That shop - identifiable by the huge wood carving of a native Indian with feathers - has a feeble selection and huge prices. There's a similar one in Yorkville on the upper level of a building on the south side of the one-way westbound (don't know the name). They'll do if you need a small one-of...

BUMP: come on, they need a good home!

SOLD - at long last...

I found an obscure posting on ADVrider for these tiny little loop-on-a-bolt thingies (for lack of a better description) and I drilled - as per their instructions - into the corners of the panniers so as not to mess up any of the inner workings. I bolted the loop onto the pannier, using plenty of...

It may surprise you, but the list I had posted (above) actually doesn't take up that much room. In the photo, the yellow dry sack contains the sleeping bag, pillow, hatchet, knife, flashlights, cooking pot bundle, Coleman fuel cell, cutlery, powders, fluffy booties, and small mesh cap/hat...

I like what "nobbie48" noted in his post, about the difference between the two "types" of sleeping in the outdoors. For the longer travel plans that RELY on being in open nature, I too fit my sleeping bag and small travel towel in a hefty dry sack (spent the extra coin on a yellow Ortlieb bag...

BUMP: any interest?

Please see ad on Kijiji. Can't hurt to spread the word a little.. http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-street-cruisers-choppers-02-VTX1800R-mint-showroom-W0QQAdIdZ381083469

We now have 4 people confirmed and good to go. Need just one more 100% confirmation.

I need 4 more BMW riders to join me an form a group of 5 - to take a one-day private training course from BMW for $160 (which includes riding gear, all you can eat lunch, a trail pass for the day, and all taxes). You bring and ride your own bike. The conclusion of this one day course is some...

For anyone interested: I've contacted Steve @ TrailTours.com for a one-on-one training day out in the Ganaraska forest. I'll be riding my R1200GS. Price confirmation will follow (shouldn't be much higher than what he quoted me in a previous year, which was $110 for the day: half-day on his bike...

The Moto Safety Team members get paired up as partners, and each pairing gets assigned a "trouble intersection" for the duration of the cyclists passing through; once the last cyclist has gone, the pair calls dispatch and get reassigned further up the route to repeat the task. We do this both...

My GS is at 110,000km and the only things I've had done to it so far were under warranty (replace the entire final drive about 4yrs ago). Everything else is original; I've had no problems until a recent electrical gremlin.. but that seems to have fixed itself when I removed the battery from the...

I hear you. Mine's an 05, but I'm now running into electrical gremlins [damn that CANBUS crap] to the tune of over $1600... so I'm beginning to wonder where my money would be best spent.

Dear present and past members of the Moto Safety Team... and welcome potential aspiring new members, too! We have started assembling the roster for the 2012 event (taking place on June 09 and 10, barely SIX months away). From past participation, we all know time flies and the event gets close...

For the R1200GS riders (like me), big news from Bavaria: it looks like next year's model looks gets 50cc more and liquid-cooling!! http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/bmw/2013-bmw-r1250gs-preview-91202.html

Aside from the possible off-gassing leak, it's not much of a disaster. You can do one of a few things: 1. take some cellophane and wrap the neck & mouth first, then screw on the cap 2. soak a natural cork in water for about 30min, then gently insert it in place of the screw cap 3. get a rubber...

Well put!!! Those are blended whiskeys (if you can call them that).. I'm far too great a snob!
