If you are going to use the whole 'buy North American' argument, then why don't you have a Blackberry? At least their profits end up in Canada.

I'll give you a few reasons why I will never buy any i product: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Apple https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/30/apple-iphone-camera-disable-remote-sensors-patent...

Unfortunately, no more riding this weekend... Camping/drinking

Took the Vstrom up to her natural environment yesterday.... rode some rail trail near Kinmount (this pic) and then explored some ATV/jeep trails near Bancroft and Apsley before running Peterson Road and Elephant Lake Road:

While far less than the 400km the OP was asking about, I was recently very impressed with the DRZ's mileage: I was on my way back from exploring the back trails in Bancroft and decided to test my range on 80kph back roads as I was carrying spare fuel. The DRZ has a 10l tank. At 190km I hit...

hahaha... I love how inreb ties this forum together... like the rug that tied the room together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vGK008c_rA

I'm still fighting with them trying to get the extra money I paid for next day shipping back... it wasn't a lot of money, but it is the principal of it; I paid for a service I did not receive. They are no longer answering my emails.... to be continued (will call on Monday).

Yeah, that is a bit pricey.... I'll just stick with my cheap Jap bikes and make them work for me.

Does anyone here know about/have intimate knowledge of CCM Motorcycles (Clews Competition Motorcycles) in particular the GP450? I hear they are being sold in Toronto now, and they sound like the unicorn of adventure bikes: 450cc, 40hp, 275lbs, 20l gas tank, 14" clearance, fuel injected, brembo...

Wouldn't matter installing car tires on these trikes, they don't lean.

Wouldn't you have to install snow tires all around for it to be legal in Quebec since they have a mandatory snow tire period?

I placed an order at GPS city, entered my details and chose 'Next Day AM' through FedEx and paid extra for that option. So here we are, a good 30 hours after ordering and the tracking information says 'Shipment information sent to FedEx'... so it hasn't even been picked up yet. I complained...

I still run a lot of gravel even on the PR4s.... I wouldn't do something silly like running the Nipissing Trail on them though. :-p

Two questions: 1) why would you buy new if you plan to beat on it? 2) if used is an option, how about a klx 250? They are decent offroad with good tires and can be had fairly cheap. Out of the bikes you listed... Honda is likely the best choice. I always wanted to try the TW200 offroad...

I was trying to think about how to be available to help out if someone needed it... as when I ride I am typically well prepared (spare fuel, mini air compressor, li-on booster pack, tools, etc), and I would have no problem going 50km out of my way to help someone out -- all part of the...

I would have helped if I had seen ya, but on a side note, it can be a bad idea to boost someone from a modern car. My buddy's wife boosted someone not long ago and ended up frying one of the on board computers which ended up costing more than $700 to replace. After hearing that (and similar...

Actually... if you stick with speaking to the Natives, they all speak English up there. I only had a problem communicating with the Quebecois.

I can only comment based on the 2013 DL650... the Glee, as I think it is called. I have a Sargent, which was pricey, but the shape is better. I still need the bead rider though to do the extremely long days. I have also tried the Corbin and Seat Concepts, but prefer the Sargent. If you can...

I've done the Chi-Cheemaun before, and will skip it this time, as I think we are going to make stops in and go for short bike rides along the park roads in Killbear and then Killarney. Here is my list of stops so far.... but we are not going to set a destination each day or an agenda. If we...

Excellent info so far. That Pukaskwa National Park looks like just what we are looking for -- and reasonably priced compared to the Provincial Parks. Thanks Shane. I'll probably book that one (if available) for the 2nd night, any recommendations of a good place to camp for the first night? I...
