The NOTCH TOUR will be in Vermont again this year, the last weekend of July, details to come. BTW, I noticed today that HONDA thinks touring the "Notches" ( they call them passes) is a good thing to do ,also. Check this out...

I got back last week from this years long ride. Three weeks total, four days out, a few days in Rapid City SD, three days to Schrieber Canada ( not on a lot of maps), three days to Fort Dix NY via; Sault St Marie, North Bay and Ottawa, a few days in Lake Placid then Home. It was a...

I found a very good review of the X ADV. Not in English, but, with subtitles. I have seen other videos showing the X ADV running off road and was curious about foot placement, as the floor boards are not long. This video shows add on foot pegs aft of the floor boards and apparently an accessory...

I was looking through the parts catalog and opened the drawing for the cam chain parts. I thought it might be nice to have an extra chain tensioner for long trips. Guess what?, there is a new tensioner. It's oil operated,( not a bad thing)and requires adding several parts and an oil line. The...

That coastal road in California is interesting, but, this one might be slightly more interesting. It's a long video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmm2tUcFOm8

If you have time to kill watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLqzH6YX7n8 Watch to the very absolute end, they do catch the guy.

On my way back from Mount Rushmore , I was thinking of going North of the Great lakes. It will be around the second week of June. How bad will the black flies be??

I am interested in the new Honda X ADV and found this while I was looking. Doesn't say much as I don't speak the young guys language. What really interested me was the MV AUGUSTA. If I ever have a Sport Bike, it should look sort of like that!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js7iU7OLhcw

Left yesterday for Gaspe' Quebec. The temperature was perfect in the 70's most of the way to my first stop in New Brunswick. Didn't take many pictures as there were to many trees in the way, and it was very very windy. . Did take one with Mount Kahtadin in the background, it's the Northern...

Last weekend I took four days for an easy trip to Maine.Nothing special going on , just to get out of the house and maybe see some Moose. Left on Thursday morning with some miles along the coast , New Hampshire into Maine, lots of ocean views and light pre-tourist season traffic.There are some...

I have been watching a lot of MC videos lately. I really enjoyed this one while having several cups of coffee on a Sunday morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f54WpE1OYi8

I finished putting the N2O system on my Sport last night, can't wait to try it out. It was sort of a pain to find a hidden spot for the gas bottle, as I didn't want to loose the storage capacity. The kit did come with everything you need, I didn't have to buy any assorted hardware. The "launch"...

I went to look at the 2016 models today. Both the GT and Sport were updated successfully in looks, in my opinion, although, nothing drastic. The GT looked a lot better than the previous version, yet the Sport is still better looking. The stern of the GT is rather "Burgman" fat, and I found the...

I hope everyone enjoys their holidays. It's going to be a warm day here in New England for this time of year. I would love to go for a ride, but, will opt for a visit with family and friends. Kurt

This morning I ran across an article in one of the online MC mags stating that Suzuki was having a recall (Canada)due to bad tappets, which could ruin the cam. There were several models effected including the Burgman. Over the years there have been many posts in various forums suggesting that...

YES, time to start planning for the 2016 "Notch Tour". It will be in Vermont and based in the Killington area, but, will start in Brattleboro on Friday morning. The dates will be September 16, 17, 18. Watch for details!!

I had been considering buying bigger saddle bags for a while now. I have GIVI E21 cases, and for weekend trips they work out well. For longer trips, I wanted something bigger, and was considering the E 360 model. I was reluctant to buy them as they are split opening, which is a disadvantage...

I took a couple of days off last week for an extra long weekend riding Vermont. There was a hill climb that Max BMW sponsored on Saturday and Sunday at Mount Ascutney and I thought I would go and watch. I considered entering, but, didn't want to have to drag along a tow car and trailer, in case...
