monsoon

Hello Long time reader, first time poster from austria here. I've been looking for a softbag system for my 1993 Twin and came across the Enduristan Monsoon 3 Saddle bags. On their homepage they say you can use them without a rack on a XRV650, is someone of you using them on a RD07 (with or...

Mitas E-09 tyre – 0/5 stars CANNOT recommend. Background: I was given a brand new Mitas E-09 tyre, for free to review, by the South African distributor for use on our overland trip through South East Asia on a Honda Africa Twin. We are two-up and fully loaded. I think that the...

Took my FMX for replacement head bearings and was "fortunate" enough to be offered a courtesy bike (first time in 19yrs of riding mind you:() I had the dubious pleasure of a CBF600N. When reviewers say it is boring they understate the point slighlty :sleepy5::shock::sleepy5: The engine is...

I drove to work this morning in a raging monsoon with very strong wind. My TA700 was fine, however as I got near office I realised that neutral light on, (I was definitely in 5th) the bike dried out during day an light off on way home. SMcG

I need some help / feedback. I want a One Piece rain suit that has the double full leg zips i.e. same design as the Triumph. I am looking for something I can put on in a hurry, monsoon rain invariably hits like a wall, over stiff high touring boots, jeans and a mesh jacket. The Triumph suit is...

Dear Folks Just returned to biking after about 15 years. Bought a 3 year old XR400 with only 180 km on the clock which I use for a 5 mile ride to work. I'm loving it but have a few questions: The bike runs generally well but misses a wee bit at about 110kph. It also missed a fair bit at...

I am new to the TA with knobbly tyres all my other bikes have had 'normal' road tyres. 2 days this week and one day last week I drove to/from work in torrential rain. each trip is 20 miles with about 10 crossing Glasgow streets and the other 10 on motorway/dual carriageway. The tyres (trailwing)...

Yes... I have bought one.. And I've only ridden it 13 miles in the last 5 hours because it's sodding well raining like a monsoon. So F****d off.. (But I have managed to spin up the backend :-) )

A MASSIVE thank you to Richie, Lord Vader, Chad and Whealie for going out of their way to help me out. There I was..... ;) .. travelled down to Horsham on Sunday night for an early start on Monday morning. Nice hotel, unload the bike, just repositioning the bike to somewhere secure in the...

I Love my Tour-X to peices, but there are times it's just not up to it, and last night was one of them... I did 150 miles in that Monsoon and what can I say, it just mists up so so bad... I should of used my standard Shoei, I spent half the ride wondering we're the hell I was! Pondering...

This is kinda a ride report. Well Guys, I'm finally a proper member of the forum. I bought my first AT. Boxerdogs-1999 Black RD07a (The fastest colour I hear). :D I heard about this forum from a friend of mine who has an AT. All it took was 3 days to get hooked. The AT just sounded...
