    Litterbugs

    I did this once, someone threw a cigarette butt out the window and it landed in my lap. So I returned it to them. But this person is on a mission. Xbs6eMxa5ds

    Tell me about Wee-Stroms

    I am going to look at a 2012 V-Strom 650 with less than 5K miles on it tomorrow. Totally stock, never down but some scratches on the muffler guard. What should I be on the lookout for?

    2005 BMW 1200GS

    Update: I got a deposit for the bike so it is off the market. This is a great commuter bike that I don't want to get rid of, but my dreams of having a bike I could take off-roading were dashed the first time I took it off road. It can go off road, but it is not as much fun as a little 250...

    Gear for kids

    I am getting my son a 50 cc dirt bike for his 6th birthday, he is finally able to flat foot it. Is CycleGear the best place to outfit him? BARF Classifieds and Craigslist will be hit and miss and it would be great if a moto shop has a bunch of different sizes to try.

    Would you rather a car pull to the right or into the median?

    tWn5Q_z2UCE This is getting so common that it happens at least once per ride. Why drive in the median (and slow down) when you can just pull to the right? At least they see me!
