    Riding with Spotlights at night?

    I dont think for the short time I was behind him, that it would be THAT irritating to get under your skin enough to run you off the road, additionally on a road thats under construction and inherently dangerous. I figured cagers would have enough sense to think we need the lights to see the...

    Riding with Spotlights at night?

    So this seems to be a bit of a contentious topic, with some for and some against riding at night with LED spotlights.

    Do the LC trophies have smaller tyres than the Adventures?

    I have a guy in my complex who has an older adventure model bike, he recently bought new tyres for his adventure and they are Michelins to but more off road looking maybe 50/50 tyres? I have the anakee 3's on mine, but his wheels look way bigger? Is this due to the tyre being more geared...

    Vibration in the Clutch Lever

    So an update to the issue I experienced. Donford guys opened up the clutch housing etc, pulled everything out re-oiled it and put it back in. Only issue they noted was slight discoloration of the plates. I am experiencing no further issues. In fact it feels like the gear changes are ALOT...

    Boots - what to buy....

    So do any of you commute daily? Do you ride with the MX boots on and then just change at work or something? This is where I feel adventure boots come in handy if you only do the odd off road ride but on-road mostly. By off road I mean a flat gravel road on a trip or something. Or would you...
