    Cardo Pactalk BOLD vs Sena 30K

    I haven't seen many comparisons of these two units out there so I thought I'd post something about it. My riding group generally standardized a few years ago on Sena units. I had a 10C for a long time and a 10C PRO, and eventually bought a 30K when I smashed the lens on the 10C PRO with a rock...

    What was your most recent expensive screw up?

    Bike related or not; mine was torquing the front axle bolt on my Multi to 140+nm ... it went bang and I re-read the specs and that was for the front sprocket. $185 (new axle, new bolt). Idiot.

    I don't know what to say. The idiocy astounds me.

    So, I nearly got taken out by a dude on a BMW R1100R yesterday morning on the Bay Bridge, when he decided to just insert himself into my life by joining the split from in front of a truck without looking. If you read this, please understand, you shouldn't be fucking riding a motorcycle...

    The King is Dead, Long Live the King.

    nxxa1VjBzVw 196 at the rear wheel with all the emissions bullshit on it. For context, the Panigale V4S is claiming 214bhp at the crank and gets 189 at the rear wheel on that same dyno.

    2019 Ducati Multistrada Touring S

    So, with my disenchantment with my Tiger Explorer growing daily, I pulled the trigger on a new Multistrada 1260 Touring S. (bonus KTM Ken in the background) After 5 days of riding it, I'm completely besotted. The Panigale sulks in the garage and the only thing that makes her even look at me...
