    Giant Loop Great Basin

    I'm really wanting to get a Giant Loop Great Basin bag instead of hard panniers. I think they would provide a benefit for off road use, and in a fall or top over, I wouldn't need to worry about a broken side case, plus I prefer the look of the Giant Loop over hard panniers. I do have a Hepco and...

    ADV boot or MX boot?

    I agree about the differance between a high end moto boot to a lower end one, there is no comparison. I ride/ race a lot of single track on a Ktm 350 XC and I have been using high end moto boots for many years. I have used lower end boots when I first started riding and did not find them...

    Want to buy a 2012 Super T

    Thanks but for the asking price, the exchange alone would get him into a farkled low mile 2014 Super T locally. Then there is the cost of getting it North of the border. Thanks for the reply.

    Three recalls on the new 1200gs. Mmmm

    I bought my 2012 S10 used with 16000km last fall and saw on here in the spring about the headlight recall in the US, I contacted my local dealer here in Canada about it, they ran the serial # and it didn't come up.. I double checked the serial # and told him it was imported by the previous owner...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Got out for a great 300km ride, mostly gravel/ dirt roads. Ran into all conditions, some slab, tacky dirt, complete greasy muck, slush, dusty sections, and a foot of snow.. All in all one great adventure!! ::015::

    the poor tenere just never gets a break

    Here is my initial impression of the big S10. I picked up a 2012 used last fall when the snow was on the ground and yesterday was my first real ride on it. I did 150 KM after work, 60% rough gravel. Does this bike have the get up and go that my 950 SM has?? NO. Does it have the get up and go...

    Scott Dual Raid gear

    I was able to try on the Scott gear yesterday. I'm 6' tall, 175 lbs, usually I wear large, and the large fit decent, the coat fit well but the pants are real short in the inseam, I don't think scott makes tall sizes but they should. Still considering the jacket but the short pants are a no go.. :-[

    Scott Dual Raid gear

    I don't like to find out the hard way either so I never order gear before I get a chance to try on first to get sizing and a feel for comfort. Whether jacket, pants, boots or helmets they always fit so different from brand to brand.

    I'd be in but unfortunately can't make this one, Thursday's wouldn't work for me either but possibly a Friday sometime might. Would like to change fork fluid at some point before the spring.
