This is your one and only bike forever. Consider your age and how long it will last you as well as what you need it to do. Which bike?

I know this sounds remedial, but in 30 years of riding I have never bought a bike at a dealership lol. I found a 2015 DL650 brand new at a local dealership. They knocked $2500 off MSRP and asking $7900 - but I think it is still priced too high. There are Gen 2 DL's all over the internet for...

I just wanted to log in one last time to let everyone know that BARF is being censored by Budman who personally, without mod vote suspended me from the "private" sub-forum for speaking my views on George HW Bush. He said he didn't like my "attitude" - and would have "escorted" me out of his...
