The Shadow was my first bike, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it. welcome

Costco Elite Roadside Assistance is 62.99/year and covers motorcycles

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, there's some really good riding out there. It was hard for me to get off the bike, I ended up doing 700km on Friday. If I were to go back again I'd skip the first leg I had planned as the riding only got started getting good at Blue Mountain. Mountain...

No loctite, but I've had the same bolts on my last bike for 2 years with no issues, they were on there pretty damn tight. I really hope that the plate just fell off but I have a really hard time believing that. I doubt both bolts would fall off like that either, probably one first than the...

best reason I can think of is for the validation sticker

I went for a ride this morning and then came back home for a bit for lunch. After eating I went to wash my bike and noticed the license plate was gone. I didn't notice anything in the morning but it was early in the morning. I don't think the plate could've fell off either as I bolted it on...

Awesome, I'll drive down from Southampton to Grandbend and then loop around. I'll be going to Kitchener after so it won't be too far. I'll peruse that thread as well, otherwise I'm looking forward to some quality time with the bike

I was looking forward to trying out an F800GT

Thanks, that's good to know. Owen sound is also a lot better logistically, its at the halfway point of the trip and its close to everything, hotel prices look pretty reasonable too.

I was thinking of doing 2 days around the grey bruce area and was looking for recommendations for a accomodations. Right now I'm thinking of Barrhead Pub & Grill in Markdale, ON, its right on Grey Road 12 which is near the end of 'leg 2' of my trip. Also f I'm missing any must-see roads let me...

I remember when I started I had a bit of trouble with shifting a friend of mine gave me some advice that worked really well for me; He told me to learn the feel of the clutch by slipping it in and out of the friction zone while stopped at red lights, etc while keeping your thumb and index...

If you want a discount you're going to have to wait. If you were ok with a '12 just buy a 2009+ used, its the same thing and you'll save a few thousand. The big piston forks on the '13 look sweet but I wouldn't pay several thousand for them....

The custom painted tank kills it...."BABAR"

I'm pretty certain its 360 motorsports, as I'm pretty certain I saw OP's bike around month ago there but walked away after realizing how unprofessional they were and seeing what crappy shape the bike was in. Their price was a lot higher then it should have been, and considering it was an...

I ordered some alter ego pants, I like the convertible aspect of them. I wish I knew about them before, I would've gotten a Super Ego convertible jacket too, it seems ideal for touring.

I'm looking for some pants to wear while driving in the city/touring that provides decent protection compared to jeans, something that's a good middle ground between assless chaps and ultra tight race leathers. Riding during the day I'm scorching hot, then riding at night I'm cold. I was...

I use a Shoei half-tint visor, works all day and night.

I am pretty sure I almost bought this bike in May.... I called the guy and told him I was coming in the next morning, I showed up and no one was there. The mechanic told me the sales guy was off at a wedding, so he let me dick around with the bike for a bit. I saw it was a US bike and the...
