    is this normal?

    Had same thing after long trip. Dealer cleaned it off and said, that there is nothing critical in there, but a U-joint and if it comes back , they will change seal. Yeah, right. :D How is u-joint not critical? I don't know. It rides fine now.

    Michelin Anakee 3

    Absolute truth!!! You have to be very and I can not stress it enough VERY!!! carefull with these tires. You have to know pavement you are on. Wet or dry these things will kill you in any strong crosswind. I would recommend k60 only for off road use and some very light summer only road use. Many...

    Michelin Anakee 3

    The only reason k60 wear flat is because you can't corner worth of crap with those. If suggestion sign says 35, you better not be taking that turn more, then 45.... 50 in perfect weather. If it's wet, you better be at 25. :D

    To change or not to change.

    Whole point of this trip is to go wherever do whatever so I have no idea how many miles I will be doing in that month. I'm not planing for any dirt. Just don't know how play in the dirt. I come from R1 and V-Star so no knowledge or experience. I want to stay away from highways and do small...

    MCN 2013 Adv Bike group test vid

    This is just ridiculous . They didn't show S10 loosing control off road once and KTM and BMW look like cows on iceskates. Still, BMW comes on top. How in the hell is this possible ? Triumph is not even off road worthy and gets third spot ahead of S10. ::010:: And the worst is MCN expects...

    Spring 2013 - Romney, West Virginia - May 3-5

    I found out a couple of years ago, that I'm one of the not many people immune to poison ivy. I didn't roll in it, but didn't get skin irritation, when handled it with bare hands ( dumbass me. Didn't pay attention ) :D

    Spring 2013 - Romney, West Virginia - May 3-5

    Do they have good spot to hang a hammock? This event and TT Open House would be enough to check my gear before Colorado Rally.

    Are you 5'9-5'10"? What aftermarket screen/bracket are you happy with?

    Re: I'm 5'9" - MRA Vario Touring vs. Xcreen vs. V-Stream w/adjustable bracket MRA-X on my bike. I think I will go back to stock for summer. Can't have everything :D in one. I think I will need summer helmet too.

    Tool Storage

    I want to do 1/4 inch plate. I trying to find somebody that does CNC cutting. I decided on 1/4 inch because if I drop my bike, tube mounting plastics will brake and not bracket. If bracket brakes, then tube can damage engine case. At least, that is what I'm hoping for. I've been wrong before...

    Tool Storage

    I got 1/4 inch square foot of aluminum , that I will be working on. I see you have AltRider skid plate. Is that the reason you made right bracket in to two peace or you just didn't have enough material to make it whole?

    WHAT ARE THE TOP 10 "MUST SEE DESTINATIONS" IN A MOTO-TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES?

    When are you planning on doing this trip? Anytime between Memorial Day and Labor Day you are going to have traffic and a lot of it. Plan accordingly. Anything on the East coast within 20 miles from water in warm weather is tourist trap. I am not saying its not worth going to, but summer is not...

    How do you go about buying a helmet online?

    I went thru exactly same thing not too long ago. I would not recommend you buying one online. Even Revzilla only pays one return. Last December I froze my ass all the way from Long Island to Philly and back to visit Revzilla, but I am very glad I made that trip. No pictures, reviews, videos or...

    Looking for new adventure bike

    Hi, Mike. I was considering GS as well. Cost was not major points for me. I am ok with paying more for better product. I am ok with having more frequent maintenance intervals . I just needed to be sure, that nothing would go wrong mechanically. One of the big tipping points was dealer network...
