It thought it looked more like an off road Sutra. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I was just checking this out. http://cog.konaworld.com/archives/12172 It's nice to see another bike company jumping into the All Terrain bike category. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

There's been some great advice so far, another bike to look at is the Kona Sutra. I has a more mountain bike feel but rides very nice and comes equipped well, jut don't use the front rack with out modification. 2 of us spent 2 weeks riding on the Pacific coast this past Fall and had zero issues.

Check out www.handpresso.com they now have an auto version that can be plugged in. I have been using the hand powered one on motorcycle trips.

Just Photos.

Hi, my name is Mike and I ride bikes. Here is a selection of some of my bikes I have right now, and a few previous ones. My newest bike, Kona Entourage I'm on the right with my DH rig for last summer, a Kona Operator. The rider in the middle is Charlie Boorman of the "Long Way..." series...

A friend of mine who is a Stude collector and Mechanic/Mechanics Instructor was recently telling me that the classic car clubs have been having issues with POR-15 not sticking or peeling off over time. They figure the quality has gone down or there is a bad batch. The classic car guys have...

I apply a lot of the 3M stone guard to bikes to protect the paint jobs, it's not that hard just make sure that the hood is clean and you use the water solution to keep it from sticking right away. One other thing that people miss is that the sticker can stretch as you apply it and that can cause...

I had some custom guards made for my motorcycle years ago. I did the cutting and bending and then had a welding shop weld it up for me. It cost me a case of beer.

Most of my exercise and motivation comes from work. I spend the winter Telemarking and the summer downhill mountain biking. With all the repetitive strain injuries and potential to over train I spend most of my training time doing stretching and injury prevention. When I'm not targeting a...

Don't bother upgrading your bike, it's not set up to take suspension or disc brakes. Ride it until you get a better idea of what you want and then purchase something. Keep a look out for used bikes, you can find some amazing deals. The bike world is like the computer world right now and 1-2...

Summer patrol at Whistler mountain has a Rhino and it works great, the power to wieght ratio is good and it is much smaller then a sammi making it easier to access the back country with doing too much damage.

I prefer the diesel for it's low end torgue and lower RPM power delivery, simplicity and especially it's fuel economy/range. With emission standards becoming stricter, sensors and computers are the only way to go. I just hope the electronics become more user friendly and reliable. I read an...

For more research, you may want to look at winterized military vehicles. I picked up some really good tips from how the winterized Land Rover Wolfs are set up and from talking to people who maintain them. After looking at different heating systems I’m a fan of the Webasto & Eberspacher coolant...

Around here I don't think they are mandatory, but with the amount of salt and debris it makes sense to have them. It also protects the vehicles around you on the highway, I get 2 - 3 new chips in the windshield each spring before they clean all the grit off the roads from rocks being kicked up...
