I just made it back to Phoenix, where TonisToo met me less than two weeks ago for a planned Adventure through Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California. During our Trip, we rode through Grand Canyon NP, Monument Valley, Canyonlands NP, Arches NP, Capitol Reef NP, Grand Staircase/Escalate NM...

It's hard to believe that was only six years ago...

Looks like you might need to add a side-stand foot to your accessories list...

There isn't a relay included with the wiring adapter. It was a long time ago now, but I think that I was able to replace the OEM Horn with a FIAMM Low Tone Freeway Blaster on my F700GS without any CanBus related issues. I don't recall the CanBus system being nearly as sophisticated as it is on...

Twisted Throttle (and perhaps others) sells a Denali SoundBomb wiring adapter, which is basically a female plug for the standard BMW wiring on one end, and the conventional twin spade lugs, with about 4" of wire between on the other. Much neater than splicing wires, and easier to restore to...

I purchased both of my BMW's when they were one year old, and saved $6,000 off the retail price in both cases. One bike had 1,078 miles on it, and the other had 6,217 miles on it. Each had two years of warranty coverage remaining, and BMW now offers extended warranties with unlimited mileage and...

I like having bikes I don't have to fix... :p Not to mention wonderful features like ABS, TCS, Ride Modes, Electronic Suspension, and TPMS. Luckily there's enough motorcycles out there to keep all of us happy! :)

I know how much you like those "classic" motorcycles Mike, but if I were you I'd sell them all and buy one nice new motorcycle!

I visited Cody at the closest independent motorcycle shop in Hayward to replace the Michelin Pilot GT 4 tires with my typical Dunlop Roadsmart IIIs. I was surprised how many weights I pulled off from the previous Michelins before the Dunlops were properly balanced. With the 3,500 miles I've...

That gravel looks better than some of our paved roads these days...

Not Me!

All whilst contributing to the delinquency of an adult... Now versys Rob will have even more tire tread to monitor!

Not a problem, my friend! I've pretty much run of items to add to the 390 Adventure anyway... :p

I think you and I are not reflective of the typical BMW Owner these days, Bob. I've always seen a fair share of 2-3 year old bikes for sale at BMW shops, and figured that those were the Folks that were always chasing the latest and greatest "new features" of the current model year, and have the...

You pose some interesting points here, but I think in the case of the stripped bolt, I imagine that KTM didn't ever intend for it to be removed, as it was involved in securing the foot-pegs and shifter/brake assemblies. Common use fasteners are not attached with thread-lock compound. Rather...
