Macdoc, just wondering where you got your sidecases from? Those are really nice and suit the bike well.

Thanks for the suggestion Cranky Pete, looking at the website for Baldwin. I really like the options for coverings and the 3 different builds. The Day-long and the Baldwin Grand Touring look the most comfortable, but the weirdest. I guess it doesn't really matter how it looks when I'm cruising...

Thanks for the suggestions. With the stock seat height I am ok. With one foot down no problem, but if I put both feet down I am on the balls of my feet. I may give the bead rider a shot and look for a used seat. For the windscreen, I am already using the madstad and the shorty screen. I have...

Looking for recommendations for a new seat for my bike, 1st gen DL1000. I find that after 2 hours I am sore on my backside, and uncomfortable. I find that the stock seat "locks" me in, and have no room to move forwards or back on the seat. I know seats are more of a personal opinion, and may...

Couple of things, are you sure your AC is 5 tons? For a 1600 sq.ft home, a 2 ton (24 000btuh) would be adequate. As for the furnace, look for brands like Lennox, Carrier, York, Keeprite and Daikin. Those are the top in my opinion. However, the quality of the installation is key. Your venting...

I am looking at doing a 3 day trip there myself at the end of August, I have bookmarked your route. Look forward to your impression of it...

I just recently got a Vstrom 1000, shopped around for most of the spring. Most of the the 650's that I was keeping an eye on, are still for sale for around $5700-$6300, with some upgrades. Not sure if they're just asking too much or if there's not a lot of demand for them. The bikes that sold...

One other thing I would like to suggest is the Racer 5 beginner course. You use their bikes, and will gain a good foundation to build on. It helped me find confidence in leaning the bike over, and carrying corner speed.

Strongly recommend taking the TMP Intro to track course. http://www.torontomotorsportspark.com/raceway/track_school_intro.html

Currently looking for new jacket and pants. Looking for opinions on best bang for the buck sport-touring outfit. I picked up some Oxford textile gear, but not 100% convinced on the durability, the armour is a little skimpy with no adjustment, and no reviews either. I can take that gear back for...

Has anyone seen this gear or have experience with it? Royal Distributing has carried it the last couple of years. I can't find any info or reviews. I went to Royal last weekend to try on the Alpinestars Bogota jacket, large was too tight, and the XL was too big, armor too loose and jacket pushed...

When I was in Cuba, I bought a box of Partagas Series D #4, smoked all but 2. Bought a box here in Canada, and they are not as good as the ones from Cuba. Maybe age has something to do with it. I would be in for this ride.

I wish I wasn't on call for work, or I'd go one of the days. Looks like I'll be shooting for the June 6th date.

Looking for a Vstrom, preferably under 20,000K. ABS, luggage and other accessories would be an asset. Just wondering what's out there...
