    European Trip, How far is too far?

    Being a new tourer I might hazard a comment. First of all you didn't actually list any mileages, daily or total, and frankly I can't be bothered to check the distances you plan. I did a tour of Europe in last September, about 9000km in 16 days or so. That included a couple of 800+ km days (two...

    V7 Classic aftermarket pics and videos

    Listening on proper hi-fi equipment sounds more authorative without the baffles. Then again internet videos are pretty useless for sound no matter what you use to listen to the sound. First the camera's mic overloads, then the sound gets compressed by software - usually more than once before...

    Bellagio screen and pannier pictures required

    I took about 300 pics at the 2009 Helsinki Bike Show yesterday but unfortunately my camera decided it would be terribly funny to only take vga resolution pics even though I especially checked before that the camera was set to take 5 Mpix pictures! So my pics are mostly practically useless...

    Norge Top Case lock

    Does someone know who actually makes the luggage? Givi/Kappa? I believe all their hard luggage has easily replaceable lock cylinders so you can change them to have just one key (panniers + top box). If the lock cylinder is the "standard" one they should be available from any Givi/Kappa dealer.

    Norge Starter Issue

    A fully charged, properly functioning battery should have a voltage of close to 13 volts. I've seen 12 volts listed as a "replace immediately - no longer serviceable" limit in several sources. Charge the battery and measure the voltage directly from the terminals using a multi meter. Check...

    The Weight Issue

    Or are you guys in denial? "It's a feature, not a problem!" ;) :P When it came out they claimed 215 kg (474 lbs) dry weight. In the test ride articles all the test riders were rather suspicious if that could be true, I recall. Now in a magazine listing all the 2009 models available in...

    SW Motech tank bag for Breva, Norge & Sport

    Re:SW Motech Tank Bag for Breva Norge & Sport The Bags Connection tank bags are stiff enough that they won't touch the paint at all, unless you put bricks in them or something. Of course this may vary somewhat from model to model. Also with magnetic tank bags one tends to sooner or later...

    Well, I admit to not being an expert, but I will still claim that anyone who knows anything about the administrative culture and apparatus of the former USSR will pay a lot of money and make considerable efforts to have absolutely nothing to do with it! :) The vehicle taxation was...
