The Outlander was on our list along with the Koreans. Look into how their hybrid system works and the dealer experience. Hyundai typically stocked high end models with middle trims for order only and discourage you from ordering due to the small difference is cost and availability of the high...

318 with a 2 barrel! Cut the muffler out and replace with a glass pack thrush! Sweet ride! 🤣 Ops! I got the wrong car! The dreaded K car 2.2 L Yikes!

Just like anything, there are tends and fads. Everyone wants adv style machines and the dream of travelling the world. Dressing up as a pirate and bar hopping has aged out like a Diamond Dave concert. Widows clearing out the garage their husband’s machine they left behind and many are well...

It’s been the equivalent of a smartphone since I could walk. I’ve been obsessed. Evel Knievel jumping Caesar’s Palace on NBC’s wide world of sports event that everyone glued their eyes to the tv for. Talked about it at school or on the street corner. Re-enacting it with our banana seat...

Plug in hybrid isn’t a bad option. We do quite a bit of running around on battery alone and reverts to hybrid when doing longer drives.

JFK Library and a pint at the Cheers bar. Downtown is actually a nice area to walk and shop and eat/drink. Fenway is worth the tour. There are some nice places to eat and have a beer there too. House of Blues was enjoyable.

If they received a diploma from a school, I’d inquire if they have an alumni to check in with. Not all are created equal but, it’s worth a shot and check in and see. Graduated x year, have x hours and been doing carpentry for x long and want to leverage the education for what is was intended...

Friend’s Amazon purchase of the hats.……….came with zippers to open for sips……….however, the mesh remained! We laughed and laughed and laughed some more…… I pulled out the off spray and carried on our drinking into the evening…….. Side note, the rain came down Saturday afternoon and drenched...

A buddy and I took last weekend to ride the back roads up to Balsam Lake, camp and ride the cottage roads through the area. 503/507 etc. camp fire tales and laughs. Floating the idea of trailering the bikes down east to Cape Breton and tour the Island/Cabot Trail. Perusing Marketplace for...

For the keep hands clean secret, dawn dish soap does the job just fine. The orange mechanic wash is second best. Dove shampoo for hair and nails. 😉

Happy Canada Day gang! Getting packed and ready for camping this weekend. Rain gear included!

My phone can’t handle the heat when mounted on the bars and exposed to the sun. I keep the phone with me and cast to a separate screen as others have suggest. You can even have a charge adapter from your trickle charger pig tail to plug in a cord for your phone.

I think the listing is pretty honest too. Front tire which the pic clearly shows and abs isn’t functional and rear drive bolt stripped. I might be concerned about the last time the shaft drive fluid was changed and you can fix the treads/drain plug. The abs could be a spendy fix or leave...

After clicking this one, below is listed an FJR for $2k. Not a bad little beater to tour around on. It’s definitely been loved but, I’m sure another 100k can be made with the regular maintenance items needing some attention...

For every story I’ve heard of riding the plains with nothing in sight for hours, there are just as many that encountered severe winds and heavy rain. And it can be alarming to see a double trailer of grain cross the highway with plenty of room but it takes some getting used to. The only city...

I think the “looks fast” to class it as too risky for new riders isn’t productive. You can ban certain makes and models for new riders and bake in some power to weight ratios and even max weight class to avoid large touring machines that can be troublesome for newer riders. I find it a...

I guess chaps would be an option? 😳

Venturing off road…maybe the occasional jaunt with a pillion? I’d look at a scrambler of some sort. Different bike, torquey engine, wider bars and riding dynamic. Can manage a pillion for apps at happy hour. There are a few machines that dress casual and do alright with adv style tires...

YouTube the oil change job and do it yourself. Even if you pay regular price for the oil, you are ahead. The nice thing about some quality dealers, they can check other things. Condition of chain and sprockets, fork seals and any other wear items, brake pads etc. the brakes is something you...

Removed the air injection from the T100. Quick and easy and find the engine responds better and feels smoother. Could be pure conjecture on my part but, I think it’s worth it. Also noticed the centre stand come down on some drips in the road. Little garage inspection revealed one of two...
