    Asphalt is not your friend today

    I was going to ask about those scratches on the front of your helmet, but now I know the answer. nm... 😁

    GP Bikes: A Masterclass in Operational Incompetence and Mechanical Neglect

    I've been eyeing this product, NOS. Regular price $1000, but they couldn't sell it. It's been $870 for over a year (or more) now. I check for the Canada Day No Tax Sale, thinking today is the day to finally pick it up... Almost 25% off list price! They jacked it up to $1000. :rolleyes...

    Mexico's Batman taping up motorcycle thieves

    Trying to figure out the logistics of taping two adult men to a lamp post... So they just stand against the post and allowed themselves to be taped? Are they being held at gunpoint so they don't struggle or run? By who? The guy taping them? Are they knocked out? Unconscious? How do you hold...

    DOT sticker?

    Is there a tag sewn to the chin strap? If you can't find any safety designations, just do what the cruiser guys do for their brain buckets and order one of these: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/285545563256

    Whats up with toronto motorcycle police?

    Well, to be fair, every dealer adds freight + PDI. Base price for a 2026 Goldwing is $29,299 Freight + PDI is $1,376 ($1,432 if financed) Will take it up to $30,731 before taxes.

    2026 Rides

    Had a 395. That platform was so underpowered. Screen redraws and refreshes took FOREVER, especially when the maps got more complex and packed with more information. Also, budget components like the crappy, dimly-lit display and mono, AM-quality MP3 player... :rolleyes: They were really pushing...

    Anyone using Google Maps to plan a ride

    I use Google Maps to plan my route. I like scenic routes and the ability to StreetView spots along the way is helpful. Also the integration with user-based reviews of hotels and restaurants helps with selection. Integration with traffic is also good to route around road closures as they seem to...

    Need suggestions for a high-end laptop

    Not just laptops, but GPS units too. Been looking at the new Android-based Nor7e from DMD, and they are eye-wateringly expensive. OVER $1000 *more* than a similar Garmin. Developer says it's because of the price of memory. :(

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    Agree. The V-Rod has a mid-mount kit for most of their later model-year runs, which I would definitely put on. Or go for the Street Rod with mid-mount, higher clearance pegs.

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    The demo bikes are insured. If they get messed up, the insurance company will cover the repairs. But yes, they will probably write off the insurance premiums and any deductibles they have to pay in the event of an accident. Was recently in a situation where the dealership messed up a repair...

    Ride Report - 2026 Scenic Butt

    Awesome! Great writeup and I'd love to join you on one of those 1600 km rides. Maybe if we cut it down to 800 kms though. And start around 10am... And if you throw in a few gravel roads too, that'd be great. Thanks!!!

    Wear all day riding pants

    You could try to claim it was A Crap Of Vic's, but he'll deny he dealt it, since you're the one who smelt it...
