    The Hurley and Highline roads - Jun 2020 conditions?

    No slide (as of yesterday), with the limited traffic, Highline is in great shape. Be warned - this is a rough road with blind corners, silty sand and loose rocks (on occasion), and steep drops off the side, that will end anyone that goes over them. While the road itself is not difficult, due to...

    The Hurley and Highline roads - Jun 2020 conditions?

    Hurley is surprisingly immaculate (for an FSR thats covered in ice half the year.) Blasted across it yesterday on the annual Hurley to Highline 500km epic loop. Highline is closed (gate across it), but bikes can get through, at least coming from the Seton Portage side...

    (Not that this will help Neil's cause ?, but ) Shinko 505's are awesome. Best all rounder, and decent lifespan.

    The very nature of motorcycling is self-isolating, so this is completely appropriate ;).

    Husqvarna 701; the cats meow, or just a 690 is wolf's clothing?

    It'll be another year until the KTM 790 arrives, so I'm wondering about people's experience with the Husky 701 as a "do it all bike". A typical "adventure" ride may include everything from a few hundred kms of tarmac, to (hundreds of kms of) gravel roads (FSRs), 2 track, and possibly even single...
