My wife is a bit desensitized from the change over in the garage and doesn’t really show any interest. She popped in from the garage and asked, “When are we going for a ride?” Grabbed her gear and went out for a tour today and she was all smiles. She asked, “Can we keep this one a little...

It’s only the right side. The left is a battery cover with the Union Jack. It’s not really a big deal. But, I’ve been a little more patriotic. My grocery getter is red with a Canadian flag on the rear hatch and the T100 was red and white and added a maple leaf.

I’m going to look into removing the America sticker actually. The ownership has the model as USA. Maybe that was the reason they wanted to trade? It’s a nice ride so, I’m gonna let it go for now. 😂

Dupe post

The Givi hard cases don’t really match the bike but, are functional. The T100 had a little more growl from the peashooters. This thing is quiet! Kinda dig the two tone paint scheme and and the beach bars style is different than anything else I’ve ridden. I have ridden a similar year...

I think if you approach them in a friendly manner and don’t expect them to do as you say, you’ll get the same in return. It might be a different story going into the office on a Friday near closing time with everyone already annoyed and wanting to get out of there, the agent might just give you...

America. Terrible name but, great middle weight cruiser. Easy to manage around the garage and toot along the parkway with my little lady.

There are 2 pics in the link. Here is the new to me machine.

Maybe it’s because of near full moon? Back to cruising

Small town Fort Erie Service Ontario. Registered the bike with bill of sale stating it’s a trade with a value of $1 and only paid 13 cents tax. My trading friend did the same thing in Toronto and didn’t have an issue either. Other than cost of ownership change, process was pretty easy...

One of the fellas at the Niagara Distinguished Gentlemans Ride was kicking his XL650 in downtown NoTL with many offering assistance. After several attempts to start his bike, a check revealed he turned the fuel off. Once turned on, it started right up! Many laughed and laughed and laughed...

There is a nice independent shop in Kingston closing this year because the owner is retiring. Great customer base and revenue via winter storage. There are a couple of possibilities to file the void but, ultimately the shop won’t be the same once the owner retires. There are plenty of...

Our vacation with friends starts end of September and into October. I think it’s a great idea! For next year! 😉

As of last month, confidence in the ferry hasn’t fully returned. It’s still a concern for locals who rely on it and not sure if it can manage anything more than ideal conditions. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/wolfe-islander-iv-ferry-kingston-service-resumes-august-2026-9.7325988

Mis Missed that. Thanks for the correction!

Out-of-province vehicles Vehicles from another Canadian or U.S. jurisdiction that are registered in Ontario will have their vehicle brand carried over, except for the “Rebuilt” brand, which will be downgraded to “Salvage.” Before these vehicles can be driven in Ontario, they require a...

Think I’ll do something like that. It’s not a large sum of money to pay in the grand scheme of things. Just don’t want to pay based on actual value and never really ran into issues registering a bike with a purchase price under a grand and saying it was a project. Thank you everyone for...

I’m looking into doing a trade, bike for bike and wanted to know if anyone has recently done this? I did it a few years ago with a classic car. Service Ontario still needed an appraisal to put a value on the vehicle. The premise is likely the same for bikes. However, an appraisal isn’t...

I’m not a contacts guy so, I’m always wearing glasses. I guess the question is what kind of helmet to wear with eyewear is the question. I know specific motorcycle eyewear typically has contours that make it challenging depending on your script. I’m at an age with progressive bifocals. I...
