What you are describing sounds to me like not riding hard.

Andrew, I can't even think how painful this loss has to be. I just want to say that here I am standing, physically far away, but right next to you in spirit and soul on these dark days. All my sympathy to you, your wife and daughter.

There is a video recorred during Japan's recent quake showing two scooters facing each other going really low speed, one of them, seems to be a lady, went down right away with the shake while the other was able to stop standing. So yes, odds are that you will be going down with a quake having...

Hey Geoff you know what it comes next, don't you? Who's the oldest one. I know, I know, this was already discussed before, but let's update the stats. I'm going to start leading, 45 years old, who is next?

Well, me being on the other side of the World, today I did my commute riding below freezing point, had to wait till a bit late in the morning to avoid any possible ice on the streets. Last week I was in Tempe, Arizona. It was something like 118 °F on Thursday. Nice air conditioning Toyota...

A really beautiful bike, I saw one of the two or three pre-production models some months ago, when they were being shown across the world here in Santiago, Chile. The next day it was sent to Argentina. It is impressive, nice size and proportions, and when they did turn it on, the engine made...

Can I say RTFM :ban: E is the tachometer, 1600 - 1800 rpms Here is an extract of the manual, page 3-6 (20/90) Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the display between the odometer mode “ODO” and the tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” (“TRIP F”) and the tachometer “E” in the...

If the battery is dead, it will not start at all. The click, click .. then start is normally due to connector problem between the battery and the starter. The starter itself failing is also a possibility, for this, try to move the bike back and forth with the gear box engaged in first or...

I have been looking at it since a while, in magazines, and after a while, as I started getting in use to the "different" style, i started liking it, honestly. I also congratulate those Moto Morini engineers / marketing gurus, for the courage to go on with something different. I also agree...

Luckily here in Chile we have the chance to choose, exact same price, so it was a matter of taste, or look. NAKED all the way!!!!

That seems to be a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, specially for those of you that are getting into winter (regards from Soyuth Hemisfere!!!). I am amazed by the level of detail of the stuff.

I like it a lot, it is not the most practical bike for daily ride, but if I wanted to have something like a custom, this would be the choice.

I am facing the same problem, specifically on having the need to have a trail-like motorcycle, and also like the KTM 990 Adventure, and also the BMW 800GS. I think there are too many beautiful places waiting to be discovered, but are placed far from a paved road, so there comes the need for an...

Normally I get 40 mpg (17 km/l), but this is riding to/from work in stop and go. Worst average was something like 31 mpg, probably enjoying too much while commuting. Then the best one, 53 mpg riding in secondary roads at even below legal speed.

Here is mine. Only choices here were gray or black, gray frame though. The second one is a Suzuki GSR600 from my brother (I think not available in the States).
