It's working! Look at how clean the rear shock is in the picture...
Rule #1 in motorcycle safety: Make sure you are being seen on your motorcycle ride!
An overwhelming percentage of car-motorcycle crashes involve the car driver saying "I never even saw the motorcycle." Sad as this may be, it's also a reminder that we should be taking steps toward making sure our bikes are "Impossible to Ignore."
As the folks at Hyper Lites® are showing us with their modulating brake & running lights, car drivers are going to be running out of excuses once you've installed their lighting system. Affordable and easy to install, why wait for someone to claim they never saw you?
Another gripe new owners of a BMW R1200GS or GS Adventure will have is that the original skid plate that BMW gives us is a bit of a joke.
Maybe you've seen these in a parking lot somewhere, but weren't able to figure out who makes them?
BMW made a pretty good bike in the R1200GS and GS Adventure, right?
As fine a bike as BWM's R1200GS Adventure is, the motorcycle is not without its shortcomings.
How should you pack? With a topcase or a waterproof bag strapped across the back?
Not trying to be too direct here, but BMW R1200GS Adventure owners need to buy these engine guards from Adventure Designs. Might as well do so, cause you're going to pay for them one way or another!
Sometimes it's "the little things" that make us love our motorcycles. Whether it's memories of an incredible adventure ride or how we've "fit" the motorcycle to our own ergonomic perfection, it sure feels great to be truly "connected" to the bike we ride.
