    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Currently looking into PHEV hybrid SUV. Wife doesn’t like low belt line of a car so, it will likely be SUV. Toyota pricing and availability makes it a low contender even considering high resell and reliability reputation. Ford has 0% financing promo and looking into the Outlander. Not...

    What is your Budget for a Bargain Find?

    Took The Red Barron out for a scoot along the parkway before taking a European Vacation. Really enjoy smooth, quiet and powerful. Handles great when in motion. Maneuvers around the garage and parking lot takes some patience and planning. Looking forward to putting longer rides in this...

    Westport Loop second attempt

    I was thinking for those out of towers from the GTA or myself (Niagara) that make the trip. 😉 Even the locals don’t mind a stop in for a cold one and some music at The Cove. Food is pretty good too!

    Worth it to move up in cc?

    That is the typical rational and it’s valid. Really enjoyed my Ninja 500. Dated looks but, good all rounder.

    Westport Loop second attempt

    Have family in Westport and it’s a great place to hang. Always in the cage when we go and always tell myself I need to ride up there. Truth be told, the family likes to party and my liver takes a beating so, if I go on the bike, I have to make sure they left town before I arrive. The roads...

    Worth it to move up in cc?

    Many of us are searching for the perfect bike. The all rounder that is easy to move around the garage, jump on anytime and go any where. Those smaller bikes are perfect for 95% of that. If you need to get across the GTA or travel somewhere, a cage is probably better suited to wear the...

    To be avoided at all cost

    GWS MacDoc! Glad you got the medical support to catch it and get you back on the mend.

    Worth it to move up in cc?

    Wonder if there are any developments from August of last year until now? Still riding the 300 or moved to the SV?

    Did you exercise today?

    Found working on my cardio helps with strength training and recovery. Also, lots of post work out stretching/yoga. And definitely avoid taking on too much weight to power through. Start light and when my reps are easy for 12/14 reps, I move up another 10 lbs. avoid jumping up 20 or more...

    This weather

    Meh! It’s a sign of getting older! We complain about the cold and rain. Next month there will be chirping it’s too hot and seeing too many squids! I can gear up for cold and (some rain). Riding in an oven with or without gear isn’t fun at all.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I gotta say the up front cost of any new car (ice or ev) is discouraging. And used ev can also be either high cost or battery degradation concerns. They maybe unfounded but, still lingers when considering something different from the usual. Our auto repair shop that handles our oil changes...

    Older riders or a question for the collective...

    Agreed! A sharp insurance adjuster can deny a claim very easy. And most times folks get away with it until something happens and test the logic and rational.
