    Getting the urge for a change

    It's kind of ugly in the front while also being kind of sexy in the front. It has me a little torn. It looks fun AF to ride. I think you're gonna have a blast!

    My Track Day Summer Tour!

    Dang Russ. That was a big trip! I'm sorry it didn't play out the way you had hoped. Still, you made the most of it. I'm not sure I would have stuck with it that long.  As far as the RV is concerned, ditch it! Don't use it for smaller trips, just trade it in or sell it. Once they start having...

    Long Way Up

    I said, "If." Haha.. I don't know if that's true or not. IF someone came forward and reported that, I would feel differently about Long Way 'Round. I really liked that one and they made it seem like they busted their asses to complete it. I don't begrudge them the support trucks. Hell, I'd have...

    Long Way Up

    They really did that? If so, that's some bullshit. I liked the first one. Long Way 'Round was cool. Long Way Down kind of sucked. If they cheated and rode in the dammed van, my opinion will be much lower. As if anyone cares, but still...crap!

    Nevermind...Wrong bike.

    Not going to Alaska on a Goldwing.

    That's a sexy bike. Good thing too. OM needs all the help he can get!

    Which ADV Tourer? BMW GSA vs Super Tenere?

    Kind of a combo of all you mentioned. The GoPro never shows it correctly, but the deep parts are on hillsides, up or down, depending on which way we ride. The soil is soft, sand is in there, they get ridden, and after a rain, the running water erodes them. Actually, most of those eroded parts...

    Which ADV Tourer? BMW GSA vs Super Tenere?

    Here's a video of two buddies and I riding single track trails in Jemez, NM. A big bike wouldn't do well here but there's about 9 billion miles of forest road all through the area. Great for camping and just being outside. Anyway, at 3:04, turn it up. It was a good time to give Erick some...

    Ebike - new to the herd

    There's a decent published study that was actually done in the PNW. I don't remember if it was Portland or Seattle. Basically the question was: Will e-bikes offer any health benefit or just make the riders lazy. I don't remember all the specifics, but the jist was to give the test group e-bikes...

    Good news, bad news ...

    Umbrella girls Mac, umbrella girls. Jeez, what's wrong with you? Hahaha...I'm with the others here. Missing the racing wasn't as big of deal as you son getting to hang out with his dad. Glad you had fun.

    Which ADV Tourer? BMW GSA vs Super Tenere?

    You make a good point. I didn't consider dealer availability. I don't usually think that far ahead. Haha... On the final drive issue, the last one I heard with issues was about 2012. Has anyone had a newer BMW FD fail? I was told by a service manager that the cause was traced to an incorrect...

    Which ADV Tourer? BMW GSA vs Super Tenere?

    I'd go with a GSA, every time, over a Tenere. The Tenere is valid attempt to take customers from the GS. However, The GS-A is an entirely different animal that outclasses the Tenere and standard GS in just about every way. Do it right the first time and get a GS-A. You're definately on the...

    So Kianu Reeves isn't REALLY Johnny Utah? Or "Ted?"

    Keanu Reeves is sort of a badass. He trained with Taran Butler to learn to shoot for the John Wick movies. Taran is a really nice guy. He's a 14yo kid trapped in a man's body. He's an excellent shooter and is willing to share info. Either way, look up Keanu's shooting videos. I'm under the...

    Kawasaki's Supercharged Sport Touring Bike

    I'd roll that green bike and laugh like an idiot the entire time. It looks fast enough to be fun enough!!

    Time for a new bike...

    You're doing yourself a huge disservice by not considering the BMW 1200GS Adventure. The Tenere and Tiger only hope to even get close to the capabilities of the GS. Oh, I know...$$$. Except by the time you equip a Tenere to be anywhere near a standard GSA, you'll be out more money. The...

    Concourse oil problem caused by Harley Davidson Employees?

    I guess I wasn't even thinking like you guys. I figured he let those "squirrelly" guys do a service and they forgot to put the oil back in. Maybe some clarification. The other version is a criminal act, and anyone who owns an $18k motorcycle would call the cops if the bike was actually...

    The Two Stroke Returns

    Haha...79 horses and 73 mph top speed? My KTM doesn't make that kind of power and is good for nearly 100mph. Shit, I've never seen it because it would probably scare me, but can you imagine what a dirt bike with a twitchy 2-stroke powerband and 79 BHP will do to a rider? That thing will be good...

    Which touring cruiser? Non-HD/BMW

    The Honda F6B seems to be very popular. I love my FJR, but it fits what I like. If you need/want something else, there's a ton to choose from. Good luck.

    H2 SX SE Sport Touring bike

    I'm with Ludwig...Range is gonna suck, especially if the rider is on the throttle and spooling that super charger. The front is ugly as Hell,and I'm not sure I like the bags. The engine and electronic features sound awesome. Maybe the rest will grow on me. Maybe...
