Looks like a lot of fun! Have they picked a location for next year?

The track is always the best place for comparing member sizes. Know a fella on a Honda Magna cruiser shaming others on the 600SS machines. Sure it’s modified for the track but, it’s a sight to see. To each their own and whatever floats your boat.

Funny enough, I was watching his honest review of a Bonneville and watched a few more of his vids including this one. Quite enjoyable to watch and a few laughs. A Euro Ryan F9.

Yes. One owner bike with 37k on the clock and well maintained with plenty of documentation and a few extras, wind screens, clutch cable, saddlebags etc. located DT TO and purchased by this out of towner. I low balled him. Ok, we came to an agreement on price below asking. 😉 There is a...

Let’s just say I’m moving on and letting it disappear in the rear view. Thus my apprehension to even post about it. For my next trick, I’ve gone back to the classic look and ride of yesteryear. It will look good in the garage with its 4 wheel sister of the same name even if it’s not the...

Test ride after mounting new tires.

Yes. And the first incident like it ever in their 35 years of business.

Overall, my posts are too long and wordy and the whole experience was a dogs breakfast. The shop is reputable and the incident was regrettable to everyone involved. Let’s just say the bike was in top condition and the cost to put it back would exceed the value of the bike itself. It was a...

My journey of BMWs came to an unexpected halt. Decided to sell one and get the other one some fresh rubber. Well one sold and the other got dumped by the shop. After that, I didn’t want to ride it and kicked it to the curb. What now? Found my next steed in Toronto and will take...

The PHEV Escape doesn’t have DC fast charging so it’s limited to J1772 plugs. I’ve found some free charging for a couple of my work trips and topped up. There is something to be said about electric motion of a vehicle that just seems calmer. It’s simply quiet and smooth. Driving back from...

Triumph does entry machines, adv, cruiser, street etc. They keep a relatively happy dealership network and they drop models that don’t sell and introduce new ones. You can still get a Bonnie and tee-shirt to retro image yourself or get modern leathers and ride a street triple. They have...

I’m all for more model offerings than less. Even if they don’t strike an interest from me. I will say the RE Bear twin is more appealing from a “scrambler” look that is intended for the street. Thumpers can be fun but, it just doesn’t seem to look or do anything well. For example...

I think the legacy positions of the board are the real issue from a business strategy stand point. CEOs still answer to another master and that is why one position being filled won’t make a difference. You look at successful brands in motor sports and they have diversity in their product...

I have nothing but admiration and respect for those who organize or lead a ride.

Hope they catch this pucker. A side note, I typically check their Facebook profile. New profile with nondescript profile pic, I simply block or ignore. Really sorry to hear this happen.
