    I love this bike!

    Had to stop on the way home from work last week and capture this special moment. Most of the millage has been accumulated since the middle of March, through almost every kind of weather and road condition you can imagine. What makes the 10k mark special to me is that the bike came through it all...

    Can we get over Mt. Rainier beginning of May?

    Hey, A bunch of us are putting a ride together May 5th to 12th from the Pacific North West (Vancouver, BC area) and were wondering if we're wasting our time thinking we can get up and over Rainier during that week (Hwy 706 west to east). The road reports say they are clearing snow, but what are...

    Mud Wrestling

    I couldn’t help myself. The sun was out and it felt warm for a change … maybe 10 degrees or so. I’m by myself returning home after an errand and decide to take a quick blast up to the motor cross track to get in a little off road practice, which I haven’t had much of on the Super yet. Nothing...

    Geez ... that doesn't sound very good!

    Happy TG all. So I let my insurance expire on the 11th and sadly put my baby away in the shop for the winter. While thinking about how to best winterize her, I start her up on the centre stand the other day and let her fully warm up. Never having actually owned a bike with a centre stand...

    How'd that get in there?

    I'd just finished syncing the TBs (thanks Jaxon) and was pushing the bike to the door to take it for a test ride, but something wasn't right. For some reason the bike felt like it had put on a few more pounds, as I was hardly able to push it around. Then I realized the rear tire was just about...

    Check your final drive oil.

    Hey, Just a heads up for all you slackers out there who are just like me. I never bothered to check the final drive oil level after picking up Black Beauty three weeks ago. Changed the oil tonight at 800km and was all ready for the ooze to spill forth out the drain hole, but all I got was a...
