At the rate dealerships are closing, soon there won't need to be any left!

It’s all very well slagging off the bike press but they need an income to survive. They have two main sources of income: the cover price/subscriptions and ad revenues. If they criticise a manufacturer’s product to the point that the manufacturer withdraws their support they’ll need to increase cover...

If you want that sort of look then I think MV do it a lot better.
Go on...you know you want one

I have heard of hairy assed bikers but that's the first hairy assed bike I have seen.

Sort of on topic but I’ve noticed something that my Tom Tom rider 550 has started doing. I’m not sure if it’s always done it or I’ve just noticed. It tell me when I’ve entered an average speed camera zone, how far until the exit and what my average speed has been since I passed the first camera. Pr...

What, where exactly does it hurt? Are we talking glutes, hips, back or what? Given the above with the Corbin seats and sports bikes etc suggests you may need a physio rather than a nice soft cushioned seat. Never heard anyone complain about bum ache with a Corbin. :eh: Oddly, it manifests its self ...

You're sure to enjoy polishing the acres of chrome.

Only for owners who travel with just a credit card and no luggage.

Years ago, my father nailed some carpet to a garage wall stop scratching the car. Seemed to work.

I got rid of a Multistrada 1260 for the same reason - far too much countersteering effort was required to keep the bike turning in a corner. I tried the diavel but found it little better. I paid for profession help setting up the Multi but it made no difference. The geometry of the bike is to blame ...

The best app for curvy roads is Kurviger - unfortunately, Android only. Scenic 2 does a pretty good job on iPhones and, I believe, uses the Kurviger engine to generate the routes.

Your oil appears to have dissolved the teeth on your sprocket!!

Have a pair of the MK1s but they a) leak and b) fingers are a bit too short. I normally use size 9s and on other gloves the finger lengths are fine but on the Handroid 9s I find they are too short and on a long ride, it starts to hurt.

Itchy Boots uses a chin mount - currently a different one from that used for her earlier videos. Her video seems very stable despite most of it being taken on fairly rough roads.

I use Locus Map ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=menion.android.locus ) it has an online web planner that pairs with the app. Can use a multitude of maps for many purposes (walking, cycling, vehicles etc.). Has excellent route and track management capabilities and simply far to many f...

Just no.

Interesting road markings for "curve technology".

OK, a long range is great but so is light weight. Add fuel capacity with something like Desert Fox fuel bladders, not dirty great petrol tanks. The time taken to refill the OEM tank from the bladder will be much needed downtime and if you want an adventure, you need to slow down.

I have ridden bikes from singles to 6 cylinders and I seriously doubt that the number of cylinders had anything to do with the handling, or if it did, it was accounted for in the rest of the design. I think frame geometry, (Head angle, fork rake, trail, steering flop etc.) are much more important.

Fitting kits are just mild steel. If you have access to a lathe, it's only a few minutes work to turn most of them up. One or two, like those for a Multistrada are a bit more complicated.

We need all the entrepreneurs we can get in this country - legit ones that is. Sounds like he is making a good start.
