Unless you head to the UK, side of the road is not an issue. Signs aren't that hard to sort out. At least the signs that really matter. The "danger of falling into a canal" (there is one!) is pretty obvious. Parking and access (open to everybody, only the folks who live here, bicycles and hikers...

I finally got a chance to spend some time reading an article in Tourenfahrer (German "Touring Rider" magazine) about trying to ride from Hamburg to Vienna on a Moto Guzzi. The "project" from a 20+ years ago marathon ride in something well under 24 hours. Moto Guzzi got involved in this...

Hogback Mountain, VT Rt 9, Marlboro, VT Taken while heading home on a trip from NW of Phila. to Canterbury, NH. The reason for the trip was to attend my step-brother's Old Time Days festival on his farm. David and I don't do a good job of keeping in touch. The festival was a good excuse to show...

Ah, but you might think differently after spending some time using the 6-speed tranny. Your point about added complexity is well taken.

"'To each their own', the old lady said as she kissed her cow."

And the next trip will be...?

I used a pair of these while doing non-stop video on a trip. I left the camera screen on (bad idea) as well as running the camera-phone app to let me check, on the fly, aiming and look for bug splats. They're both current suckers, as are cameras in general. I used two 50K mAh packs, swapping...

AFAIK the 30K is generally not well regarded except for the net capability (fine you're running with a pack of stunters, who don't wear helmets anyway) and maybe a couple of other items. Put the 30K feature list against the 20S EVO list - 30K does not do well. This review, with the text/speech...

Somehow I think could live with that compromise.

A vs ES is a matter of taste or preference. I've got it, I like it now that I've set it for my preferences.There is a learning curve involved. The A's fine once it's set up correctly ("one and done" process). Having now put on some (four wheel) miles in TX, NM, and AZ after coming from "back...

On-line Cycle World 2016 review excerpt: There's an argument for the 6-speed tranny. Which isn't to say a 5-speed is trash and should be ignored. A few people have retro-fitted the clutch to pre-16 models. Which suggests it has some value for even 5-speed versions. I have a '17 and am quite...

Grounded for three months by a broken thumb (bicycles am de debil!) followed by 1 1/2 month road trip on four wheels to AZ then three weeks in Germany followed by icy roads and stinkin' cold. Short on sympathy here, too. ;P When your videos wear out... Disgustingly sunny weather, downright hot...

That's so exciting about Base Metabolic Rate? ;p

It's probably just a story to scare tourists away, but, according to a couple of people I know in the Seattle area, the weather can turn to non-stop clouds, rain, and generally depressing weather to the point where (Seasonal Affective Disorder) becomes a very real problem which can push up the...

I've used the USB adapter and recommend it. Concerning the current needed for charging,, I don't have a Cardo unit, but a Sena 20S draws about .2 A (200 mA) when it's first plugged in (probably battery in-rush or the battery is very "thirsty" to begin with and demand drops as the battery...

My point isn't that this engine is the victim of C10 Syndrome. Of course it's not. It's that, however the gas got into the cylinder (something that should be sorted out), I'm puzzled as to how this engine didn't bend a rod or whatever. Particularly because #2 had the least leak-down / best...

Having lunched a C10 after trying to start it one morning. Not even a full crank rev and BANG! The culprit was a cylinder full of fuel. The cause was a mix of "user error" and a less than effective tank valve. This is/was a known problem. Although engine vacuum was supposed to get fuel flowing...

I'm not trying to get on Garmin here. Lots of stuff drops out of support but keeps on running. The gotcha is that if something goes sour, it's not going to be fixed.

I forgot about that. I wonder how long 302 can hold out before (ugh!) another area code is needed. (As in: 301 splits into 410/301 - I still can't keep straight who in eastern MD has which area code)
