In reply to Oscar. This was a single-tire test hosted by Bridgestone. Other tires were not available for testing. You start seeing brand-to-brand comparisons in the coming months.

While I appreciate the review, and it’s good to know the S23’s are as good as or superior to the S22’s, what I’d really like to know is how they compare to the competition. How well do the S23’s perform relative to other brands’ equivalent tires? Brand beginning with M, the brand beginning with D, the brand beginning with P… etc. Do the S23’s last longer or wear quicker? Are the S23’s stickier or less sticky than the others? Do the S23’s offer easier or harder turn-in on cornering? Are the S23’s better in the wet vs the others, or worse, or about the same?

In reply to Thomas Taber. Thomas, in the article Steve mentions he had to skip California, Oregon, and Washington due to time constraints because of his unplanned surgery during the beginning of the tour. As he mentions in the story, unexpected things happen and he always has a Plan B. The map shows his route through the northeast corner of Pennsylvania, which is where part of PA Route 6 (U.S. Route 6) is located (it runs across the entire northern [art of Pennsylvania, from border to border).

Hi, interesting read but the map indicates california, oregon, and washington which you did not ride and doesn’t indicate Pennsylvania 6, which on the byways list one assumes you did ride. Anyway, I’m hoping to copy this ride although not for charity, and will probably do it in 3 separate journeys.
How many tire and oil changes on the trip?

My husband had PD-5 programme about 4 months ago. Tremors in his hands and jaw are gone. It doesn’t make the Parkinson’s go away but it did give him better quality of life.

Comment on BMW Motorrad Unveils Automated Shift Assistant by KPM

Guys, easy now……. the automatic shift assist may not be for you, or me. Just buy the bike with the regular clutch and shifter. There are plenty of people who this option will appeal to and even some that it will make a difference between riding and not riding due to health or movement or pain issues with their left hand or foot. This provides an another option for those that want or need it; it does not force anything on you or me. 🙂

In reply to Gregory Textor. I had a 76 bran new. Had it for 30 years no carb. issues. Perhaps you have a rusting gas tank issue.
