I'm arriving in Melbourne on a cargo ship in mid August and thinking of renting a bike for a week long ride. I know to stay away from the Alps area but how about the coast over to Adelaide? Then up to Broken Hill and back down to Melbourne that's about 2300Km. I'm not worried about temps as...

I'm just entering the planning stages for a trip to Australia and looking into shipping my bike there and back. I know some will offer the "just rent one" option but this trip should be about 40-45 days. A quick check showed a $140/day price for an F800 so I don't think renting is a viable...

A quick mod for those of us who prefer paper maps... Maybe it's a sickness but I like to carry the most detailed paper maps that I can find for a particular ride. Depending on my destination and route I might have 7 or 8 maps and wanted a place to keep them from getting all torn up along the...

Sherman Pass is a forestry road that is accessed in the Porterville, CA area and goes over the top of the Sierras, dropping into Hwy 395 about 30 miles south of Lone Pine, CA. This road is all paved and closes in the late fall then opens after the snow melts. The elevation tops out at 9,200'...

I purchased my 2012 ST slightly used with 2000 miles on it and the seller had a set of OEM heated grips that were never installed and still in the factory packaging. I installed them per the instruction sheet and they worked great for about 6 months then failed during a multi-day ride. There...

My first long trip since purchasing an "almost new" 2012 ST last year. Obviously a BIG upgrade from my GenII KLR. Although the KLR took me to the top of Alaska twice so I can't complain about its capability. Load up KLR on the Dalton Hwy near the Yukon River Crossing. The Northwest...

I just installed a set of lowering links from an Ebay source located in England. (Vgoosey or something like that) Inexpensive at $35, well machined and quick shipping. Good, right? Nope...the center-to-center length was about 3mm longer than stock which dropped the bike about 5/16". Not the...

Hello all, I just picked up an almost new 2012 S-Ten (just over 2000 miles on the clock) and I've already used your collective knowledge for a tech question...thanks for that! I've upgraded from the KLR world in which I've made 2 trips up the Dalton/Dempster/Campbell highways from the middle...

Hello all, I'm a new member here (upgraded from the KLR world). I just found a poor soul with a 2012 S10 with just 2,000 miles on it, collecting dust in his garage and a purchase price that was too good to pass up. Along with the bike was a set of Motech crash bars that were never mounted...
