    Hola from 51degrees south latitude.

    Rented a GS in Osorno and tomorrow we hit Tierra del Fuego. Figured I'd post a comparison because I feel like I can give one now. We are 2 up on a rented water cooled Gs and I own a 2012 super tenere. The motor- this thing hauls ass, but it's got a lot less torque off idle and below 3500 or...

    Should I be upset?

    Local dealer did some work for me against my better judgement. Was just trying to take some work off my plate. Anyway, it appears that my differential has found itself in a parts washer or was otherwise soaked in solvent. Check out the sweet new color.

    Simple Green- not so simple

    I see people using it on bikes all the time. I've also seen what it does to a bike after a few years. The stuff is not safe on aluminum and many other finishes on bikes. Read the FAQ's if you don't believe me. http://simplegreen.com/faqs/

    Sena SM10

    Sold!!!!!!!!!! As seen here: http://senabluetooth.com/product/adapters/sm10/ Bought it for the dual streaming which they have since added to the smh10. It's also useful if you want to convert a non bluetooth audio device or stream multiple devices as it can be used as a mixer of sorts...

    The perception of speed

    While my S10 is sitting on the west coast, I picked up a FZ6 for cheap. It's funny how bad I suck at riding when I don't have abs, tcs, and 100# of torque on tap. Besides that, it's also funny how freaking slow this thing is. It makes a whole lot of noise and the perception is that I'm...

    Today's lesson- why you should only use OEM brake pads

    and why the rear brake pads wear more on some bikes than others... First of all, the ABS/UBS system has friction coefficients in the software for OEM pads and there is no way to change that. i'll do my best to explain this. When you apply the brakes, hydraulic pressure sensors feed the...

    Punched a hole in my sw mo tech skid plate

    Id have to say that it performed very well. Pushed it back just enough to leave a tiny mark on a header pipe. Banged and straightened everything back out and reinstalled it with minimal effort. I'll run a bead over the gash when I have time. It happened on a dirt road in pisgah. Leaves covered...

    Demo day

    Local dealer had the Yamaha truck this weekend. Rode the Vmax. Was terribly disappointed. It had 1900 miles on it and the clutch was chattering badly. I can see why. The motor barely runs below 2500. Takes at least 5K to come to life. Switched with a buddy on the ride home. Rode his...

    Badlands Vs. Latitude 840 Review

    A few folks have asked so here is my review: Badlands Jacket: The Pros- 1. Collar is softer, has tabs to hold open both sides towards the shoulders. The tabs are important because the softer collar flaps more than the open Latitude. 2. A lot more armor and it feels like it would be more...

    Are ADV riders nothing but posers?

    Droopy backside

    After much consideration, I've decided to post about this. My bike's luggage is sagging. My uncle is a dealer and he's seen it and we've discussed it extensively. We are 90% sure that we know what's wrong. Anyone else with OEM luggage have a sagging problem?
