    GPS vs Phone

    I'm going to try reusing my old phone as a head unit, hotspot for data, use the apps I like. I'm deep in the Garmin world so not sure how i will survive without.

    Are you Rotella or Motul?

    T6 for a long time in many bikes. I would grab it in bulk when in the states. T6 keeps the engines nice and clean. But as said above the motul did feel better in the shifts. $$ vs $$

    GPS vs Phone

    I like keeping the phone away. I also like planing my routes carefully because I mix in off road stuff, G maps would not work well for me. Zumo XT has a learning curve for planning but also does straight up nav if you want it too. Headsets work great, XT pairs well and display handles phone...

    OFTR trail riders - what do you ride?

    You need to get out and try some bikes, maybe after doing trailtours. A Honda 230F feels fun for about a day, 4 stroke engines can be easier to handle, 2 strokes way more fun to turn. Your journey will not be easy, but it will be an adventure. Started like you wanting a dual sport, we got a 450...

    Gaspe 2024

    Looking on the sat map I see lots of wind farms along the top of Gaspe. Anyone know if there is access, looking to mix up the coast with some climbs above and away from traffic and in the dirt. Anyone ventured onto the gravel?

    PickAxe Loop, top portion north Barry's Bay, clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?

    Thanks for the search link!! My assumption that something this small would not be indexed online has been correctted. I will search better next time. Skipped that section before due to hearing guys talk about spending 1 hour walking bikes. This year it won't be skipped :)

    PickAxe Loop, top portion north Barry's Bay, clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?

    Looking for a report.... Have not run the very top portion of the pickaxe loop. I understand it is a few Km's of a blown out snowmobile trail, Paugh Lake. Anyone have a say on which way to run it is better? clockwise or counter-clockwise? Thanks

    Upgrade Expired M2 to M

    Good luck, my wife was needing to complete her m2 by the fall a few years ago. She broke her leg biking and her season ended a little early. We talked to the Drive Centre and they said she could get a temp in the spring to do the test. Come spring nobody knew anything and her file was gone from...

    Was down there just before COVID with my wife on two bikes, last day in the area, last run eastbound and we pass an accident before the ambulance got there, dead rider alone with a blanket over him in the road, police and riders standing at the side. Wife was crying in the intercom. We took a...

    garmin zumo xt?

    Not sure the size of 5000 songs but you can put a big card in the XT, you just need to use an external program to format it in FAT32 first. Windows has a limit for formatting FAT32 but you can exceed it with these programs, Sandisk has one.
