So let’s start with I miss riding but after 3 seasons of no riding it’s time to let it go. battery was dead 100% dead. so I gave it a quick jump and noticed I pulled the cables the cluster started flickering and died them the bike died. With the jumper cables on the bike would run fine but as...

So frustrated day 2 of a 7 day trip to Gaspee and over to Quebec City. Today was chilly and wet so of course turned the grips on and no joy. (Indicator works) then about 15minites later we stop and I mess with them some and we takeoff, I look down and the switch has fallen off!!! Luckily I...

Big problem with planning this is... The colors change drastically, for the prime week you've just got to guess. I was home (NH and ME) for a wedding last week of October last year and I was about 1.5 weeks late in most areas for the prime colors. You will also have a hard time with hotels and...

After looking at the stats I need to slow down and get off the highways!!!!

They both have the rain hood I am 99% sure, big difference I noted was the bladder, and the front vents, I feel the Kilimanjaro front vents might pull in more air? I also felt the Kilimanjaro was a denser weave so maybe more rugged? But my uncle swears by his Katmandu. So I think this is a...

I am looking at the Kilimanjaro and the Katmandu. You guyIs have any recommendations? I was in twisted throttle yesterday and apparently I have a tall order for a jacket. He showed me the Macna Geo 2, but I wasn't a huge fan based on all 20 zippers and 3 liners, it felt like a bit much. I am...

Just signed up now I need to work up my signature. Unfortunately I do mostly highway cruising, at 70-75 so my numbers hurt

I am currently riding with an iron butt member. He's done 1000, 1500 4 corners and a few more. Seriously prepares for his rides and plans his routes. I did almost 900 on my NC in one day with about 300 on secondary roads. I see the 1000 as not too difficult, just mentally and planning. The pain...

Rode the Cabot Trail and if you haven't been up here do it! Beautiful scenery and fantastic roads!!! I was greatly impressed by the bike!!! Performed like a champ was tons of fun int the twisters, even up the steep inclines! Also handled very well in the 70mph gusts (we were guessing by the...

Under the rear seat is the hook for the supplied cable, the cable loops through the d-rings on the helmet then one loop goes over a small hook aft and left of your gas cap. When you close the seat your helmet is "locked" a lot of guys don't like this because a knife to cut your helmet strap, or...

I think when I put the hood up it sealed around my neck better by pulling the jacket up to the bottom of the helmet. Not letting it run down near my neck

Since we all love pictures

First day pulled off 869 miles! By far the longest ever on a bike. Frequent stops and it was easy. I actually arrived feeling better then when I take my car. The route was Columbus Ohio up 71, across NY on 90 (with my ez-pass velcroed to the top of my trunk I got green lights at all but the last...
