Any EV owners here planning to switch (or already did) to the new ultra-low overnight plans? These are the rates my power company will offer: And this is what I'm paying now:

You saying I should wear a face mask under my helmet?

Looking at the air quality health index, it's worst in toronto and ottawa. I'm going to nova scotia where it's better although I will be passing through the ottawa area. https://weather.gc.ca/airquality/pages/index_e.html

I heard that some schools in toronto are having indoor recess today.

Do you guys think it's a bad idea to take a touring trip next week due to the air quality? I was gonna go for a multi-day ride and not sure if being outside on my bike for several long days in a row is a bad idea now and maybe I should postpone the trip until air quality improves.

I'm riding to nova scotia next week, you're welcome to join but I already planned out my route. day 1: my house to thetford mines, qc day 2: around the gaspe peninsula and sleep in bathurst, nb day 3: yarmouth, ns day 4: sydney ns day 5: around the cabot trail to amherst, ns day 6 and onward...

RIP

What I read is that the foam hardens and becomes brittle over time, and then no longer protects your head as well. This is caused mainly by usage (sweat from your head, chemicals from products in your hair, etc) but even with no usage, time still plays a role. I'm just repeating what I read, I'm...

It's probably still fine, but not really ideal. A lot of improvement has happened in 8 years, and degradation happens even in storage, although a lot slower than while being used.

The one non-straight road I can recall is road 36 (riverview line) going west out of chatham. But seriously, take the car.

If it doesn't come with saddlebags, Motorcycle Luggage & Bags Experts - Vikingbags makes them for many cruisers.

A Suzuki Boulevard? Lots on the used market and they're cheap. The c50 is 800cc but it only has 56hp. The C90 and M90 would be better options, they're cheap too. Then there's the M109 but I heard those handle like crap.

I'd guess a lot less than 400. I had a 2019 790 Adventure, it had a 20L tank and would do 450 kms. Got 60 mpg. Not sure how much more fuel hungry the 890 engine is, probably a little.

Tire still not in, can't join :( but I'm sure you'll have a great ride, the roads up there are always fun

I'm up for it but my rear tire is done and I just ordered a new one, not sure if it'll arrive before Monday.

I only looked at the metzeler one and the instructions said to print and mail, but if there's an online way to do it then that's great.

I've now done about 700 kms since I put in liquimoly 10w40 full synthetic, and it seems fine so far. Bike shifts identically to how it always has. Whatever issue the other guy had, it's probably unique to his bike.

Too much effort. First you have to print out their rebate form (who still even has a printer in 2023?) then you have to fill it out, buy an envelope to put it in, put a stamp on it (I don't even remember how to buy a stamp) then mail it. Way too much work for $40.
