My ultra reliable 2009 ST1300 has developed a coolant leak at the thermostat junction. Most likely a loose hose clamp. Looking forward to an all day job of pulling off the plastic and the radiator to gain access. Fun stuff... Not really.

Picked these up on eBay. They are overlays and screw right on top of the factory ones with slightly longer screws. I wanted them to pop more so I put some black tape underneath.

Just got back from the local Auto Show which always manages to fit a small motorcycle dealer display in the basement. There I checked out the new Triumph Street Twin, and declared it glorious and on my to do list once my finances are in order.

However, I was cruising the Moto Guzzi site, and saw the new V9 which has been on the back of my mind since the Ducati Scrambler came out. So, I present to you [url=http://v9.motoguzzi.com/en/]The Moto Guzzi V9

Be sure to download the accessory catalogue pdf and its imperfectly translated descriptions. Heck, at least they get a catalogue of accessories.

I guess they are headed to the US, the American site has info on them. The site I linked was the international one. Much more fun, and with videos to watch.

Enjoy!

I've been looking around and it seems like you can get the old school honda look without spending $5,000 on a CB750 look alike kit from japan. I've been looking online and there are some great paint schemes out there. I wonder what the cost would be to get one of these paint jobs done?
This is my favorite.

I know some here enjoy mountains and motorcycles and this is a shot I took in 2010 when a buddy and I took a group tour of the Canadian Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta.

Aussies and southern Cali boys. See what fun you're missing?

On February 12, 2016. i was in a collision on The freeway. All vehicles came to a stop and i was unable to stop fast enough, ending up with me hitting the truck in front of me. My prized possession now needs a few things to get her back to pristine condition. the front fender, head light, right mirror, throttle slider and left front blinker all need to be replaced. I am looking for new like items to put on my bike.. PLEASE HELP!!! If you have anything please inbox me. if you see anything else on the bike i might need please tell me thank you for looking. sorry for the bad picture i will add more later today when i get home

Friend: "That sticker makes it look like the mask of a knight's horse"

Me: "Dude, I'm a friggin' knight!"

Cheers from Costa Rica

In my recent quest for a touring bike I have gone from the CTX to ST to FJR, etc etc to just adding a full shield and boxes to my CB. Yes, the CB is a very versatile bike and there are a lot of fine examples of it set up for touring here, but I think it looks best IMHO.....the way I have it now. So, the last stop in my quest was at my local BMW dealer. I went there with the intention of just looking at the F800 thingy and seeing how that felt and ended up putting a deposit on a R1200RT (ouch). The question I keep putting to myself is, where does this put the CB in my life ? I don't expect anyone to answer that question, just pondering keeping or selling. I think if someone really wanted a really pretty DLX with only 800 miles, I might consider selling, but not at the used prices I am seeing lately.
