Was wrenching the bike most of sunday so didnt get much riding done. Went through the Adirondacks today and it was cold as fuark, weather was nice between 1ish pm to 5ishpm and then got cold quick. I cut it short and booked it back to buffalo, ended up doing about 800km today. Will head back to...

Tomtom told me their devs haven't gotten around to adding winding roads on android yet...apple has had the feature since 2012. A huge load of BS on tomtom's part to push overpriced tomtom rider units. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

I cracked and ordered in a Dainese Xantum D-dry textile waterproof jacket. Even if its not totally waterproof it will be better in the cold with my leathers. With the tour master rainsuit over it I imagine I'll stay dry Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

I woke up this morning and decided I was going on tour even if it was 3 degrees out so I put on 3 layers and shot down the 401 east up to Belleville. It was cold to start but not so bad, plus traffic was thin all the way. I got to ride around around Calabogie all morning and I'm staying in...

I got the size XL industrial rubber gloves from dollarama and they fit perfectly over my size L gloves. Any dish washing glove would work though. You could go and try them on or just buy a bunch and see what works since theyre so cheap. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

I have the tour master elite rain suit and the tour master boot covers, I'm still not a fan of the gettup. I think because the Super Ego jacket is already so cumbersome adding another layer on top just makes it worse. Maybe if I were to strip down to the mesh layer and put the rain suit on top...

I gave up on dry hands until I was aat the dollarama and found pairs of XL industrial rubber gloves for $2 - best overgloves I've ever used. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

I pretty much always ride with leathers head to toe but am reevaluating since putting on a rainsuit, over gloves and over boots is such a pain, and somehow I still manage to get wet. What do people here tour with? And how do you deal with rain? Is the waterproofed textile stuff actually...

I use the android app when I tour in the states but didn't realize iphone had this feature and android didn't. I e-mailed Tomtom and they told me that the app wasn't meant to be used on a motorcycle and asked for proof the iphone app had the winding roads feature. I replied with a copy of...

Forgot to zip up my tankbag after crossing the border back into Canada and noticed some papers hitting me in the face, I realized it was my passport so I had to pull over and retrace my steps on the QEW for about 30 minutes to find my passport which had been run over several times by then. It's...

I went there for a set of Pilot Road 2's and left with a set of Pilot Powers. That being said, they gave me the option to switch out the tires at no extra charge or just take $100 off the PP's. I took the discount and was pretty happy about it since I was putting those tires on to sell the bike.

I've only had good experiences with Joe Rocket jackets. I've been through 3 so far, 1 textile one and 2 leather ones. I used to wear the textile (I believe it was a Phoenix jacket) on hotter days and the leather (Blaster) on colder days. Both were excellent in terms of fit, finish and looks...

Lol I was a couple beers deep Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

OK that quote makes more sense for pp3's, my mistake. I caught those pr4's on a fluke sale but I'll give you a call next time I need tires. I actually need a suspension upgrade in the near future if your shop is up for it.

Speedworx would've had my business if I got that quote 2 weeks ago when I emailed. Everywhere else gave me outrageous quotes. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

People just don't read.....I am going to the states for a tour anyways and I didn't get a quote anywhere close to that when I was calling around last week. I started this thread to see if anyone knew a buffalo tire installer, not one post even attempted to answer my question... Sent from my...

I emailed you about two weeks ago and didnt get a response when I asked about price. I'm paying about 384 US total, so its still a couple bucks cheaper since I won't be paying HST and your price may go up based on size. I'm going to rip around in PA anyways so crossing the border is no skin...

Actually comes to roughly $345 for my sizes plus tax and shipping comes to 420 Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

A set of Michelin Pilot Road 4's. $275 USD shipped, cheapest I could find them here was $420 CAD shipped. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

Going with a place called Big Ed's Motorcycle Repair. Its $100 to get the tires mounted so not a great deal but its a reputable shop. I spoke to him on the phone and he seemed pretty honest and up front. Either way with the amount I'm saving on tires I'm still ahead by about $100 after. Sent...
