    August comes early Lake Superior Loops

    Pukaskwa is a National Park, so a day pass is free. If you're into mining, the Marathon Tourist Information Centre is neat. They've got a great model of the nearby mine and it's pretty impressive to see how extensive it is. If you're into geology, the Ouimet Canyon is really neat. Pay your...

    RIP Chis Cornell

    Damn, Chris Cornell's music was significant in my life as I grew up in the 90's. 777 not lucky for him. 1997 Soundgarden breaks up. 2007 Audioslave breaks up. 2017 dead. Too soon.

    Pre-Construction Homes

    Make sure the 2 car garage is big enough for your needs. We bought a pre-construction home with a 2 car garage, but the garage isn't big enough to fit our minivan.

    What type of a motorcycle do you ride?

    Adventure 2013 Triumph Tiger 800xc 95% of bikes are too small for me, I can flatfoot anything The Triumph is very comfortable for a tall rider, fast enough and makes my daily commute along Kipling feel like I'm on smooth pavement (I almost lost teeth on the old GS500)

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I'm currently looking at the Bolt, but I won't buy a first year model of anything. So, I will probably wait until next year, assuming my pos Mazda will get me through another winter. As much as I appreciate what Tesla has done for EV's, I can't see myself owning one. They have too many...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Thank you for your insights. I'm seriously contemplating an EV in the next couple of years. I do enjoy spirited driving. Not all the time, I'm a pick your spots kind of person. I usually put sportier tires on my vehicles, so your mention of the EV only difference in mileage between regular...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    How do you find the low rolling resistance tires? Is the braking distance longer? Is it too easy to spin the tires off the line (I'm thinking with the high initial torque of the electric engine)? Is there a trade-off with safety when having to perform an emergency maneuver? I don't have any...

    Northern Ontario Campsites

    Pancake Bay is awesome. Beautiful quiet campground right on the beach. It's Lake Superior, so the water is cold but early August is the best time to go. Lake Superior park is also nearby for really good hiking.

    Would anyone be interested in a possible RTW?

    I don't know... The website states, - Mechanic and Medic will accompany us (Not necessarily qualified in these fields) WTF - everyone is paying $30K and you can't bring a qualified mechanic or medic!!!

    Quit our jobs, sold our home and everything in it, gone riding...

    Those are some mad camera skills in that Albania video. Downhill switchbacks with boulders everywhere, sheer drops to the left, no barriers to speak of, hitting the apex at speed, 'click'. I do realize that you live on a motorcycle, but I'm very impressed. The scenery is awesome. Thank you...

    Leather Glove Repair??

    Hey, please let us know how it goes. I have a similar need. I agree, it would be a shame to throw out perfectly good gauntlet gloves over a small tear in a seam. I've used love your leather on Advance off Kipling to fix the zipper on my riding jacket. They did an awesome job, but that was...
