Weird. This is usually one of those "news items" that comes on April 1: April Fools.

Richard, the entire category of ADV bikes is a study in psychology to me. From the very beginning, I thought the front-end "beaks" were ugly. Plus, most are too big for at least half of the riders in...

Not that it matters at all, but ... I listened closely to the video and I don't think it was THE Amazon River she crossed, but rather one of the uncountable tributaries to THE Amazon River....

So, Lyle, you like the typical ATV front end styling, eh? I think it is downright ugly and looks like a bird's beak. So I vote thumbs up on the Harley PanAm 1250. But otherwise I agree with you: Go...

That looks faked to me, so ... no, i don't believe i would do that for a friend.:confused:

Does she really buy the bikes? I figured they were donated/loaned by the manufacturers. It has been great publicity for Royal Enfield.

Ken, you have been a lucky man your entire life. You have a wonderful wife who cares for you and loved you enough to allow you to ride a motorcycle and discover the world from two wheels. You rode...

I sort of agree with you, but with one change: I propose that when they vote to deploy troops into combat they must first enlist their own children into uniform. That will make them really examine...

I frequently think about guys I know/knew who went to Vietnam for their Senior Trip. Most of us went somewhere fun for our Senior Trip, but others were unlucky.

Indeed you were very lucky.

Amen Chris. Well said and thank you. My war (Vietnam) was a lifetime ago and I returned unscathed on the outside. I was 24 when I went and about 45 when I returned a year later. I echo you thoughts...

Richard, very cool. Wayne Carini (Chasing Classic Cars) loves Isettas and has featured several on his show over the years. I always enjoy seeing them. I recall (I think) seeing one in Jay Leno's...

Chris, thank you for taking us (me) on the trip. Brought back some great memories of riding in and around and through the Mountain West.

Richard, these do sound reasonable, but ... I will bet that there are equally reasonable sounding explanations/stories that are completely different. Other languages than English likely have similar...

Actually, I am ready for this. I assume the technology will advance quickly and the infrastructure (highway design, etc) will be in place by 2030 or thereabouts. I wish the rest of the US would...

Ducati is one of the coolest, sexiest brands in motorcycledom. But the practical side of the brand has usually left something to be desired. I liked the original Monster 750, but never liked the...

I'll miss the Sportster and the VFR800 series and the Ducati Monsters, but I think there are enough of them all still on the road that, in my lifetime, I will never stop seeing them on the streets....

Interesting logic. I remember not too many years ago when the Prius first was offered for sale, hardly anyone believed such "weird" technology would ever be mainstream. Today you cannot drive...

You are correct of course but ... this logic that "the climate has always changed" is one of the reasons we humans have such a short-term view of the problem. There is nothing "we" can do about...

Original Yamaha V-Max and the original Ducati Multistrada are both on my list of worst bikes. Maybe some of you folks liked them, but not me and my butt.

Depends on how long term your view is. I am mostly thinking about my grandkids and great-grandkids (yet to come), and repairing the world's environment is a heck of a lot more important--and less...

Likely not the main military combat vehicles, but there are LOTS of vehicles in all the motor pools around the world that could likely be electrified.

Ditto.
Ditto.
Ditto.
(sigh)

Man, that sucks for you. Sorry to hear it. I have sporadic tinnitus and so I am OK on the bike--most of the time. Good luck.

Actually, you're in luck. Now the entire video series is available to you and it is really well-done and interesting--if you watch from the very beginning. Since the pandemic struck, Noraly has been...
