I keep on reading that this is a thing, but have found absolutely no testing or scientific evidence that there is any reason for this. I am familiar with helmet company rationale of adhesives breaking down, uv / heat / vibration degradation, better protective technologies over a 5 year period...

Just switched my first pair off my Versys at 26500 km. Still not down to the wear bars, but squared in the back and scalloped up front to the point that I just wanted them switched. These were amazing tires in the rain up to almost 25000 km, smooth to ride on, and much less squishy than I would...

After a few years of trying to figure out what would be a good training course, i pulled the trigger on Total Control. I am a shift worker, live in London, and have been riding about 12-15000 km / year for about the last 8 years. Being a shift worker with a messed up sleep schedule, i don't have...

Hey guys, after a few commutes in 3 deg weather, I thought I'd share my thoughts on my new heated liner: It rocks! Construction quality seems quite good, and fit is spot on. It warms up quickly and gets hot, but not burn hot. I was skeptical about how well it would work for me, as my jacket is...

Got out of work at 4:15 am, onto the bike and onto the hwy. I was doing a fair clip on the on a poorly lit on ramp, when a pretty fresh roadkill skunk appeared from under the car in front of me right in my path. Options were to lean in more to get around it on the inside; risking a slide if I...

Rode from London to Richmond Hill on back roads yesterday to see my dad. From Bradford to his house I was cut off / had to avoid at least 3 drivers with soccer flags on their cars. Another 2 on the way home plus a 1980's camry (but i usually expect to be cut off by old toyotas). Nice of these...

Thinking about an F800R as a possible replacement for my Versys. I've read a lot of good things, but what I'm wondering, and can't seem to find, is a comparison of maintenance cost to a Jap bike. I tend to do most minor repairs / maintenance on my bike now, but was told that BMW's are not the...

I've seen it in the showroom and liked it, but I just saw my first one on the street and, gotta tell y'all, I'm a dude, and I think I'm pregnant. That is one sexy bike.

I'm riding around today fully farkled versys doing my errands as I so often do. Stop at stop sign and a nice street triple comes though from the other direction. Off I go admiring the triumph, but I get to thinking how much I love my bike. I can't think of another bike that would better suit my...

Any potential issues with wearing just shorts under mesh? Riding London to Honey Harbour via forks of credit on thurs (humidex topping 40) and am trying to figure out gear. Also have Drayko jeans, but I think the mesh would be cooler and offer more protection. Thanks in advance

Sick of that nasty mud big chains are trying to pass off as coffee? Where do you go for the good stuff? My vote is for Grounded Coffee Co. in Midland. The owners love what they do (he roasts, she bakes) and it comes across in their product. Completely worth the trip up there but the question is...

Dedicated left turn lane: left or right tire track? Question really is, does a dedicated left turn lane function as it's own single lane (left tire track)? or is it an additional lane in traffic, so blocking position is necessary (right track)?

Dear young lady, I sincerely apologize for interrupting your phone call with my steibel horn. I know my tall, bright orange bike with the bright aux led lights can be very hard to see in broad daylight, and that I should have given your left turn into the parking lot right of way over my right...

Hey folks, looking for an inexpensive GPS. Any thoughts on a used garmin 2720 vs a used quest II? Anything else out there sub $200? Thanks in advance.

Still pretty new to posting on this site, but really wanted to pass on the amazing service we got from NRC. My wife bought a bike from them a few months back. After some great customer service and remarkably cheap delivery (Virgil to London), we were disappointed to find the battery dead within...
