My buddies and I produced this video series riding to Inuvik on the Dempster Highway. The Dempster is the only all-season road in Canada to cross the Arctic Circle and the scenery is phenomenal. A highly recommended adventure... with knobbies ;) Part 1: <object width="853" height="505"><param...

Ok, so my KTM 640 Adventure is waiting for parts, and that's a problem because I was scheduled to go out on an adventure ride with some friends. I'm loath to cancel, and the only bike I'm testing right now even close to looking adventure-esque is my Ducati Hypermotard long-termer. So obviously...

Let me know what you folks think. Effort was hampered a bit by it being 5 Celsius out, so the cornering shots are a bit lame: SD & HQ version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G84ty3Uahr8&fmt=18 High-Def...

I had the chance to spend the past two and a half months with the F800GS before BMW snapped and demanded it back. Of course winter here on the wet-coast buggered all that up a bit, so I decided to embrace my environment and shot the video anyways...

I've been thinking about the nature of media of late and contemplating releasing reviews under Creative Commons licensing rather than just hoarding them on my site. So what the heck, giving it a whirl. If it offends I'll kill it off. Cheers, Neil http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=xJNSJrNJjlU...

It's that time of year again and as Christmas’s massive red and green commercial presence looms on the holiday horizon, I find myself charged with creating a "wish list". This is akin to going into a record sotre for me, the moment I enter all good idea's of what I was there for disappear. So...

Actually I'm not sure if they are shiny and happy or if the ST model has been beaten senseles with the uglystick.

Mental. This bike is just mental. It single handedly ruined a perfect track record. It did it easily, and afterwards I was grinning like an teenager who’d just dragged a knee for the first time. The track record WAS this: I've never wheelied a loaner bike – on purpose or by accident till...

Ok, I'm a sport/SPORT-touring guy at heart but the local Beemer dealer hucked me the R1200C Montauk to test and... I liked it... I'm not a total convert or anything, but I think I finally get the cruiser thing. That or I was blinded by all the chrome. Now all it needs is another 40hp to...

Just tooooooo hot looking. Man I hope this makes it's way to our shores. http://www.onewheeldrive.net/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=107&Itemid=70

Well, Beemer's sprung a leak again and surprise, surprise, it's a new R1200... but this time it's most likely the R1200RT. All we have is speculation at this point but the members of the Spanish site BMWMotos (which was then picked up by the folks at the ADVrider.com forums) caught some snaps...

Just got back from the 2004 Indianapolis Dealer Expo. Know it's horribly sexist and all that but there were “Umbrella Girls” galore (say… wasn’t that a Bond movie?) We chose instead to go after craftier prey. Emma Peel, eat your heart out!

I'm heading out on the road for end of February and will be using the "City" as a base of operations. So what are the must do rides I can not miss? Any other bike'centric spots/hangouts I should make an effort to get out to? Keep in mind of course I reserve the right to write about it all...

Just thought I'd introduce myself, ZenOfZoom (ZoZ for short). I'm an out of towner, but end up in the City periodically. Riding 9 years and counting, current beasty is a VFR800. Previously tragicly lost beastie - K1200RS... And right now here in the great white north (Vancouver)... it is...
