I’m sure, like every other biker in the world, you have some deep-seated emotional attachment to your motorcycle. To many of us, it’s a part of the family and to some even more cherished than the wife, if only because you can get a ride without that pretense of the headache or the bribe of [...]

The Uno
Saw it recently at the Toronto bike show, albeit as a none-working prototype. To me, it looked like it pitched you way too far forward to feel comfortable – both physically and mentally when moving at speed.
Maybe I’ll wait for an actual video before I sign up for a test ride.

I’d like to announce the addition of a new member of my family. I just put a shiny white Tiger into my garage, just to balance things out – That’s two KTMs and two Triumphs now. The Daytona has been my main bike for two years but touring around Nova Scotia last year gave me [...]

And here it is. Mind you, for about CDN$85,000, it would have to be. Am off to the Canadian launch for this tomorrow so pictures will follow.

Why is it so hard to buy a bike? Actually, let me rephrase that and ask why is it so hard to decide which bike to buy?
I’ll take a step back. For some time now, I’ve been thinking about adding a general purpose, all-round, everything to everyman (and woman) type bike to my garage. [...]
