Yea, so long Victory Motorcycles. :( I know some riders swear by them. I guess getting market share from HD was just too big a hurdle. Wait,......... maybe DT can persuade them to not shut down? :)...
This is interesting. Look at the mods this guy has done to his CTX1300 (Granted it isn't a CTX700) to make his bike gravel capable. All sorts of rock shields, 50-50 tires (my words, not his), and he also put a car tire on the rear wheel...
I got this photograph from Andy on Facebook who did this auxiliary foot peg mod. He and another guy swear by it in terms of comfort. It is very easy to do. Any thoughts?
Does anyone else think the bike runs a little bit on the "buzzy side? I only have 3 thousand miles on my bike so I don't think it is the valves or tune up related, but who knows? I am thinking that maybe it is the DCT that makes it feel that way?
Heading out to the "Damn Yankees" rally in Heath, MA All sane bikes welcome.
Heading out to the Damn Yankees Rally in Western MA for 4 days of riding and camping. Should ride NH, VT, MA, CT, and NY. It is a BMW rally where all makes of bikes are welcome.
I was hoping to start a thread where members can bring up safety tips or tell us about a close call and what they learned.
I will start it out with an incident that happened to me today. I usually wear all the gear all the time, but recently I started wearing only my helmet when only going...
I just installed my Rox Risers and it really brings the bars up and back much more than I would have ever guessed. I can't wait to do a long ride to evaluate the decrease in riding fatique.
All the cables are fairly loose except the brake hydraulics tube. It is fairly tight, but appears to...
I was just on another site and a Internet friend said she was going to do the Cabot Trail around Cape Brenton Island in Nova Scotia. I have done it a couple of times before in conjunction with my studies of the French colonization of North America. Thinking of doing it again. Do any other...
I learned, or relearned, a few things.

I just noticed that my left handlebar does not look like my right one. The right handlebar of course is also the throttle, but the left has no real additional function other than a grip. I don't believe that the gap, one inch in, was there when I got the bike, but I am not sure. I did tow the...
This Winter I researched aftermarket rear shocks with adjustments that the stock shock doesn't have. Here are some pictures.
The first photo shows the easily usable damping adjustment and the rear wheel height adjustment: The second and third photo depicts the external fluid reservoir which...
Just a reminder to gain "muscle Memory" as to the location of your "Kill Switch"
I just caught this thread on the NC700 site concerning malfunctions on a DCT African Twin. The bike starts revving up toward red line while the bike is in "D", without any input from the rider. The thread covers...
