    How would a 50% tariff work on a new H-D?...fun with numbers...

    Glenn, Do you need a 27 or would a new 26 be ok? I can’t tell the difference between the years but, some HD enthusiast know each minor change. Clare’s has 4 PanAms and a low rider ST on the showroom right now. Pricing isn’t displayed on their website...

    Scout trip is a great alternative. Mark those POIs you’d want to venture off with a different machine next time.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    It’s been a head scratcher why they merged with Renault back in 99 and chased fuel economy with cheap CVTs. Those mid nineties Maxima with V6 and manual transmission were a hoot and downright dependable. Ahhh the good old days! Friend has a new Z and it’s a nice machine.

    Last minute solo motocamping

    Personally, I’d never venture out on such a long journey on a bike I haven’t put through its paces ahead of time. Even brand new bikes have their issues to sort out with a day trip. But, I’m older and cautious now. If I was younger, my ambition would overcome any adversity someone put in...

    Where to get a puppy?

    It’s like anything else, when used correctly they are very effective. However, some owners are lazy and just yank on the leash and cause the animal harm. Use it effectively and the obedience results are great and can revert to a non-prong collar over time. We have a boxer and they are high...

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

    Zip ties and wire have been a god send to keep something out of the way after a tip over etc. you can always remove the broke thing and carry on I suppose. I’m thinking like a signal light or something else that has rattled itself lose and can’t repair it road side. I’ve had to secure a head...

    This is how we get ours tired out. Sleeps well and gives us peace for the evening. 😉

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Part of the appeal of EV is the acceleration and I’m sure it continues with ownership. My wife’s friend shows off how quick her Mustang is and pretty sure she drives that way without “showing off”. Will that takes a toll on tires? I’d say so. I think since the beginning of this thread until...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That is the one deterrent of a Tesla is the service/maintenance/repair. If something happens and need a fix, you really have no place to go other than Tesla authorized facilities.

    Getting bike from Algonquin area to TO - Best Option

    I have an aluminum ramp from princess auto that was pretty cheap. I checked with budget and enterprise van rentals with unlimited mileage and brought back a kawi zephyr 550 some time ago. It was reasonable cheap. I happen to have a vehicle with a hitch and can rent a motorcycle trailer from...

    What's your reason

    Where this is a will, there is a way. I found with kids, they want to spend time with me no matter what we are doing and that includes motorcycles. Changing the oil, looking things over, noting what is needed for the next service etc. Kids can be inquisitive and enjoy being involved...

    What's your reason

    Took an extended lunch break today. The parkway was clear of traffic, I rode semi squid (half helmet and tee shirt) Soothed the soul and returned to work in a great state of mind.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Even with a PHEV and review of my petro fill ups versus monthly electric cost on a 120 vac circuit, it does very well. And we can run about the area primarily on battery most of the time. Wife loves regen and the idea of getting energy back while slowing down. It’s free in her mind and there...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    If my FIL installs a 240 vac outlet he intends for his welding stuff at the side of the house, it’s pretty much a no brainer. Once he does that, I’m taking him shopping for a Tesla. He could end up with something else but, I’m pushing for FSD and willing to pay the monthly sub for him...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Most charging apps will advise how many charge stations are at the spot, how many are in use and how many are available etc. And I’ve found the enroute stops along the 400 series are zoos at the pumps and even for food. Sometimes you can get off the highway for fuel and food at a different...

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Market place is your friend here. Plenty of used units of high quality, low hours and well cared for. Get word out in your neighborhood you’re in the market and might even have someone offer up the one they have sitting in the garage. It’s been sitting unused because they went with a...

    Soon to be Harley owner?

    It’s right up my ally looks wise. I love the look of retro standard bikes like Kawi’s 900RS and Honda’s CB 1000 Hornet SP or even Yamaha’s XSR etc. Loved my HD Sportsters and Buell tubers. However, if it ever makes it into production and resembles what the concept is, no doubt it’s price...
