When I changed bikes it wasn't because the bike was worn out but because there were upgrades that appealed to me. The 2012 DL650 added ABS and I liked the dash info better than my 2006. The 2015 DL1000 added Traction control, the 2020 DL 1050 added cornering abs and to me ,very important, Cruise...

Thanks! ..Tom

Not really planning to get a new bike yet. It only has 250,000 km on it. :) There is first generation V-Strom DL1000 that has over 437,000 **miles** on it so should be some life left in mine. :) ..Tom

in 2024 I rode a total of 53,860 km (so far) at least 38,696 km was not commuting. About 15,164 km was commuting, probably a bit less. (I based these numbers on the dates I filled my tank so there is probably some error but its close.) ..Tom

I don't have much for spare time. When there isn't risk of ice and snow I commute to work on my bike, on my day's off (Sunday and Wed's) I almost always for for a little ride (I call it "round the block" and it usually is around 300 km sometimes more.) I did a few rides this year but nothing...

Still here. Just been crazy busy with work and changing my home address next month. Should have ridden today but busy packing and not feeling all that well. Last ride was last week, as of then I was at 53,860.00 km / 33,467 miles riding in 2024. My 2020 V-Strom DL1050 has 250,625.00 km...

I've only seen the odd Pan America in Ontario but seen a fair amount in southern Alberta, Montana, Wyoming etc. The riders of them out west that I spoke to were all doing trips with their PA's. Ie Alaska, Mexico, South America. Nice to see them using them that way. ..Tom

Okay then il pass and try next week. ..Tom

Thanks! What time? I won't know until Weds aft. ..Tom

Thanks for the reminder. I'll try and catch some. Have lots in the plate so it might be later in May if not next week. Where is next week's meet? ..Tom

Not even remotely! I don't like cold. I'm wimp. Heated gear makes it practical. ..Tom

I didn't ride in January. Partially being sick, other part was bike in the shop and waiting for a part. got the bike back in Beginning of February. ..Tom

My work is 70 km each way which is part of it. Sundays and Mondays are my days off. This past Sunday went to Bancroft and then Huntsville. I think that was a 450 km day. I went to Prince Edward county to watch the clouds block the eclipse on Monday. That ended up being a 400+ km day. The week...

For some, riding season been here for a while! As of last night's gas fill my bikes at at 8,192 km for this year so far. :) Gear can make a huge difference! .. Tom

Me too! Looks like I'm stuck for a while at 4,925 km for the year so far, at least until tomorrow's snow is gone. (That is if it actually amounts to what the weather is saying.) We didn't get a lot of snow in Port Perry yesterday but lots of blowing, near white outs and the roads were very...

Garmin Zumo XT. My last three Zumo's had weather radar on them. Garmin has messed it up a bit but it is still very handy. It connects with the phone so the phone needs a data connection (Same with the weather app) which also has road conditions map showing wet, icy, snow and also weather...

Went for a little ride today (Saw a bike westbound on 7a in Port Perry.) Nice and sunny, balmy +5. Saw dark clouds to the north and my gps weather radar showed it as rain with snow a ways to the west. A few flurries fell, some ice pellets then it started properly snowing. Temp dropped to +1...

I couldn't get a full day of riding in Monday (which is my day off work) because I had to pickup some tires for a client so that took my day until close to 1pm. We did have a dusting of snow overnight and travelled roads were all done. Did a loop traveling north side of Rice Lake then through...

That's great news! Means the snow I'm getting this evening might not form ice on the road if I get a chance to ride Monday. ..Tom
