    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    So alot of industry media is saying that motorcycling is dropping (aka dieing). Sales are in fact down. I don't nessesarly believe this is a good litmus of the health of the motorcycling community. I think several factors are at play. First modern bikes are built much better and we're seeing...

    2018 Tour of Honor

    My third year of the ToH. I love the way you ride at your own pace and really enjoyed every minute of it. A great way to ride and experience new places I would have never thought to go to.

    Supercharged Kawasaki Sport Tourer Coming

    Yes concourse production did stop due to euro emisions requirements. Forced induction, direct injection and higher compression ratios help to overcome it. Several bike companies that sell in the EU market have discontinued several bikes or revised the engine's to meet euro 4 standards...

    Motorcycle Communication Systems

    Got the 10s and love everything except the mount. It is total garbage. Gave up on jurry rigging it and super glued it permanently. PITA but hope others buy 20 or higher with better clamping system.

    Supercharged Kawasaki Sport Tourer Coming

    The article I read said their gonna use a retuned h2 1000cc. The h2 street model pushes 200 hp so even a retune for flatter touque and good rideing could still mean 160 to 180 hp if the 1000 cc mill is used.

    Supercharged Kawasaki Sport Tourer Coming

    I just wonder with more brands offering a high HP touring bike what will be Yamahas and Honda's responses to keep up with the HP war? I could easily see one or both companies either upping the power or keeping cost down and going for a more cost centric market.

    3rd Gen ES Suspension Problems Poll

    Just a side note about bushing wear on inverted forks. Inverted forks experience higher levels of loading than standard forks from what I've learned. Don't know the science of it but have been told this and read about it several times from reputable places. However im sure they also have learned...

    Has anyone purchased a Top Sellerie Comfort Seat (Euro Mototard)

    You know I might get banned or reprimanded but I'm gona say it anyways. The answer used here by all the elitist old timers and such 90% of the time is the whole go search thing with links , roll eyes and a general air of aloof. Genuine good people just wanting a little bit of guidance and advice...

    Favorite Communicator Uclear, Sena, Cardo, GMRS, What?

UCLEAR is simple unit to use with limited volume and sound quality but has held up well and does the job. Tried a friends Sena 20s and was a great piece of equipment and hope next year to buy...

    Glazed pistons?

    if the bike does have the indicated issue then why donor engine? pull the top end hone the cylinders and put on new rings then reassemble and all should be awesome. A cheap fix if your willing to do a little work as parts shouldnt cost much. rings, gaskets a hone if you dont have one and all the...
