Going the distance: Metzeler Marathon ME 880

Posted on March 23, 2015 by MotoADVR

While not specifically covered in my review of the Triumph Speedmaster, the bike came with some pretty sweet options for an “entry level” motorcycle. I’m a big fan of the adjustable levers, 90 degree hard valve stems, and the bulletproof … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2015 by MotoADVR

The long awaited dry weekend finally arrived. With spring in the air (albeit a crisp 40 degrees) I donned my armored gear and helmet and headed out onto the road. With no place in particular to go, I stopped randomly … Continue reading →

Posted on March 14, 2015 by MotoADVR

After dumping another six inches of snow on us two weeks back, the big meltdown has finally begun. Sadly, my trusty steed stayed in the stable for most of last weekend as my driveway was a muddy bog for most … Continue reading →

Posted on February 11, 2015 by MotoADVR
