    Vendee Globe and other sailing around the world

    Good flick some very emotional scenes …1998 race was unreal……100 MPH! winds for the boats and 90’ waves….. Most of the video tho is covering off the Comanche …incredible 100 foot ocean sailer …I’ve watched the start of the Hobart a few times and Comanche is always there right in the hunt.

    Shame it was nominated for 11 Oscars, only won two…up against LoTR was tough luck. The studio was hoping to do all 20 novels but the sequel got cancelled. Have you read the O’Brien 20 book series?? If not do it. He is the best history writer ever …I found myself dreaming in Napoleonic English...

    Last minute solo motocamping

    CB500x will do the distance with cheap fuel cost but lousy luggage capacity, Vstrom 650 certainly best of the choices....usually cheap, often well equipped, bullet proof . long range per tank.....no fun off pavement unless you are tall and even then not much clearance. Anything smaller than...

    I'm Going Toronto-Washington DC Bike Trip, What's Your Advice?

    You are an idiot if you ride ANY hours at dusk or dawn let alone night in NY state. Even coming up on the four lane to Buffalo I had a deer galloping along the grass slopes 5 min from the border in late afternoon. I've never worried about riding the QEW late ...not seen a deer on there after...

    Better bird...eagle flies Warmer tonight and rain has eased off. Dogs got a late pee stop and are back in bed at 2am New headphones excellent for the TV ...$50 well spent on a used solution. If you need a lower cost option these are recommended. In some respects they are slightly more...

    Need suggestion for ON/QC Destination for a 4-6 day basecamp with day rides.

    It' s fabulous at speed with no traffic. My kid blitzed it with a big grin on his face....I was bit more sedate but loved the smooth sweepers, elevation changes and top notch pavement. There have a been a few winters since tho so who knows what pavement is like. With traffic tho....boring with...

    Can't afford Apple TV ....would love to see that. :( .... I had trouble getting into Peaky Blinders way back when but perhaps worth it to keep going...Cililan Murphy is magnetic and big story arc is very rewarding.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    The total weight limit is the same on both models which means less luggage capacity on the 1000. That said I don't think Mimico is intending extensive touring and a stripped down 1000 would be a thrill at the throttle. If you go for it tho get this or similar...
