Zen Rail Stock Discovered! Friday, May 30. 2008 They are one of the greatest sport touring accessories ever made that you can no longer buy - until now. The guy who built all the zen-rails has a stack of old stock that he wants to get rid of and he's offering it through us. If you are not familiar with these guys, they bolt behind the passenger pegs and create a resting place for soft luggage the prevents anything from coming into contact with your precious paint or delicate plastic bodywork.

Posted by Dave in Site Updates at 05:04 | Comments (0) Alaska By Motorcycle - Now in Two Versions Thursday, May 29. 2008 It's taken us almost six months to compile everything from our two-week adventure to Alaska into our newest trip report. Brace yourself, this one is absolutely epic! The full version is quite long (but has all the glorious details including interactive maps, lots of route details, history of the areas we visited and much more). But realizing it is quite long, we are trying something new and are offering two versions of the tale. The full version, think of it as the "Directors Cut" and the new "Short-Attention-Span" version with less words and more pictures. Feel free to drop us a line and let us know which you prefer. Posted by Dave at 06:00 | Comments (0) New Interactive Treasure Maps Saturday, March 8. 2008 Its been nothing more than a pipe dream since the very beginning of CanyonChasers, but the additional workload required from making maps was too much for our riding-obsessive-personalities, so for the longest time the Treasure Map section sat mostly dormant. But now, we are thrilled to announce the all new CanyonChasers Treasure Map section with a newly implemented road rating system that rates roads on how technical they are and the condition of the road itself. Visitors to the site, such as you, can then rate the road from one to five stars based on your own experience riding that same route! Is that nifty-cool-neato or what? Right now we have mostly posted roads nearest to us, but expect the section to grow as we continue to rate more roads.

No-Mar Motorcycle Tire Changer - Review Wednesday, June 25. 2008 If you've become frustrated with the challenges surrounding getting tires changed on your motorcycle, or grown tired of paying lots of money to have your rims scratched up by the kid working the tire machine in the back of your local dealership, then listen up! We've been hearing about these guys for a while now and have finally gotten the opportunity to sample the Classic No-Mar Motorcycle Tire Changer. As the name implies, this tire changer promises to leave your rims unscathed. Using hi-tech plastics and some inspired designs this is one of the greatest moto-specific tools we've seen in a very long time.

Ladies Cortech LNX Leather Jacket Wednesday, June 18. 2008 We've recently finished reviewing another ladies specific bit of riding gear, this one from Tourmaster Cortech, and we must reveal that this one really impressed us! Not only does this jacket look very feminine without the "pink" factor (although it is available in three other colors - one of which is pink), it features lots of protective features as it should, as well as some very nice comfort and aesthetic features. It has perforations along the arms for cool weather, but also comes with a very robust full-sleeve liner making the jacket usable when its not summer. Read all the details and our thoughts in the Reviews Section of this site.

This time we try out the Trail Tech Vapor Gauge Cluster which does a whole lot more than just measure engine speed, in fact, it does more than the OEM gauge that came on the bike from Suzuki, including dual-stage shift lights, hours meters, top speed and lots more cool stuff. See how we installed the product and how it works. So far this has been a fantastic solution to the speedometer problem many riders of "customized" bikes face.

Since Canyon Chasers came online in 2001 we have been recognized for our motorcycle sport touring efforts in Rider Magazine (June 2002) and featured on the Nationally Syndicated Radio Program Out and About (July 2003) and a Google Page Importance rating of 4 (out of 10) which is pretty good for a motorcycle sport touring website! So we welcome you to wander around, enjoy what we have to offer and if you have any question, please feel free to ask.
