I know it maybe too late now, but did you try a Sealmate or something similar to clean around seals? I had this happen on a trip many years ago far from home and 40,000 miles later there is still no leak after using the Sealmate I've been carrying for the last 15 years. I do change the fork...

That is great, I didn't think they would do it under the new system. I remember when Canadian Tire used to do them for m/c many years ago. Wonder if they can (or will) do them now.

Just watch out for the drunk/stoned drivers, that's when many of them are out as well.

I usually don’t go out on long weekends and thought today most of those travelling would have left by now. Stayed on secondary roads and only one tool that coasted at a stop sign making a right into my lane but I expected to be cut off. After 2 hours headed home. I was hoping to grab the photo...

I don’t remember Canadian Tire having the British parts back then. Usually the junk yard. Dom’s in Oshawa

I remember the points and distributors being flakey. I remember messing with the timing lights and sanding the points. I was the wrench and screw driver getter. I was also the watch for the superintendent as we weren’t supposed to work on the cars in the underground parking. But winter and we...

My brother had an MGB, MGB Midget and TR7. I think it was one of the reasons he became an electrical engineer. He too ended up rewiring them but that was back in the 70s when DIY stuff was hard to find but we had great “shop” teachers back then. He sold the lot and got a 69 Super Bee then sold...

I guess they are the MGBs and Spitfires of today, but with better electrics.

I have the plastic map pocket on the tank bag too. When on a long trip, at a break, I pull the gps off the bike and put it in my pocket. Take the tank bag in for a coffee break and browse the paper map. Fold it in the section that covers the next three hours or so and place that section in the...

Tough negotiator. Hmmm I will let you know in a 100,000 km

@Lightcycle Price just went up. Supply and demand!

I've seen the price of used cars, not to mention new ones. I think I will drive this one into the ground first.

Thanks for posting that link. I loved CMG online when Rob started it. I met him once on one of the pub nights. What a positive and enthusiastic person. Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the accident.

It has 260,000 kms now. I’d probably have to pay someone to take it 😂

I remember when automatic transmissions were an upgrade option! It does keep you alert and engaged. Also humbled when you stall it making a left turn with your wife in the car. I taught the kids how to drive manuals by starting at the bottom of a hill (light traffic) and having them stop and...

Had to add to the thread drift.

I’ve used this in the 10W40 version , for $50 when on sale at GP Bikes for 3 seasons now and like it.

Looks like Nick Adams was up there with you folks.

It still has insect eyes. But nice job on the screen. The trunk beats the Silverwood dairy crate for sure.

Thanks for the Fram air filter tip. Never knew that.
