Give this guy a cookie. He wrote a great ad even if it was delusional. Most Harley's are great for cruising around town with your lady and kinda nice on group rides but will never be "bad ass" as far as power and speed go. I had a really nice late 90's Harley Heritage for about a month until I...

I still have an 09 KLR-650 that I use regularly for a work bike. It's farkled out about as much as it can be and pretty much can carry a Buick if I need too. As far as comfort goes, It fits me well. I've done a few 3500+ mile rides and a 6,000 miler (with extra oil) ((OK lots of oil)) and have...

Just wanted to welcome you here although I am new here myself. Been to Newfoundland many times and love the campground at Deer Lake. We had a ball there with a bon-fire and playing CCR songs on guitars. It was a night I'll never forget. Poutine at the Irving Big-Stop was more than awesome for...

Wow! I was surprised to see just how many of us used to be ST riders. I still see myself buying another ST in the future but for now the s10 and the KLR suit me fine. I've had the s10 for about a year now and clocked about 20,000 miles so far. It can really tear up dirt roads and I just love it...

Thanks for the offer to try the aftermarket seats PowersUSA.. I think I'm just going to send my seat down to Frank Turner (greatdaytoride.com) He did my ST1300's seat and it was a total transformation. The S10's seat is a little wide for me and I have to admit, a little hard for this old guy. I...

Hello Folks, Just got back from a long-ride. About 6,000 miles and have a major chaffing problem from the seat. I'm not sure if it's my boney butt or the texture of the seat. I'm used to long-rides on sport touring bikes so I'm used to seat time. This seems to be a different problem for me...
