    PSA: Maybe it's time to wash your riding gear? Cleaning greasy riding gear.

    My riding gear is grey; they show grease & dirt stains wonderfully. I’ve washed my Oylmpia riding pants a couple times without making them noticeably cleaner. That grease and road grime was ground in. Then my newish Helite Adventure jacket developed an oil stain. Hunting for grease removers I...

    Has the Internet Made You Cluelessly Modify Your Motorcycle For The Worst?

    There's an interesting interview with a retired Honda Canada engineer on Adventure rider radio- He says (I'm paraphrasing) that the factory spends years optimizing their models (suspension, tires, performance & weight) and chances are anything the rider does to change their bike is going to...

    I ordered the Givi V35 panniers, Givi-PLX1111 racks and GIVI 1111KIT adaptor plates for my 2016 NC750x. Once I tried fitting them I realized the adaptor plates aren’t long enough to clear the rear plastics! Supertux1 had the same problem fitting his Givi Trekkers here-...

    Electronic owner’s manual (PDF version)

    When I travel for a couple days I usually bring an iPad with me. Even on the Vespa I’d bring it. Then I realized I could download the Vespa manuals to it and use it on the road. Since my iPad is in an otterbox, I could even wash my greasy handprints off it (unlike my paper service manual). I...

    Ontario NC750x DCT Pricing ?

    Hi All- I'm toying with the idea of buying the DCT version and wondering if anyone has found any dealer wiggle room on the pricing. Honda Canada gives the Ontario net price (fees but not taxes) at $10,604. This would be a trade up from my 2007 Vespa 250 with 35k on it. Due to carpel...
