    Recommend me 300-500 km starting Durham

    I suspect we're all too late. In order to beat the heat OP should have left about an hour before they posted!

    CSBK at CTMP August 14-16

    Just a reminder for some just going the Saturday that in previous years you have had to pay for both the Saturday and Sunday on the way in, then when you leave Saturday night they give you the Sunday fee back. Stops 100s from saying they are just there for Saturday then staying overnight for...

    Recommend me 300-500 km starting Durham

    First 100 kms might be boring but he'd to Peterborough and take the 115/7 Peterborough bypass. When you get to the intersection of Landsdowne go straight through and continue on Television Rd. Just past the Petro Canada go right on 4 and stay left to stay on 4 (don't follow onto division) Not...

    Action Cameras

    Was looking at these. Your link goes to the OPS camera. Is it the same as the "biker cam"? I also can't tell if you can record with an external mic.

    buying a motorcycle at a show

    Was wondering if anyone here has ever bought a USED motorcycle at one of the winter bike shows, and which show is the best for those kind of purchases. I'm going to assume that a test ride is impossible? Is it too risky, or does the possible savings offset that risk? Would I be buying a bike...

    Do you pre book motels?

    This is me to a T. Every day of the trip I tell myself I am going to start looking for a camp site at 6:30 pm or so. Then I see a couple but tell myself "well there seems to be plenty around and I'm not tired so I'll keep going and another will turn up shortly" Almost without fail I don't see...

    2 Riders down at the forks

    **** is right. hopefully both are ok. Being nailed head on by another bike isn't something most of us think about, although on popular roads with plenty of curves I've seen riders in a pack often run wide.

    Sidi Crossfire vs. Alpinestars Tech 3 vs. Salomon Quest

    + what Wudzrydr said. I ended up with the Forma Adventure boot. I don't do any hard core off road, mostly fire roads and gravel and some two track but these are waterproof, sturdy, and all-day comfortable for riding and then for walking around in if I feel like stopping and exploring a bit...

    Shannonville this weekend- NEED Water bottles.

    While you are there have a look inside the tires that are in front of the marshal stations. Last time I was there they were FULL of old water bottles.

    Do you have a fuel efficient bike?

    I don't commute on mine so I'm sort of foolish in that I dont really track mileage that much. But just my opinion based on the amount of fuel stops is that my SV1000S is a bit of a pig on gas and my DR650 is a miser. Doesnt seem to matter how much I thrash either, I can count on filling up the...

    Handguards, BAR END mounted ones. Know of any?

    Acerbis makes several styles, one of which is a Bar End mount only. I think it's called the Dual Road. Pretty pricey though...

    Helmet Advice - Street vs Dual Sport

    Re: Crashed & Bit Through My Lip - Helmet Advice Please? You dont mention what kind of bike you ride and that would help narrow down your choice. I have a dual sport motorcycle and have a dual sport helment with the shield. Yes, there is a bigger chin space, but that means much more wind gets...
