Anyone going tomorrow? Gotta have heated gear ready.

Cannot compete with the posted trips in this thread but, figured as the season has more days behind than ahead, I’d post a pick of a lunch time ride today. Plenty of bikes out and the parkway is always a pleasant and leisurely way to take in a ride and clear the mind from employer BS...

Is this what you ended up getting? Gorgeous! You’ll just have to remember not to wave at other riders and not use the indicators like a proper Beemer rider! 😝

@DJM the ergos of the Triumph Twins are quire nice as well as the feel of the controls. I think you’ll have a lot of fun on one compared to the V-Rod. And they look nice in the garage in the winter while day dreaming of getting out for a toot when the season is ready to ride!

CAA only covers breakdown services. Anything involving an accident, they will come out and bill your insurance. The tell you before dispatch.

I fuel the ice vehicle whereas the PHEV gets plugged and unplugged by my wife all the time. I think EVs are more practical charging at home and knowing the cost of charge over watching the price at the pump and being strategic at when to fill up to save a buck to two depending on reports of...

Favourite time of the year to ride. No pics to share but, the cool weather allows to gear up and the machine seems to run best with cooler temps. Get out there while you can. Typically the wind and rain strips the trees of its foliage and colours.

I’ve still got two young adult males returning from uni that drive our vehicles at times during the winter. We go with steel and appropriate wheel covers and it has saved us a couple of times just last winter. One rim replacement and the other was a minor scuff that would have broke an alloy...

Regarding tech features such as adaptive cruise and lean sensitive abs and the like, stuff like this becomes appealing once you experience it and becomes your norm. Then it’s not about how cool the features are as much as if it doesn’t have them, folks move on to a comparable ride that does.

I think they are adapting to the market as more buyers are attracted to adv style, upright seating, taller machines with longer suspension travel over the traditional sport touring machines. They already have the entry levels covered so, this will appeal for those looking for more sporting...

What is the energy source for the thrusters? Doubt they would be electric. Likely a fossil fuel. Is it cool? Heck ya! Does it advance the evolution of transportation? Not really. It’s a lot of flash without any practical use for public roads.

It does impact engagement if the site doesn’t load. Hoping it gets fixed.

I suppose tidy the garage is on my list! Excuse the mess. Anyways! New pipes installed and they are way too loud. I liked the idea of old school fish tails and could remove them if I didn’t like them. Not for everyone but, for a cruiser they fit the overall look. The sound however isn’t...

My FIL modded his to use a cordless drill with socket to raise and lower it. That guy can’t leave anything alone. Always needs to improve it, even when it’s fresh out of the box!

https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/1-100-lb-motorcycle-atv-lift/PA0008667818/8667818 Waiting for this to go on sale. No center stand on the new machine. Meanwhile, got a bunch of stuff to update the Triumph to make it my own. Stock pipes are off and removing the air injection system. On...
