A fellow rider recently died after a minor accident. A few weeks later I was having lunch with a doctor friend and told him about it. I told him the rider complained about left shoulder pain but didn’t think he hit his shoulder. My doctor friend said that is often a symptom of a ruptured...

I think you can get on a list. Email them. Dad invented it and his son runs the business. They can’t keep up with demand so they stop taking orders. They emailed me last time they got caught up.

I took a short video of me picking up the bike with it, but can’t figure how to post it. It certainly gives me confidence to go places I wouldn’t without it.

On a solo ride to visit two of my daughters in Colorado I chose to ride through the Manti-La Sal national forest on 022. It’s a beautiful ride and a good gravel road. I took a cut off up to Wrigley Reservoir and stupidly tried to ride around it in rather deep pea gravel. I dropped the bike and...

I just bought a Gl1800 because it’s more comfortable for my wife. It has really made me appreciate my Super Tenere even more! The Super T is the best bike I have ever owned! You’re going to love it!

We were just there last week. What an interesting place!

I would like one!

Maybe I missed it…. Did no one mention range? My only real complaint is having to stop for gas every 200 miles! The range was an issue in some parts of British Columbia, Alaska and even Baja. Of course I carry extra fuel canisters but it’s a hassle to use.

I love my Kilimanjaro and hope I never have to part with it. It only has about 40k on it now so I’ve got a long way to go.

Great!! Thanks. My wife will really appreciate these!

Hi, My wife’s knees bother her after a long day riding with me. Has anyone lowered the pillion pegs for their passengers comfort? Did it help? Any suggestions on where to get some? thanks, ken

Yep, one is mine. I thought I was sending a DM that would not be public. It’s alright. I like talking about motorcycles. :)

Sometimes you may be riding down a dirt road and all of a sudden there is sand. . We had that happen in Death Valley and Moab. (Btw, I am not a good dirt rider…. But the bike told me to go there )

I’ve often wondered if it would help when riding two up in the sand. I hate sand don’t ride in it well.

My wife and I go for two weeks or more every year. We camp every night and have breakfast and dinner at the site. We usually stop for a good lunch. This was Idaho in June. Most of our backpacking gear does double duty. The tent was already taken off the left pannier in this photo.
