scooters...

Had what appeared to be a husband and wife team go around me while I was trying to back into a parking space at the grocery store this evening. Both were on the 4 wheel style and moved at quite a clip. The wife went behind me and the husband in front. He was riding side saddle because he had a...

It's just another example of the kabuki theatre that governance has become. Creating the appearance of action without the messiness or effort of having to do anything. Sure, we're recycling all this crap, except the stuff we incinerate (per Mike) and the stuff we can't sell that goes into the...

Condition aside...It's a Suzuki DR600. If the "Full Floater" sticker on the swingarm wasn't enough of a giveaway, the SUZUKI on the side case should be. Either the seller can't read or he's just an idiot, and reading his description and looking at the cobbled together gas tank, I'm thinking...

"Turns heads everywhere", yes but not for the reason you think/hope.

"Give them another penny" That would give them 2, doubling their cash reserves!

I believe there's also a requirement for a gear position indicator (neutral light).

But unfortunately there's too many of them for the volume of work available now and in the future.

I have to agree. Reasonably priced, responds quickly to communication and delivers when he says he will. I can't see any reason to go anywhere else.

This is the corporate equivalent of a dead body farting.

LOVED that book. The world he rode in is pretty much gone. His follow-up was also an excellent read, and not a melancholy trip down memory lane but an exploration of what's different now.

Very true. Unfortunately some years ago governments at numerous levels decided that part of their purpose, and by extension part of the purpose of crown corporations and the like was to employ as many people as possible. My late father in-law told me about the abundance of flaggers on road...

It's good to hear that their delivery scheduling is accurate as possible. But I still come back to the priced from thing and model allocation. I inquired about a R1200RS base model a few years ago, and was told that none were coming in/no allocation to Canada. So that means they really AREN'T...

I wonder how many of the people considering or likely to buy a current model BMW cross-shop brands. There are certainly options in each category that will perform much the same for much less.

I can't imagine. My poor old overworked brain cannot comprehend that price.

I do remember the XR1000. It had actual XR type heads with the exhaust ports both coming out in front. Harley f'd that up by putting it in their cheapest sportster package, the XLX61 which was an ironhead but set the style for the upcoming 883. I remember the XR not selling at all too, but both...

I see your point, but my 1st. street bike was an 81 Honda CB400T that mimicked the appearance of the CBF's of the day. The little 3 valve per cylinder twin was unquestionably boring in it's own right, but I rode the wheels off it, and beat the HELL out of it trying to keep up with a buddy on his...

I have heard them at full flight and agree entirely. The XR750 is the coolest thing ever made. Purposeful, simple, muscular but refined. Absolutely brilliant. I have lusted after the Storz XR conversions since the 90's. It's a sh#t-ton of money to build one, and then you have a bike that you...
