    Why blame the AA membership and most of those that run it,? not all are anti motorcycle cunts..The subjective views of the head of AA are not everyones views....

    The same as recent threads on the boss's of Ulysses and BRONZ (ACC),that was their subjective, not that of their commit's or membership, talk about cut off your nose to spite your face, most "people" are their own worst enemys..

    Have a nice Christmas and new year !!!

    didnt see that
    saw an option presented for those who dont want to support an organisation that clearly doesnt support motorcyclists
    BTW if you put BRONZ in as promotion code you get a 10% discount and BRONZ gets a $15 donation

    Merry xmas

    On FahrtSturms it's pretty common, and suspected to be linked to the front CCT not getting enough oil.
    Should've left the setup they used on the TL1000's! Much bettera.

    It's always seemed to me like a slightly pointless and inefficient way to design an engine.

    Now in Kaikoura with a nice shiny new VStrom, and a number of the old bits off the old one transferred over. Suzuki have improved it slightly over the past 4 years. It does seem a bit smoother at low revs and pulls nicely at low throttle settings. The previous one had to be kept above 3000 rpm or it ran a bit rough.
