    BMW G 450 X

    This Beemer weighs less than my TW and has more than twice the displacement, I'm disgusted!  AND it has a coax mounted swing arm = even chain tension regardless of suspension compression, might just be able to forgive it it's narrow biscuit tyres... Now, if I could bolt 4 jerrycans to that...

    Survival on a bike for newbies and oldies.

    We have a few thousand years of riding experience accumulated on this forum considering the membership count.  Shall we condense the survival knowledge in one thread for newcomers to biking and the more experienced riders to use as a guide and save some lives? I have made a point of asking...

    A (stupid) question on gyro force

    My son started showing interest in DS biking so I proceeded (in secret, my ex will sue me if she knew) to explain to him the basics of riding a motorised two wheeled vehicle.  We got to gyro force and I explained that one can remove the support under one end of an axle on which a wheel spins...

    I've had this itch since Linda bought her TW two years ago as a first bike, riding behind her on the F650GS like a true gentleman at 90 kays an hour while she found her way on two wheels.  So in typical dog style I scratched where it itched, and it wasn't my balls, it was the simplicity of the...

    Your perception of adventure, let's get academic...

    Your perception of adventure, the more academic side of being an adventure rider.. To be an oke that would leave his tv couch/luxury heated cage seat, get on a bike and set off into the sunset picking the worst route there makes for a somewhat special character. This strange habit was...
