    Turning left at intersections

    Crazy. Only thing I can think of is they are clueless to the rules and they cut the corner tighter. If it was me I would position my self still ahead of the white line but not as far out and a little more centre of the "lane".

    Touring and Camping

    Tent, sleeping bag & thermarest are packed in a dry bag just in case for the next month. Planning on one or two nights at least in the tent.

    1st gen KLR 650 feedback

    As a former KLR owner (2008) I would say go for it if you find the right one. They are the jack of all trades, master of none. I sold mine @ 92K km (bought at 4000km), traveled half way across the country, plenty of pavement, lots of gravel roads, some off road two track and even got myself...

    2026 Rates

    Renewal rate was a touch lower than last year (about $8/month), adding back some of the now optional coverage upped it $6/month. My insurance company didn't auto remove all the now optional coverages just some of them, it was explained to me only new policies post July 1 would have all of them...

    2026 Rates

    Check your renewals and new policies from July 1 2026 onwards some coverage that was included isn't anymore. My car renewals came in and I had to call to re-add come coverage to my policy. My bike policy doesn't renew till Nov so I'll be calling again in October I'm sure...

    Pay Day Loans

    I always paid off the Leons & Future Shop cards a couple of months before the year was up, thankfully my parents taught me to pay attention to the fine print somewhat, the cost of borrowing gets missed by many and I wouldn't call myself fully financially literate either. The biggest shocker I...

    Covering a bike in permit parking areas?

    I have the same thoughts, cover shows worth or cover slows potential theft if they don't know what's there plus dry seat.

    Did you exercise today?

    Did personal best snatch at 155lbs this past week. My Oly lift class has reset and we're back down to working at 75% of our max. Onwards & upwards. Not bad for 49 and doing zero exercise till 11yrs ago with a currently not so good diet.

    Moto Social events

    I was at the Hamilton one from about 7-8 as well. Had a burger and beer with my wife & the dog (they drove) chatted a bit, grabbed an 8 pack and hit the road. Thankfully I had room to back out of my parking spot due to some willy nilly parking by a couple of bikes in front of me. Chilly ride...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I've owned nothing but manual since I bought my first vehicle. It's a little sad my options are so limited now for new cars but I'll just have to roll with it i guess, see the silver lining in the less hassle with commuting. Heck my last two European rentals (Corolla hatchback & Peugeot 308...

    Hotel / motel in / AirB&B near Grand Bend for Racer5 track days

    Fun fact about the Ranch House Inn, it used to be a "mall" of sorts, an enclosed walk though building with stores. In 1993 a terrible high school movie about a demon moose named Pan was partially shot in the main entrance unfortunately no copies remain in existence. :ROFLMAO:

    Restaurants

    I used to agree with this and maybe it was because I ate at a restaurant (Pearl Morrisette) before and after it had a star but it can be worth it.
