The silver lining for this weather is enjoying the hot tub. The missus doesn’t enjoy the wind or rain but, clear and cold the tub is a great way to melt away the winter blues. It’s no substitute for riding but, it helps!

@TK4 Thanks for contribution to this thread and others. Really appreciate if you visit for the motorcycle threads and chime in. The political threads will die down and was the warmer weather approaches, there will be more discussion motorcycle related. Cheers!

Kawi’s tag line, let the good times roll still applies. Doesn’t say if you are pushing it or not.

100% cars fault. They should not enter the hov lane until the enter/exit allows. However, I’m always very cautious when there is a speed differential between lanes. When one lane is at a stand still and there is another moving, I’m anticipating the possibility of a vehicle attempting to...

Wind gust out the Niagara way are just too much to enjoy riding in.

Sipping Canadian whiskey while listening to the rolling thunder is helping with the weather blues.

FIL has a small one that manages branches the thickness of your thumb. Anything larger and it chokes. End up spending more time pruning the branches to make them easier to chip then actually running them through the chipper. He has an old furnace oil tank on a trailer frame and wheels it to...

Seems like the longest winter ever. I’m itching to get out for a ride but, I’m not freezing my balls off. Rain forecast is discouraging. Praying to the sun gods for some relief soon!

Didn’t think they offerred those in North America markets. There are a few variants of the Shadow in 2007. Same liquid cooled 750 engine and different seats, fenders, tank etc. I could be wrong. Wasn’t aware of any v-twin 600 cc Honda cruiser for that year/model.

This looks like a Shadow Spirit and typically a 750 and believe the mileage is 16,100 kms. Not a bad bike or price

Winter beater? 😝

Zack just did a daily rider episode for the 450.

When in Rome……and free…….

Quite a few out and about with tidy tails and zipping through traffic on the QEW yesterday. Was a little jelly if I’m being honest. My age and experience had me pondering concern for those riders encountering mindless cage drivers that may change lanes unexpectedly and end up seeing a wreck...

Booking 1 night at Ontario Provincial Park. Bare minimum, no electric etc. site, taxes and fees are $55 per night. Just to put things in perspective from a cost standpoint. Not to suggest camping. But, if camping is $55 and you bring your own stuff, a hotel or motor inn is gonna cost ya...

We avoid chains and occasionally go to small owner operator places that helps take the sting out of the cost. At least makes us feel better. If the place has live music, even better. The Black Bull in Burlington, South Coast in Ridgeway, The Valley in St Catharines, Spicy Tai in St...

Work appointment Tuesday had me see the temps at 15C from the cage display and wanting to hustle back for a little romp. Temp started to drop but, took the bike out for a little run along the parkway. Find the rear shock a little jouncy and might need to search for a rebuild or replacement via...

Why is it my hoodie strings only come out at the start of a multi hour ride and the tappy tap on my helmet has absolutely no rhythm of enjoyment whatsoever!

Is it a mistake when you test the range of the low fuel light? My calculations of fuel consumption and tank capacity has me question manufacturer specs from time to time. Might be one of my faults from owning carburetor machines for several years and not adapting well to FI that don’t have a...

I had a ram mount for my phone and it worked fine. However, the phone got pretty hot from the sun and shut down to Prevent further damage. Anyone else experience this? Has protective screen and the like. I’m reluctant to use a phone mount again this summer. I like Waze for traffic...
