    Question for boaters?

    Regarding renewing your boats ownership every ten years I asked Transport Canada about this back in 2012 and got this reply “ Any vessel that is licenced before April 29, 2010 when these regulations came into force will not be required to update their information every ten years. However, if...

    Why to ALWAYS test ride a bike before buying it...

    That seems like a good way to deal with the issue of test rides. I’m planning on selling my old honda nighthawk and have been reading with interest the comments on allowing test riding when selling. I’m leaning towards “no” but now I think I will go with the “once you own it, you can take it for...

    Snow Blower Recommendations

    Good point by JZ67 … I have a 26 inch two stage Toro now 10 years old. I wish I had bought the model with the optional “power steering” controls to help turn it around after getting to the end of the driveway. It seemed like an unnecessary extra expense back then but now at age 65 it will be...

    Warm feet ...it's that time of year

    @MacDoc…. With the long rides you do you might want to consider the Thermacell foot warmers with the replaceable batteries instead of the ones you linked to so you have a spare set of batteries ready to go. Per the Thermacell website, they now have 3 models. The ones you were looking at and...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Try Gagnonsports in Oshawa. Gagnonshootingcentre dot com (not sure if I'm supposed to enter websites). It looks like they have 1 opening for the Restricted (handgun) course for this coming Sunday but the non restricted is full for this Saturdays course...

    Couldn't get a boost to save my life

    The GB40 battery booster uses a USB cable to recharge it, so either at home or you could use a USB power adapter with a cig lighter port. It looks to be a physically bigger device than the Antigravity Microstart booster that the OP mentioned he had forgot at his house but is 1000 Amp compared to...

    Couldn't get a boost to save my life

    I have the same Genius Boost GB40 battery booster as Motorcycle Mike ... actually have one in the saddle bags and one in the truck. I've boosted a HD Sportster and a Ford F150 with it... the F150 guys laughed at the small size of it when I walked over but were pretty happy when their truck...

    Garmin Nuvi GPS Hard wired via USB

    Conundrum ... thanks for the Info I have just assumed that a USB cable was a USB cable and wondered why my GPS kept thinking it was hooked to a computer instead of a motorcycle.

    Quit our jobs, sold our home and everything in it, gone riding...

    Congratulations on four years. You two have been an inspiration to me since I started riding 4 years ago….. I was nervous but if you could ride through Mexico city I could do “the shwa” etc. Safe travels.

    Ear plugs & Communication Devices

    I use ear plugs with a communicator and have no problem hearing. The ear plugs have a noise filter in them that allow in some sound. As for “what combo” I have, the communicator system my friend and I use is Cardo Systems Scala Rider Q3 and the ear plugs are Lee Parks Filtered S Plug. The sound...

    Running the Vehicle while using an Air Compressor

    The manual for my Slime portable Tire Inflator (mini electric air pump connected to the motorcycle battery) says "DO NOT run the vehicle while compressor is operating. Engine must be turned OFF". It seems to me that it would be better for the motorcycle to be running so the battery is getting...
