I forgot about Road Rash! I will have to see if I can find a decent version online and download it. Maybe even track down a copy of "Full Throttle" too! (now I'm showing my age!) I'm not much for modern game systems as I never kept up with them but I think my Wife bought me a copy of GP...

So for most of us, motorcycle season is officially over and there is nothing to do until spring. I know there are a few of you in the city or a few crazies who will ride here or there all through the winter, but for me and the majority it's a loooonnnnggg dry spell! So I want to know, what is...

If it were me, I'd take the FJR regardless of where I was going. If I'm going on a 25 day trip comfort is going to be paramount and a good, big-bore ST with shaft drive is as good as it gets IMO. As far as epic goes, why not head to Chicago and follow the original route 66 all the way to L.A...

I have one from Princess Auto, power fist brand if I'm not mistaken. It is rated for 500lbs and the 2" receiver on my Caravan is rated for 400lbs. I used it to carry my Sachs MadAss around to the Ride for Sight or to the shop when it needed service. It is very handy. Bought it for $120ish if...

I've got a bunch of these and other RFS patches in a drawer and one vest with the RFS crests on it too!

So basically some guy wanted to start his own club to look cool and pretend they're in an episode of SOA and found out the hard way that you cannot "pretend" to be a bad guy, you either are one or you aren't. This whole thing could have been avoided if he had simply been willing to settle for a...

You wanted the sexy exotic bike, you have to live with the sexy exotic bike problems. There's a reason I ride plain-Jane Japanese bikes!

The original W650 was a poor seller although a good used one will run you close to what it cost new due to the rareness now. I personally really liked the W650. The W800 looked great in the original green/silver with chrome and metal engine instead of blacked out. There were a few other...

I like this better than the styling on the CB650F for sure. I much prefer the looks of the new CB1100 but the price tag scares a lot of folks away from it and I think that is why they are going with the "neo-retro" styling vs the actual retro styling, it's cheaper to produce. Plastics and...

I must have emailed Kawasaki Canada a dozen times over the last bunch of years asking for this bike to come to Canada! Now they finally bring it here with the blacked out engine and flat paint? Bollocks! I wanted the original Green/silver W800 with the chrome and brushed metal, not the...

The Sachs MadAss 125 I had for a few years was pretty ugly, but I liked it! That thing got more attention when I went places on it that some of the nicest mild-custom Harleys. Everyone wanted to ask about it.

I've been on this site too long because I was wondering when this question was going to pop-up again for the 2019 show season! I probably have a different approach to gear vs most other people in that I don't really care if I get the best price possible. I bought my jacket back in 2004 and...

Now, when you say "first 16months..." are you talking with a motorcycle license? Because if that is the case your first step is to get proper quotes from insurance companies. The 900-1000cc market can be painful as far as insurance goes and may change what you're looking at. A new bike is...

There's nothing "wrong" with an 883 so long as you're honest about what it is and isn't and you're okay with that. Its a nice looking bike that will take you from point A to point B easily at all posted speed limits and will stop adequately. In it's natural environment (urban) it will most...

+1 for what JavaFan said. Those recessed lights are very dim and small and make it difficult to be seen, especially in day light. Just get the frame sliders and you'll probably be fine. In a simple tip-over scenario you probably won't even break a turn signal. If it's a bigger crash than a...

I don't mind admitting that the CB500x was in the final running just before I found my ST1300. I could have bought a new CBX for not much more than my 12yr old ST, too! Mind you I would have had to spend a fair chunk of change to farkle it out to the way I wanted it vs my ST only needing a...

It's very easy for life to get too busy to ride. A 30 min ride every now and then (especially in the GTA) may not be worth it to the seller to keep paying the insurance and up keep costs year over year. They may see the thousands of dollars tied up in the bike just sitting there and have a...

The 650 is the hands down better bike unless you have a passenger ALL the time. Even my buddy with a 1000 wishes he'd bought the 650 instead as his Wife is tiny and doesn't ride with him too often. The 650 has more than enough power to run at 120km/h all day long and pass anything with the...

I'm in the same boat as your hubby, 5'8" and a 29" inseam. I loved ADV bikes, the V-strom especially but found they were too tall for my comfort. I would especially feel uncomfortable on one if I had a passenger too. If you're looking for more comfort and 2 up capable I would suggest looking...

I won't be doing another one this year. Sometime next year I will tackle the Lower Great Lakes circle tour. Thinking in either late May or early June or late September.
