You’ve narrowed it down between the 1250 and 1300. I’d just look for the best example within your price range and have at it. You can go down the rabbit hole of features available for the given model year for best value in the used market. Some owners switch up to get the latest and off load...

I try to support local family businesses. Especially when it comes to restaurants. It’s not an easy thing to keep going under the best of circumstances. Good people, good food, decent price, you’ll get my hard earned dollars. Even when I travel, I seek out local recommendations to support...

I’m so conflicted with this. I’m riding this air cooled Bonneville and here I am installing a screen to have Waze displayed and take calls and messages through my wired up helmet. The great thing is, I can just take the stuff off and ride like god intended but, I do shake my head at myself...

I can’t help myself. I instantly fall in love with the looks a bike before even riding it. The look, the sound, the feel. It’s interactive art. Then I ride it and enjoy the heck out of it. It makes me feel great. The warts are exposed and I’m compelled to make changes. The quick and easy...

What a tragedy. Rip. https://ca.yahoo.com/news/three-dead-collision-car-four-143131277.html

Not until July. Balsam Lake is booked for July 3-5. Ride the area. Heading there from Oakville on the Friday morning.

A fella had a new tracer 9 at Niagara’s DGR in blue and she was a beauty. It had the utility box panniers and guard rails, skid plate etc with street tires on spoked wheels. It looked every bit of ADV style and ergos. High seat height and ground clearance. Had a Corbin seat as well come to...

I have an iphone12 and when running Waze it can drain the phone battery pretty quick. It can also heat up when mounted to the bike. Thus the reason for looking at a purpose use item I can pair to and keep the phone out of harms way and even keep it plugged in to maintain the battery. I...

The unit itself overheats from sun exposure? It’s a bit disappointing there is no power switch. You have to disconnect the phone and then it goes to the main menu and can tap the screen “off” but, not sure if it’s really off. Haven’t looked into connecting to the ignition wiring or...

We downsized earlier 2024 and moved to Ridgeway. Took a bit of a haircut on the primary house and thought we made out like bandits when we purchased the new place. It was listed for over a year and was an estate home owned by 4 siblings. We initially made an offer that was rejected because of...

I’ve been working away at cleaning my ride and getting to know it better. Rear sprocket and chain looked decent, so I gave it a thorough clean and lube. The polished drive sprocket cover looked great but, wondered how the sprocket itself looked. I don’t know the last time it was done but...

Picked up one of these in Burlington. Light and compact and actually comfortable. Purchased at the store with additional 15% off the discounted price. Yes, more expensive than CTC but, the quality is pretty good. https://www.sail.ca/en/sail-alu-packlite-eco-chair-747772

Balsam Lake Provincial Park is $98 taxes and fees included for 2 nights. Can remember if I booked electric or not. Firewood on the other hand can be expensive to keep going. On a bike, bringing cheaper local sourced stuff can be challenging.

Getting excited for motorcycle camping this July. Balsam Lake base camp and ride the “highlands” Might not be as exciting as Ewan and Charley but, will do our best. I’m on the Bonnie and buddy on his R65.

I think as a new rider or even new driver, they don’t experience or witness the things seasoned riders do. Long weekend? It’s the best time to get out and ride! For sure, I’ve encountered the absent minded driver that doesn’t see me or entitled driver that doesn’t care or just congestion...

It’s an astute observation when considering how much money spent on equipment to protect the important parts of our body. As for the likes of me, it’s really a matter of which helmets I should retire as accumulating them along with everything else seems to be more of an issue. Have I checked...

I’m blessed with a career working from home and explore the roads when most are in the office. I also left the city life that made it helpful to just get out. Considering this forum is for the greater Toronto area, that isn’t the case for most. Even when I rewind the clock back to my city...

Perfect day for a ride.

Even Triumph adapts to the times. They add and remove models as trends come and go. The “standard” offers remain but, they dropped some models like the Thunderbird and Sprint. I suspect the Bobber will drop soon. All this to say you can offer the classic models that have a following and...
