Are the Street 500 and 750 still in production?

After owning a number of Adventure bikes I figured out that most of them are far too heavy to keep up or pick up. You either ride with a group or go slow or both. By contrast, my Yamaha WR250R had much better trail performance and could keep up with highway traffic. But the seat ain’t so...

My L3200 had a 50 hour then 200 hour service.

P After HD bought Buell, I walked into Manchester, NH HD to look at their Adventure model, the Ulysses. I was in riding gear. Two salesmen just sat there. One of the parts guys saw me looking at the bike and came out and started chatting. He knew all about the bike, and expressed hope they’d...

We always contact friends and family. My 35yo nephew was about to trade in a Honda Accord to the dealer. Great running condition but had some dings, faded paint etc. perfect….

After looking at various models and talking to the guy at REI, bought the Garmin Fenix 8 Amoled Sapphire. Had a bunch of credits with the coop so it was just over half price. The guy’s original suggestion was one of the running models, but skiing, hiking and sailing made the Fenix a better...

Subaru used to equip Outbacks with Bridgestone Potenza Re92’s. They were rated 23rd out of 25 A/S tires on snow and ice. A friend of mine got tboned after picking up his new Outback in Maine in a snowstorm, then sliding through the stop sign right next to the dealership.
