Live updates as it all goes CMG ... !

]]> Given that we lost Editor ‘Arris five years ago today, we’d be remiss if we didn’t use the opportunity to share a legendary tale from the past for this installment of Flashback Friday. The year was 2012. CSBK was running a media challenge where us lowly scribes were given the chance to battle it out on a fleet of Honda CBR250Rs. Costa had been running the table at each event but wasn’t able to…

There's a good explanation, honest.

]]> Going back through the archives for Flashback Friday, I came across this unique feature from 2015 where the late Editor ‘Arris explains how he not only contributed to a competing publication, but ended up on the cover no less! We sure miss him and his off-the-wall sense of humour. We also miss travelling to warm, exotic locales for media launch events where we get to test brand new…

]]> Tech guru Gary Comer was in Moncton recently as part of Kawasaki’s mobile mechanic training program and knowing CMG is just down the road, he invited me to come and take a look. So I cleared my afternoon schedule and hoofed it up to the tech college where Gary was holding court in front of a dozen Maritime technicians. This year, Kawasaki’s training course involved a close look inside the H2R…

Editor 'Arris heads south to ride a few Triumphs and revisit the event after a 20 year hiatus.

]]> Photos by Rob Harris unless otherwise specified DAYTONA BEACH—I’m no stranger to Daytona. I still remember the first year I came down here nearly 20 years ago, driving in a Honda Odyssey minivan with several other journalists in a 24-hour non-stop dash for the sun. As a recent immigrant from the U.K., just to see the transition from deep winter to melting spring, and then the palm…

Here's what he found.

]]> Okay, okay, so it’s taken me a while to get the test done on this suit. The upside of this is that I managed to get a goodly amount of time in it and I can say in all honesty, with hand on heart, that I love it. There’s a lot of adventure orientated riding suits out there and the price can get rather high, but of all the gear I’ve tested in the past, the only suit that ever really fit me — as in…

Editor 'Arris packs his Speedo, bucket and spade and heads for the Mediterranean.

]]> Alicante, Spain – Suzuki is launching its new GSX-S1000 at a world launch, meaning all the world’s press is in attendance. CMG’s Editor ‘Arris flew over to check it out. What’s new? This is the technical intro for the bike. If you wish to avoid confusing your head with blurbage that may not mean much to you, please feel free to skip ahead to the Ride. Technically the whole bike is new…

]]> The penultimate update – the electric bikes available in Canada! Not a lot but we have the Sora Lito and the Zero range. Quebec’s Sora takes the title for most expensive electric bike, and also takes it for the most expensive road-legal bike at $48,500 – only edged out by MV Agusta’s F4RC at $54,995. The Zero’s are a little more realistically priced , starting at just over $11K and offer a lot…

Editor 'Arris headed to Alabama to try it out.

]]> Photos by Yamaha Motors and Matt Filion unless otherwise by specified While down in Alabama for Yamaha Motors Canada launch last week, we brought you the world’s first ride of the new R3. But that wasn’t the only bike that came out of the Yamaha trailer that week. The R1, R1M, T-Max and FJ-09 were also available and Editor ‘Arris and Costa Mouzouris did their best to try them all.
