Kawasaki
MotorcycleUSA.com has put up a review of the midsized Ninja.  Popular with beginning riders and frugal riders, it's also a fine one up sport-touring rig.



A snippet from the article...

Under the hood, so to speak, engineers made no parts changes to the 8-valve 649cc Parallel Twin. However, tuning changes courtesy of new EFI settings claim to enhance bottom-end torque and allow the engine to rev quicker with better response low to mid range. The ’09 mill also sports a smaller, lighter exhaust catalyzer. Our test unit topped out on the dyno at 61.7 horsepower and 41.4 lb-ft torque. (Those numbers fall from the dyno stats taken during our 2006 c...

BMW
2009 was a tough year for motorcycle sales.  Every manufacturers had large sales drops, but one of them is touting the fact they seemed to buck the trend by quite a bit.

BMW announced the news on Monday, January 11, touting sales data from the Motorcycle Industry Council. According to BMW (MIC annual report not yet available for confirmation), the US motorcycle market dropped 41%, to the tune of almost 360,000 unit sales lost. BMW sales dipped 22%, “which was the smallest decline among all motorcycle brands.”

This is from the lips of BMW:

“Our dedicated dealers were the key to our success this past year,” continued Andersen in the press announcement. “Despite the tough market, they continued serve our customers well a

xx Dolomites and Livigno 2009 - link to a long trip report with lots of pics | 07 Jan 10

Ride Reports
After the successful trips to The French and Swiss Alps - 2006 - The Pyrenees - 2007 - and the Hautes Alpes - 2008 - BBOT (Bewdley Bikers on Tour) decided that 2009 would see them in the Dolomites and Livigno. Rather than post a long trip report, Kyle who is one of the BBOT riders and an expert in website design, decided that we should have our own website and that all our trips should be available on the site. Hence the slight delay in bringing this report to you as the final details were only finished this week

You can find the report here:

http://www.bbot.co.uk

as well as the reports for the other trips.

You'll find a lot of useful information - roads to ride, passes to cross, hotels worth staying in, hotels to avoid, and lo...

Every Christmas, I get my two-week reprieve from the cold and gloom of Texas to visit my family and home back on the Big Island of Hawaii.  It's obviously something I look forward to every year, but this year even more so, since one of my good budd...
