Product Description

The Adventures of Blinky Bill received generally positive reviews. When we are little, our imaginations are endless, so I would ask my students some adventures they wish they could go on. Explore popular and recently added TV series available to stream now with Prime Video. What do you think of the beak? Open Preview See a Problem? One off-color joke that I noticed, probably wouldn't be noticed by "innocent" kids.

The newborn baby has no fur and weighs just a few ounces. In the past, off-road motorcycles, or dual-sport motorcycles that wanted to be taken seriously when the pavement ended, had big, high-mounted front mudguards. Those with low fenders were scoffed at by serious dirt riders, who loved warning us tenderfoots that mud would pack up that low front fender and lock up the front wheel. Even if it happened rarely, they loved warning us about it frequently. Doesn't the low mudguard do the job?

Still, for a modern adventure-touring bike, a beak seems obligatory. Interestingly, the forthcoming Honda Africa Twin is a serious adventure bike that does not have a beak. Will it start a reversal of the trend? The Triumph Tiger XCx has a modest beak, sort of like a chickadee's. Some beaks are brawny, some are more demure. The aftermarket stepped in, for riders who might be feeling insecure about their beaks, and offered beak extensions. Somewhere along the way, beaks became a nearly universal styling feature in the adventure world.

My "research" consisted of asking Common Tread adventure rider at-large Bill Dragoo, who has by far the most impressive adventure-riding resume among anyone who will return my calls. Bill says that based on the amount of crud he has to clean off the underside of his R GS's beak, he thinks it does have practical benefits.

Plus, he added, he likes the way it looks. As beaks became ubiquitous, jokes followed. Is your V-Strom doing an imitation of Woody Woodpecker or is it just happy to see you?

The BMW S XR does not have the off-road ambitions of its adventurous siblings, but it still has a vestigial beak, kind of like the way flightless kiwis the birds, not New Zealanders still have wings. Then, manufacturers started making sport-touring bikes that mimicked some of the style and the stature of adventure-touring bikes , but with thoroughly street-oriented hardware, starting with their inch sport-touring tires.

And this, I think, is the real question.
