I’m not sure how the system works but, if a picture of a given check point isn’t up to snuff, it can be rejected and the shop needs to resubmit. It’s not immediate and rejects can happen well after the fact. 🤷‍♂️.

Talking to a couple of small independent shop operators and the new government process to safety a motorcycle goes into effect January 2025. Equipment expense aside, the work involved for the tech/mechanic to follow is going to drive up costs. Will that make that “cheap” used bike less...

Mazda seems to limit space for those of a taller stature. Otherwise they can be appealing. Spending other peoples money, utility, space, safety, reliability and fuel efficiency, RAV4 hybrid. Maybe a pipe dream to find new or used at the 40k budget. Other choices comprise something. Having...

The last few weeks have been heavy work wise and once the beemer was in possession, wanted to get it certified before the new government process was in place. To trailer or ride? Weather conditions vs conference calls and working with a shop owned by a semi retired owner that can take or leave...

Friend of mind has an 2018 F type ragtop awd triple black and it’s a hoot! I didn’t miss having a manual one bit. The ONLY draw back I found was limited storage for a weekend getaway. Wife and I debating. The coupe solves this but, the wife wants a drop top. Just need more time to...

I’m not sure why any rider would default to one way to apply their brakes all the time. I’ve ridden different styles of machines over different surfaces and different conditions. Poor traction, poor weather, different surfaces, 2up etc. You need to know how to use both and when one is...

Typically they make the change after they encounter a number of issues. If there isn’t a concern, why turn away the business?

The fraud industry is forcing things to go this way. I completely understand the frustration. I work with retailers that offer financing to customers. The liability shifts to the financial institution when a customer applies with the device whereas, if they present ID at the store, any...

Got my wife hooked on Landman. Another Taylor Sheridan creation. Get the feeling it’s not a stretch for Billy-Bob on this one. It’s witty and interesting.

Honestly, drag bars and forward controls worked perfectly for me. When I upgraded to a different sporty with mid controls, I got highway pegs which helped but, I preferred having controls up front. lol. The upgrade was a Roadster with larger tank and mids but, I preferred the lay out of the...

Bernard Ave is 800 metres east of Burleigh. Both roads lead to the same beach area of Thunderbay Beach. 😉 We have our coffee/tea/adult beverage at the water from time to time.

Enjoy the honeymoon my man. I feel you and get it completely. It’s so wrong but, so right at the same time. Not that I’m looking forward to it but, I suspect there will be a post at some point of no longer being together and it’s not the bikes fault but, you’ve changed and need something...

Glad I’m getting a safety now before the shop needs to follow the new process. The shop owner said they aren’t sure if they will even do them in the new year.

Agree with you Tim. The look of a single seat or slope back seat looks best. I had 3 different seats for my red custom. A solo Le Pera bare bones that was actually very comfortable and a flame stitched drag specialties that placed me a little too far back from the forward controls. I...

I’m off Bernard Ave on Evadere Ave a couple of blocks from the beach. Stop in a a beer anytime. The fridge is stocked and the stories will be self deprecating knee slapping funny. 🍻

You gotta pay that Harley tax! Bone stock, they ride like a mid 70s Raleigh 10 speed bicycle. For $300 plus tax, you can find a decent seat from Saddlemen, Mustang or whatever. Then rear shocks and progressive front springs. Unless you go for the slammed look, then it might as well be a hard...

You only have one life to live so, gonna try and live it well. Researched out the quirks and there seems to be enough support to manage any issues I may encounter. Appreciate your comments, makes me smile. Nothing my cc can’t handle. 😉. I’m a sucker for old tech and remember some riding...

I’ve had the Spit for two summers now. I traded the Bee for a red Beetle Vert in the fall a while back. Rational was to have a back seat for the pups. Wife hated it, dog hated it and while everyone loved how it looked, it was a dogs breakfast to drive. Ran like a top but, was a tornado...

I might install it just for those nice days during the off season. But, need to look into the work involved. 😉. I just love the clean look without
