    Jacket recommendation for a fat guy

    I'm in the same boat... Sleeve length and shoulder room always have always been a problem for me; I'm about 6'4". Even as my weight has fluctuated over the years, my neck/shoulder size don't change much.

    Jacket recommendation for a fat guy

    Wow... that thought never crossed my mind! I'll have to try that, because no one, including my doctor has ever told me that I should!

    Jacket recommendation for a fat guy

    I've been wearing a PowerTrip Power Shift jacket for a while now, but I've managed to lose a bunch of weight, and it's too big now. I want to get a new textile jacket, but I can't find anything that fits... It looks like Royal isn't selling PowerTrip any more, and I seem to be just outside of...

    Got a new project

    Keep in mind that Hondas from that era usually came with two different keys... One for the ignition, the other for the seat and fork mounted steering lock.

    Got a new project

    +1 to that... Pretty much anything that fits into the slot will open the tank.

    Got a new project

    If you were to ask my wife, she would say yes in a heartbeat! For me it's more of an emotional letting go... It's the bike a learned to wrench on; I've had it since I was 18... I'm 33 now! It's also a rarer model being the automatic. If it didn't cost so much to insure, I would have it on...

    New Dealer

    Here's the reply I got when I asked on Serpa Motorrad's Facebook page... "...here's the story: In the interests of serving motorcycle enthusiasts even better, BMW Canada has decided to consolidate BMW Motorrad into few free standing units separate from auto dealerships. Accordingly, Serpa BMW...

    when does every one stop riding??

    Rode on Sunday... it was a little chilly but not to bad... My wife doesn't like me riding when there's snow on the ground, so I think I'm done for the year.

    New Dealer

    Strange... when I was there in the summer they were talking about the expansion plans, which included the Motorrad division. Do you know which old Kahuna building they are moving into? I'm surprised that BMW is allowing another line to be sold along side them; didn't they create a stink when...

    Serpa (formerly Open Road) BMW in Newmarket

    I did the demo ride last year, and I was kind of put off by the experience. I had spoken with Cray several weeks in advance so I could try out 2 different bikes I was considering at the time. When he called shortly before the day, he confirmed the times and reminded me to bring my $20. When I...

    where can I pick up a ram mount?

    I've been using this http://www.gpscity.ca/gilsson-bare-wire-power-cable.html to power my Garmin Nuvi 250 for a couple of years now, and have never had an issue with it.

    why does my bike get better range on 91 gas?

    It depends on what station you go to. Shell and PetroCanada have no ethanol in their 91 gas (PetroCan 94 does have 10% though!) Canadian Tire, Husky and Esso all have "up to 10%" in all grades. Just to make things even more complicated, once you get out beyond the outskirts of the GTA, it...

    Cheap Tires

    I know that tire threads have been done to death, but I can't seem to find an answer to what I'm looking for. There's a wealth of knowledge on here about places that have good prices on good tires, but I'm looking for something quite cheap for a project bike I am working on. I need a 3.60x19...

    BMW Bikes?

    Definitely go with the bike that is the most comfortable, and appeals to you. Just be prepared for higher maintenance costs, unless you do the work yourself. I’ve found that a lot of shops won’t touch a BMW because it is a BMW. (Yes, they are notorious for using torx and e-torx fasteners)...
