If they're planning biennial inspections it sounds like someone is getting bribe money under the table. Mechanical failure is a relatively rare cause of accidents. I'm sure they'll use the panacea of a few wheel separations as justification, but I'm dead set against it. Heck, we just got rid...

If she can make a living on her charisma more power to her. I just like the broad panoramas in her vids. Gives me ideas on where I'd like to visit. The rest I don't watch.

Bear in mind that she does the vids for pocket money, so she ends up churning out a lot of junk just to get the hit count. Like her latest about clearing her bike at customs. Who cares? But...200,000 people watched it.

I went out Saturday, Gerbings, layers and all. Fabulous ride, not many cars on the roads. Was really very comfortable. California Heat gauntlets are very effective. Got as low as -3c as the evening crept in and I didn't even feel it. Felt like I was good until -10c or so. Have to hone my...

It was posted on the site linked. I think he only did it for a week, not sure why. He could have done it for a couple of months, but you know with these things often the wrong people start replying, trying to manipulate the results. Statistically I would say you really need 2000 respondents...

Gives you a good idea of pretty much everything about ADV riders. Some very interesting stuff. I like to compare what people are actually doing to the way manufacturers are trying to steer them. https://www.buildstring.com/survey/2021

Very nice. I would take it in British racing green. But it's a one-lung, and RE has a twin. Difficult decisions.

I don't hang on many forums anymore. It used to be good when there was no rules, but after 2005 the boring people started ruining it. Now its really bad. Reddit? Gimme a break. Great place for leftie crybabies. Facebook is just a surveillance site. I miss the old 10-page arguments where...

Good for what she's doing. It's nice to have someone else do all the arduous riding work while I'm enjoying the scenery from my computer.

Yes, agree. On an air cooled engine you can get the seal just as well with if you reuse a steel gasket on the same parts. I've done it on my Honda. Obviously the best option is a new gasket, and you don't want to reuse a gasket that is like, 10 years old. This doesn't apply to a water-cooled...

The Babysitters: Whew, where to begin with this movie? You would almost think this was directed by Jefferey Epstein. A hormonally driven teen gets into a relationship with a middle aged married man whose kids she is babysitting. He overpays her out of a kind of guilt. She likes the money...

You should be following the instructions in your service manual. The base and head gaskets on most bikes (but not all) go on dry. Strongly recommend you use reusable gaskets like Fel-Pro.

-- He did not need to be on the property to pick up the kid. Court order does not give you the right to be there, just to get the kid. He should have stood on the sidewalk after being told to leave. -- He pushed up against the chest of the step-father who had told him to leave. Then he...

I find that Black Friday in Canada is just a con-job. You can get the same stuff on sale all the time. Annoying the way the Cdn media carries on about it like it is Boxing Day. This isn't the United States, and the incentive to lower prices isn't the same here.

Under U.S. law the shooter will be found not guilty of murder since the father was on the property without permission, was told to leave, then became the first to get physical. That's the castle law. Stand your ground.

Boy, nostalgia rings eternal. I remember as a kid they were the best selling motorcycles, then...gone. Like all the others though, it's just hijacking a name to get quick sales. Not sure if it will work though, because most of the people who rode them back in the day are like 70+ years old...

I have had one on my KTM all season. Works fine. Zero issues.

Drains your battery.

Great article on this by Rex Murph of the National Post. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-toronto-school-boards-profoundly-ignorant-rejection-of-book-club-event-with-nobel-prize-winner

Went out today for three hours. I knew it was going to rain so wanted to test some of my new gear. Hy-Dry gloves soaked through in 1 hour of steady rain. Rest of me stayed dry. Might take the gloves back for refund. Not sure about ending it all this season, as long as it doesn't snow I'm...
