New Shocks for the Monkey ($129!)

Here’s the unboxing vid – Here’s the install vid – I’ll explain the ride difference once I get a chance to really get out on them and try them out. But so far they are much stiffer and I can’t bottom out just by sitting on the bike 😉.

Time for Another Adventure!

It has been awhile since we got back from Alaska/Canada and it is time for another Epic adventure.  This time we will be trekking on ancient ’80s machines. And this Honda Beauty: There is something about it not really being adventure if you are in complete control of the situation and that is probably whyContinue reading “Time for Another Adventure!”

Said Goodbye to the CTX700 and Grom, but Hello to a 2013 Honda NC700X

Picked this up for a very fair price last week and have started modifying it for Alaska. It only has 3000 miles on it which for a 2013 seems very low.  I drove it home about 60 miles and have since put another 90 miles on it.  It runs great and the power is justContinue reading “Said Goodbye to the CTX700 and Grom, but Hello to a 2013 Honda NC700X”

Food and Bikes!

Check this out on the Cooking Channel in a couple days!  This is Allan Karl, otherwise known as World Rider.  Allan is a serious motorcycle trekker, food aficionado and author! What’s even cooler is that he runs a Cobrra Nemo 2! Recently my guys at Cobrra headquarters reached out and let me know that Allan neededContinue reading “Food and Bikes!”

Motorcycle Transportation for Multiple People

I was thinking about how motorcycles are used in much of the world as a mainstay of transportation, both for individuals and products.  In the USA most motorcyclists use their motorcycles sparingly, like when the weather is good or maybe if there is a rally or ride.  Sure there are plenty of Americans that commuteContinue reading “Motorcycle Transportation for Multiple People”
