    Aprilia Tuareg 660

    Aprilla Video https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/aprilia-tuareg-660-revealed/ Kinda interesting, they could have maybe not used the Africa Twin Colours, at first I though it was a modded AT. Black or Gold rims would have also looked a little sweeter

    Tenere 700 Clutch issue

    I've had this bike since new, and at around the 2k mark the clutch started making a very odd grinding sound on startup when engaged and just leaving the friction zone into first. It's not always there, sometimes when cold, sometimes when warmed up. I use Motul 7100 and do oil changes every 7-8k...

    Ride Report: Yours to Discover to BC

    I left on August 16th, 2020 with a plan to reach Calgary and spend time with my sister, then head out to Vancouver and do a week long ride out to BC. I packed camping gear with the idea to leave it at my sisters in Calgary when out west so I can travel lighter. I would be working on the road as...

    Heated Gear

    I know its summer, just as fall approaches and temperatures drop at night, wonder what heated gear people recommend? Planning a trip out west, and I know in the mountains the temperature can drop, I grew up in the tropics, so anything below 20c is freezing for me, seriously. I don't like bulk...

    Taller/narrow tire on a wider rim?

    The Yamaha T7 rear wheel is 4.50 x 18 in, and stock tires are 150/70-18 I'm looking at getting the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires, and ordered a 140/80/18, thinking it's just taller and more narrow, better for dirt, also much cheaper and only size in stock at Petes. However, dunlops site states...

    Waterproof Gear

    Question for the experienced about waterproof gear. I have a Dainese leather jacket, not waterproof. Bought an Icon DKR jacket + Alpinestar Drystar Pants, was waterproof, till I crashed in it and ripped them. Now I'm in search for new gear for next season and in a dilemma. Some say nothing is...

    Thinking of going Trail/Supermoto

    I currently ride a 2016 CB500X, love the bike, though with the new 2019 changes made, and the Yamaha+KTM 700 adventure bikes announced, I'm thinking of saving some money to buy one of those when they come out. I'm looking at Husaberg TE450 now, with supermoto setup, or a WR456, blue plated...

    Yamaha T700 and KTM 790 Adventure

    Two new bikes recently launched, both look really good! Too bad the Yamaha isn't expected till 2021 here, and both are over 200kg wet weight.

    Dalton Timmins policy cancelled

    Anyone else receive a letter from DT saying that their policy is being cancelled? I just got it, due to "10.2 Any operator of a motorcycle licensed less than 6 years". This is ridiculous, I'm 27, clean record, ride a CB500X, M2.

    Clutch in 2nd Gear

    Recently while commuting, I've been in alot of start/stop traffic and rather than keep shifting from 1st to 2nd, then back down. I just clutch out from 2nd gear, it's pretty easy to do I find, would this be bad for the transmission over time?

    Parts Upgrade on a Bike

    I got a CB500X Recently, and in the future was thinking of doing the Rally Raid Level 3 Upgrade to it. The kit with import and all, can come to around $5-6K alone, it does not add any speed or make it more risky, just more adventure ready. How would insurance go about this, since they don't...
