I sold my bike last season to fund graduate school and I am selling all my gear now. Willing to bargain if you're buying a few things off me. Dainese perforated leather jacket size 56 EURO (fits like 46US) $260 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?requestSource=b&adId=1149484216 Dainese...

I had one on my last bike and one now on my VFR800. MRA's windshields are high quality, very thick unlike the paper thin zerogravity shield i was using before. The adjustability is really nice, if its windy/rainy/cold I can pop the shield up and deflect most of the wind, if its hot I can put...

Just put the bike away today....with all the rain these days its impossible to plan anything and its only getting colder. I was overdue for an oil change anyways so it wasn't too much extra work to throw in some stabilizer and pull the battery.

forks my ***! I can't stand this road, weekends, weekdays, doesn't matter...without fail I'm always stuck behind a dodge grand caravan driving with their brakes going 20 under the limit.

The wet performance really is something else isn't it? And I used to dread riding in the rain

how much extra time does that route take compared to shooting back through buffalo on the 219?

I chickened out and took the cage to Ottawa...I had to be in good shape when I came back today. Was cold and rainy on the way down saturday so I'm kind of glad I skipped that. This season has felt unusually short so I want to get one more weekend tour in if possible...

I have to head up to Ottawa this weekend and was planning to take the bike, but with all the rain I might take the cage. The rain is forecast to be more or less 10mm/day so it doesn't seem that bad, I could put on my waterproof textile onesie with my heated jacket so I'll just see how I feel...

I've spent way too much on gloves only to learn that there's no such thing as waterproof gloves...or at least they don't stay that way for long. I took apart my last pair of Racer gloves with a Hipora membrane and the membrane was basically just looked like a plastic bag melted into a subpar...

well considering how ontario schools are I didn't realize how big of an event they were, but believe me i know all about it now lol

The battery saver seems to work, when the bikes off the green battery saver light comes on after a little while so they shut down. The length of the grips was a bit weird and that's my only gripe, the throttle side is a perfect fit, but theres a 1/4" gap on the clutch side between the grip and...

I got a set of Oxfords, the ones redesigned for this year which were designated for "touring". The only difference from the previous generation it seems is that they've added a feature where it won't drain your battery if the bike is off. I honestly find these more comfortable that the Kuryakyn...

Pretty nice day in PA, started in Clearfield, went up Wykoff's run, then 120 east and then 44 north up to Olean, took the 219 back. The worst of it was getting back home what with the Gardiner closed. This is the first ride I've done this season where my wrists weren't in pain after. I used to...

I'll be sure to look out for the black wee while I'm out here! Got a go cruise knockoff, I dunno how I've been riding without it.

Congrats, that's a sweet ride. The Strom has always intrigued me...
