I have to say..Death Valley was kind of disappointing lol. Just looked like everything was under construction. Like everything just looked like loose rock and rubble. I’m assuming maybe the flood from last year destroyed everything? I dunno. Maybe I just had the wrong impression of what Death...

Rented a 2018 sv650 from riders-share. Love it so far. I’ve mostly been riding my royal enfield 650 and almost forgot what a bike with proper power feels like lol. This is going up lees canyon doing the mount Charleston loop. God damn freezing up there (didn’t pack any warm riding gear. My...

i thought about it but i *think* im gonna need a day of recovery first. not sure if i want to hop onto a bike after 15 hour flight in unfamiliar territory just yet!

ok im considering doing a 2-3 day route similar to this https://www.mototoursjapan.com/tours/izu-hakone-fuji_tour_3days2nights.html Just debating whether to fit this in near the end of my trip there (to accustom myself to Japan more. Havent been there since i was a kid lol) or do it at the...

yah i put it in my duffel bag and it technically becomes too 'big' for flair airlines carryon luggage guidelines. so thats why i contacted them to see if i can just use it as my 'personal item' (even though dimension-wise its technically also bigger than their personal item guidelines). for...

so FYI, i just contacted flair airlines and they told me this about helmets: Yes. Helmets can be carried on as hand luggage. You can even carry it as a part of your checked\-in luggage, although that's not advisable given the handling of checked-in bags by airline staff. Just ensure you are...

he does say its based on the worst adv bike ever though lol. an underpowered bike also needs to be light imo. the hunter 350 is on the right track. much lighter than the classic 350. and apparently the new himilayan will be even lighter.

i dunno what the stock battery in my ducati is but its been the same one since 2016 and still works just fine.

yah personally i have no interest in riding in the actual cities. hoping to just rent a bike and get out of any major city asap. sorry about your son!

awesome!!!! i've read that heading north on the izu skyline is better than going south, view-wise for mount fuji. but coming from tokyo i guess i'd have to go south first anyway so might just do a fulll back and forth loop through. dont mind the possible extra expense for ETC passes. my work is...

i'll be heading to japan (flying into narita/tokyo) in late september for a few weeks but will only be riding at most, maybe 3-4 days (going with friends but they're not riders). location-wise i will probably spending most of our time in tokyo area for a bit and then heading west to osaka area...

cast wheels will be nice. really dont give a **** about spokes. will probably be cheaper just to order them on ebay once they're available. wish they had updated the dash though so its more like the hunter 350/super meteor. seems weird to ignore that but change to the switchgear thats used in...

i applied in july 2022. still 'processing'. no idea whats going on with the interview process since apparently you cant even do them in canada right now.

used to ride in -20. no longer. i can maybe tolerate 0 if im just zipping around town for a quick errand. 10 is definitely doable for regular riding though. as long as my hands aren't freezing im usually fine.

oddly enough, i just noticed the speed cameras are now on google maps as well! no idea how often they get updated or maybe it just takes it directly from waze, which google owns anyway.

i think they need to work on food options. i dont remember seeing much else than pizza pizza lol.

try lifting a royal enfield 650 off the kickstand lol. way heavier than you'd expect for such a low powered machine. sat on pretty much all the triumphs (1200cc speed twin down to the street triple), yamaha xsr700, etc etc and was amazed and how light they felt in comparison to my RE 650 lol...

ok i clearly didnt re-check weather updates!!

was hoping the weather was gonna be like yesterday so i'd just ride there. but looks like its gonna be like -20 all weekend. bleh. and pretty sure parking will be around $20 unless you want to park north of the gardener somewhere on a sidestreet and take a good stroll down. i'll probably just...
