    River Road - Nov 5th 2022

    River road is a scenic ride now. So sit back and enjoy. The intersecting 2nd line East and Prince of Whales have nice curves and fewer residents.

    New transalp

    Like these mid-size Adventure bikes and Honda should borrow a page from Triumph and have an option of a more road focused model with 17/ 19 wheels instead of the 18/21 for quicker steering and lower for shorties like me. Still think the Transalp will have limited ground clearance with their...

    Has anyone seen ToSlow?

    Can you imagine what it would be like if we still had to sit in front of a computer to view and respond like it was in 2005 when I joined. My bike specific forum R1200R (R1250R) has really good participation for a very low volume model but has world wide participation and lots of interesting...

    Looking to buy a spring compressor

    They loop through the cast ends of the fork that hold the brake calliper. Fork tube is being heldin a workmate. Also used a vice with soft jaws to hold the tube reinstalling the springs and levelling the fluid.

    Looking to buy a spring compressor

    Here is one on Amazon that will do the trick. This I would use in conjunction with straps or the large spring compressing tools. But this manufacturer unit would allow you to exert more force than the homemade unit. May order one to replace my home made unit...

    Looking to buy a spring compressor

    Here is why I used with ratchet straps to compress front fork springs. Some plumbing pipe and a few bolts washes and nuts. Think this was the inspiration YouTube

    River Road - Nov 5th 2022

    Was very quiet on Friday and combined it with a run up through Pretty River and then back to Creemore for lunch. Thankfully River Road is a longer ride to get there so keeps the numbers down compared with the Forks.

    2022 Day Trips!

    Finally visited on our drive to the US Open in September. Beautiful Park and lunch and desert was excellent. Your recommendation over the years had me put it out my Google maps list. Thanks for the recommendation and BTW it was voted as the best State Park in the US in 2021.

    Ride Report: Two Wheelin' through the Canary Islands

    Looks incredible Can add several more volcanic Islands to the list including St. Miguel in the Azores. Lots of direct flights from Toronto and only 6 hours away. However, not as dry as the Canaries so depending on when you visit, you can expect rain or mist and sunshine all on the same...

    Motorcycle Experience TV show

    It is advertorial and fully sponsored by the bike brands but the alternative is nothing Canadian. I look especially if it is showcasing a bike I am interested in. The PVR allows you to be selective. Big Rock Moto is currently my favourite YouTube review as he does an in-depth review after...

    Toronto Election-The War on Cars/Bikes

    Last night I saw a fire truck with lights and sirens ablaze on the Danforth as the cars had absolutely no where to go with the parking lane full and bicycle/E-bike express lane protected by curbs. Finally a smarter driver turned down a side street and the others followed to let the truck...

    2022 Day Trips!

    How did you like Letterkenny road? It is one of the few roads in the Valley that I have not been on yet. Seems to be very popular with the cruiser crowd.
