    Don't go 101%....

    Sharing this, so we can all learn from mistakes and stupid behavior. So my group of riding friends has a "rule" we're never going over 90%. My buddies and I were out riding the canyons the other day. Very familiar ground, we ride there every weekend, always in Track mode, traction control...

    Review Kopp spaghetti exhaust link pipe.

    Fed up with the stainless lunchbox under the swingarm, I decided to buy/try the elbow link pipe from Thomas Kopp for my 2019 FTR. This is a cat replacement pipe that mimics the inside length of the resonator and has a cat inside to add a bit of back pressure and make it a bit quieter than a...

    Divorce averted... (a love story)

    As some of you may know, my other bike is a Vitpilen 701. So, lately the love for my little Vit was slowly dying. It had developed into a love/hate relationship. I love the way it looks, but I was slowly starting to dislike the way it steers. Too sensitive on the front wheel/bars, too much...

    Mupo suspension front and rear

    As some may know I've been using a Mupo rear shock for a while, and recently upgraded to Mupo LCRR fork cartridges. It's not that I didn't like the stock "S" suspension, it's actually pretty good for an average 170-220lbs rider imho. But not perfect. It can be harsh on ruts and cracks, while at...
