    Thunder Bay In September Ride

    Thanks guys! Yeah we’re not fancy but our backs are old enough that we don’t camp much anymore. I visited there years ago and saw the memorial and the falls but I’ve never ridden there (or ridden north of North Bay for that matter).

    Anyone into gardening here?

    I know next to zero about gardening. How far back should I prune it? They were about 2.5’ tall in the Fall, rabbits ate them back to about 1’ but they all came back bigger than ever this Spring and all are doing great except for this one that looked great up until a couple weeks ago.

    Thunder Bay In September Ride

    Riding buddy wants to do a ride to Thunder Bay in September. How’s the weather/road conditions around that time and is there a preferable route and place to stay along the way? Would be leaving from the Haliburton area. Two days up and two days back.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    Somehow killed one of our burning bush plants. All leaves went limp so I figured water (even though the rest around it were fine). Water didn't help. Dug around it to make sure it wasn't water logged but it was fine. Got worse after I dug up around it so I trimmed what looked dead off it. Have...

    Soccer/football thread 2022

    I'll lead with the fact that I'm not a soccer fan but I have been watching some of the games. I wanted the Swiss to win but I was also pleased to see that flop being called.

    Canadian Canoe Museum

    I've always heard of the canoe museum but had no idea until I rode by it a couple weeks ago for the first time what an attraction it is. That's a darn nice building.

    2026 Rides

    Could always take a more leisurely route through the US. Really nice roads and a much nicer ride. We have a house right around the corner from Port Hood, lovely area. Had many a good time at the Red Shoe.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Probably selling my John Deere E180 rider soon as I'm shopping for a zero-turn if interested ;)

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I agree that building one yourself is the way to go over a prefab thingy.

    Asphalt is not your friend today

    I have this one for my 1290SAR. I also bought similar one's on Aliexpress for both my S1000XR and Ducati Multistrada. Locktite the screws and never had an issue. Each was about $10 to my door...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I did a playhouse on eight 4x4 PT posts on top of stone 3-4' down 3 years ago and it hasn't moved at all. Posts still look new but soil is pretty much pure sand so it doesn't hold moisture. Mine only needs to last about 10years but should suffice for a bbq cover.

    Portable Tire Inflators

    Got a chance to try it out and it’s seriously impressive. Boosting my v-twin lawn tractor with a flat battery (completely dead cell battery that requires replacement) I’ve never seen that mower turn over so fast. Used the compressor attachment in my dirtbikes air forks as my usually hand pump...

    Portable Tire Inflators

    Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up ordering this Wolfbox 4000a boost/compresser: https://ca.wolfbox.com/products/jump-starter-with-air-compressor-tire-inflator-wolfbox-megavolt-24air 4000a should be overkill for anything I require but having the extra juice and larger battery is nice. They...

    Tool Deals Thread

    I have the Genius5 one and it's great that the $75 charger can take care of regular LA, AGM, and Lithium batts, all of which we have on site. It wouldn't repair the LA that suddenly went flat in my lawn tractor but neither would my Ctek.

    Wear all day riding pants

    I have a pair of Joe Rocket kevlar lined jeans with removable knee pads I've only worn once I'd sell if you're interested. Got them to replace my first identical pair that lasted 10yrs and around 150,00km's. I'm switching to a more ADV type pant. All-day comfortable and look like regular jeans...

    Demo Days at GP

    No, I get "the look" when I use the good household vacuum in the garage.

    Demo Days at GP

    I wore out the oem rear AX41 tire on my 1290SAR in 2000km. I switch to Rally mode with no TC when I leave the pavement but I have to run the bike in Sport mode (TC on but near minimum) on pavement otherwise the rear knobby leaves part of itself behind without me even knowing it.

    Window shopping again

    Yes it can do all those things but "relative comfort" will vary depending on your definition. It's a wider dirtbike seat afterall.

    Right peg, left peg?

    My buddy rides a mid-sized Adv and always uses the left peg to get on due to a previous MC collision limiting leg/hip movement. He does the same with his dirtbike. The guy should be operating a Miata instead but he's stubburn.
