    Since I know basically nothing about this I thought I would post the question here, I am looking at getting a portable battery jumper to carry on the bike and have narrowed it down to two units. Brand A...

    Noise Canceling Ear Buds

    Anyone else wear these? I have a set from ToaTronics, they have a wire to plug in but now they are broken. They did last me a couple of years and I was very happy with them but need something else now, probably bluetooth. My brother in law had the Sony ones but did not like them at all, any...

    S10 vs Triumph Tiger

    I just wanted to put a few thoughts down for those that were wondering about my thoughts on my 2023 (depending on who you ask it is either a 2022 or 2023 but both the dealer and insurance refer to it as a 2023) Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer and how it compares to my 2018 Tenere ES. So first...

    Well, she is gone.

    Yup, traded in the S10 for a new Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer. The Tenere was a good bike just a few little things that annoyed me and I didn't love the bike like I loved my old Victory. It was fine to ride but I didn't wake up in the morning and think that I just had to ride it, I knew it...

    New Helmet, need advise

    I bought a new helmet and need some advise on it. I bought the LS2 Vallient II because I love the looks and features, a couple of years ago I bought the original version but, as it turns out, was a seriously wrong fit. The original was a Long Oval and my head is an Intermediate Oval, the...

    Side Stand Turn

    Has anyone done this pivot and turn while putting the weight on the side stand? I started to do it but dam she is a heavy girl, didn't want to push my luck so I stopped before getting any real weight on it. Not sure if the side stand can handle the weight or not.

    Flash Believer in Ontario

    So that annoying part of the bike where you let off the throttle and feel like you are going to go over the front tire has been resolved. A big shout out to Speedlab in Newmarket for doing my flash and Dyno tune, honestly feels like a new bike, and a much better one. The low speed first gear...

    Dumb me :(

    I am so used to my other bike and car that has a FOB that I left the key in the Tenere. Must have left it on Acc mode since the battery was totally dead. Tried to jump it but no luck. I took the side panel off and have hooked it up the the Tender/charger. Now hopefully it will just be a matter...

    Dunlop TrailMax Mission Tires

    I just put some new shoes on the Tenere and replaced the Shinko 804/805's with the TrailMax Missions. I have to say that I really liked the Shinko's, they were fine on the road, just ok in the rain but did really well in the dirt and I thought they were exception in my nemesis, sand. I got both...

    First Oil and Filter Change

    Did my first oil and filter change on the S10 and have to say it was pretty easy, went well. The TRex skid plate made getting the oil filter off a little difficult but just put some paper on it to funnel the old oil out and into the bucket. Looks like I will be saving some money and just doing...

    AltRider Sucks

    I also posted this in another forum... I bought a set of their Hemisphere Soft bags back in March, finally got them installed and used them in August and the stitching is coming apart. I contacted them about a warranty claim but they said that because I bought the item on sale they will not...

    My (ongoing) Shinko 804/805 review

    These are and will be my ongoing notes on these tires and are really more intended for that purpose, really they are more to see how the tires do in the various conditions that I will be riding them in. Mostly for my own notes but I thought that others would be interested in reading my opinion...

    Removing OEM Hardcase Racks

    I was just about to remove the mounts for the Hardcases but I noticed a strange looking bolt that is holding it on, looks like a Hex head but there is a centre part to it. How do I get this bolt off?

    Barkbusters Install

    I have a set of the Barkbusters and was trying to put them off, first problem was it says to take the factory bar weights off. How do you do that? I can't see how they are on. Second problem was the clips that bolt on to the handle bars don't seem to want to go onto the bars and lastly even...

    Got my Madstad

    Wow! Now this bike is so much better! I just went for a short ride but the difference is just so much better, my head is not bobbling or getting blasted with a full gale force wind. Just love Madstad, they suggested the 20' windshield but I went with the 22', I think either would have been fine...

    Pulled the trigger

    Finally got my new '18 S10 ES. Had to trailer it home yesterday due to the rain downpour but was able to squeeze a quick ride in today. Here is a picture before and after mods. Ok, good to go now!

    AltRider Hemisphere Soft Bags

    Has anyone used these before? Do they bolt right up to the hardware from the factory hard bags or do you need another part? http://www.altrider.com/altrider-hemisphere-soft-panniers/pid/1528 Thanks...
