I have embedded a great video made by Revzilla reviewing the tires we choose to use on all our bikes. We bought our first set back in 2010. Placed them on our 2010 BMW F650GS bikes. Rode cross-country on them and came back after 12,000 KM’s with plenty of tread. Leslie also got a nail…

You never know what you’ll see when at your dealer. This time I met Tom who rides a 1200GSA. He invented a lift to go into his customized 5th Wheel Hauler rig. Amazing! Tom got his invention made specifically for his rig initially for his Harley but decided he was a BMW man after learning…
Some people are just so motivated and this is for sure one creative HOME! SOURCE: AVIATIONHUMOR What a creative idea! Joanne Ussary bought a used Boeing 727. She paid $2,000.00 for the plane. It cost $4,000.00 to move and $24,000.00 to renovate. But not bad for a $30,000.00 investment… The stairs open with a garage…
October 17 2013 Today was a great day to ride to AltRider. Why? It was not raining, cool enough to turn on a little heat, traffic wasn’t too bad, the AltRider gang were extremely friendly and helpful and I got to test out the ESA on the “infamous” I-5 from the border to Seattle. AltRider…

Aug 26, 2012 by RoadRUNNER Most motorcycles use cables to connect the twist grip to the carb(s) or throttle bodies; many also use cables for the clutch, cold-start control, and even brakes. Servicing these critical components is fairly simple and prevents problems later. Maintenance intervals vary, and bikes ridden in dust, sand, or mud need…
I think this is a great idea to assist with tire changing. IF We end up buying the 2013 BMW F800GS bikes we will need to practice fixing flats. The 800 has tubed tires versus our F650GS twins, which have tubeless. Any thoughts? Has anyone tried these? Waste of money?
