The one non-straight road I can recall is road 36 (riverview line) going west out of chatham. But seriously, take the car.

If it doesn't come with saddlebags, Motorcycle Luggage & Bags Experts - Vikingbags makes them for many cruisers.

A Suzuki Boulevard? Lots on the used market and they're cheap. The c50 is 800cc but it only has 56hp. The C90 and M90 would be better options, they're cheap too. Then there's the M109 but I heard those handle like crap.

I'd guess a lot less than 400. I had a 2019 790 Adventure, it had a 20L tank and would do 450 kms. Got 60 mpg. Not sure how much more fuel hungry the 890 engine is, probably a little.

Tire still not in, can't join :( but I'm sure you'll have a great ride, the roads up there are always fun

I'm up for it but my rear tire is done and I just ordered a new one, not sure if it'll arrive before Monday.

I only looked at the metzeler one and the instructions said to print and mail, but if there's an online way to do it then that's great.

I've now done about 700 kms since I put in liquimoly 10w40 full synthetic, and it seems fine so far. Bike shifts identically to how it always has. Whatever issue the other guy had, it's probably unique to his bike.

Too much effort. First you have to print out their rebate form (who still even has a printer in 2023?) then you have to fill it out, buy an envelope to put it in, put a stamp on it (I don't even remember how to buy a stamp) then mail it. Way too much work for $40.

I also just bought liqui moly, was gonna do my oil change this weekend. What's wrong with it?

That's just your own speculation, based on your already biased assumptions. Do you have any sources to prove any of those claims?

The stats show older people have the most motorcycle fatalities. It surprised me too but those are the facts. The idea that it's young inexperienced hooligans doing most of the crashing is just a myth.

23 degrees this thurs :) too bad I have to work, but they're showing 20 and sunny for saturday, that may be my first long ride of the year. Now where to go? maybe up to haliburton or bancroft.

Not only that, but the same bike can have vastly different service intervals in different countries. My service manual recommends an oil change every 6000 kms, but people from Europe with the same bike (same make/model/year) say their manual says every 12,000 kms. Anyone know why this is?

I guess it's fixed then. Why don't you come down through quebec on the 101? It's a nicer ride than the 144 or the 11.

What size of a group are you expecting? I am planning to ride the gaspe pensinsula this summer but haven't picked a time yet.

When did you last do this run? I did it 2 or 3 summers ago and there is a washout around the midway point on that road. I doubt it's fixed yet.

What a crummy start to the season. I'm looking at the 14 day forecast and the highs never get above single digits. Most years I will have taken the bike out at least once in March. :(
