Like most bikes they will instantly fall apart after getting a salt bath. ..Tom

My first ride or 2023! Pretty much a "round the block ride" from Port Perry to Lindsay, Peterborough, Norwood, Hastings, Cobourg and home with only about 265 km. Looks like decent riding over the next three days. ..Tom

Back from visiting my Daughter in Calgary. Went for a very little year end ride. Only did 86 km because visibility got pretty bad. Ended up with 61,086 km in 2022. ..Tom

I should be back from visiting my daughter in Calgary by Dec 31st so there is a slim chance that I might get a little ride in. I doubt it but I can hope. ..Tom

Looks like I'm stuck at 61,000 km for 2022. Haven't been able to ride for the last week. This week too sketchy and Friday gone for a week to spend time with Family in Calgary (flying.) ..Tom

That's pretty much it. I did 15,000 km heading to Alaska and back, 9,000km on a ride to Florida Keys and New Orleans, Sunday rides typically anything from 250 to 800 km, sometimes more, and commuting probably is 20,000 to 25,000 km a year. My bike is my everyday vehicle. I have a car and...

Went out for a little ride today. Didn't expect to see any other riders out but saw a cruiser southbound on highway 45 south of Baltimore heading southbound. Don't know what brand it was.) I was northbound on my Orange and white V-Strom. Anyone from here? ..Tom

The new V-Strom DL800de sounds like a great bike! For me the lack of cruise control and having tubed tires would stop me from getting it. If they offer a version with cruise and tubeless I would certainly consider it. I would have to ride it for sure as it is quite possible that, as much as I...

On my way home from work today I crossed over 60,000 km for 2022. Last year was 57,670 km for the year. ..Tom

Got out for a little ride today. I didn't go far as there was snow drifts covering the roads in some places. Not fun on the bike but crossing them was uneventful. ..Tom

I sure did! Left the province thee times. In May to Tail of the dragon for an annual meet up, then down to Key West and New Orleans. (That completed riding my bikes to all the lower 48 states.) In July to Alaska, (Anchorage and Seward). In September a short day trip as far as a bit west of...

My last ride up until now was Sunday Nov 14th. There was scattered snow showers around so nothing epic, jus ta little loop from Port Perry, Cobourg, Grafton, Campbelford, Hastings, Keene, etc A bit short of 300 km so not far. It was 0c to +4c with the odd light snow showers. I'm at 59,000 km...

Thursday eve I was heading from my ride to Alaska and there was about 20 Hell's Angels at a Timmies I was stopping at in Parry Sound. In person they were pleasant enough. ..Tom

I picked up my bike around 5:30 and did a little loop around Lake Simcoe. Maybe 130 km. ..Tom

Try "Pete's Superbike". You have to setup and account with them (no charge) to get prices. Even with shipping have been very good prices. ..Tom

Was out yesterday, not far maybe 250 km. Saw two cruiser's (I think they were) heading onto country Rd 57 north not far from hwy 35. Other than that didn't see anyone. Dropped off my bike at my dealer for some sceduled maint and a couple of minor issues. With luck will be picking up soon. ..Tom
