Re: Simple Question for today. Q. What DO YOU WANT in 2025?

I want my Bully back. Waiting for a parts list from the mechanic to see what all needs replaced in the gearbox.

I'd like some affordable EV dual sports. I don't know that I'd buy one, but it would be very attractive.
And more riders, as always, but also more rider education.
If I can get very ...

Re: How many mirrors you have on your bike?

The two the bike came with, but I've been known to wear a mirror on a bracelet on my left wrist too. I used to use it to make sure my cameras were still recording.

Yeah, the dialog box for pic uploads says 300kb is the limit, but it's actually 150kb.

Re: New guy here.

Hello!

First, congratulations on making the decision. That's half the battle right there is deciding you want to. You're on the right track.
After reading your posts a few times, I think your best bet is the Scout to start on. It's a very even-tempered machine with predictable power delivery and ...

Re: To Ride an Iron Horse - Jack of the Green's Blog

I think one of the greatest tensions in all the world is the tension between preparation and freedom. May I elaborate? Of course I may, it's my blog.

We went for a ride yesterday. Yesterday was January 1st and we live in the United State of Utah, which is at the 40th Parallel and USDA hardiness ...

Re: Happy New Year 2024 from Total Motorcycle!

Eloquently put, Sir.

It's a sad state the world is in in when we've decided to use AI to create art and humans to deliver groceries. It was supposed to be the other way 'round... :(

Re: Every now and again .....

I remember you Paul! I've made your sausage-stuffed pork loin recipe half a dozen times over the years, and I still recount the story you told about Marshalling for a gay pride event to customers in my store.

Glad to hear you're doing well and still riding, thanks for popping your head in. I've ...

Re: To Ride an Iron Horse - Jack of the Green's Blog

Missing my Bully this morning.

Bully, you say? Well, that's Bully owner-speak for the Suzuki Boulevard M109R. It's possible owners of smaller Boulevards also call them Bully's, but I'm pretty sure the honorific is reserved for the big one. Anyway...

Yeah, missing the bike.

He's here, of course ...

Re: I am a leaf on the wind!

What matters is that you're happy with the decision. The GS is definitely going to be the more premium choice. I'm just wary of anything not Big 4 after watching my friends struggle to keep their Euro bikes on the road.
Revilla published an excellent ride report on the revised 2024 GS1300, you ...
