Rode to Panama and back this past spring. Passed through and stayed in all three of those countries. No problems whatsoever. The border crossings are an exercise in patience if you don't speak Spanish. El Salvador was one of the easiest, most pleasant border crossings. The border agent was...

jc100 is spot on, Nicaragua is dirt cheap, but riding through road blocks due to the impending revolution I could have done without, but it makes for a more interesting trip I guess.

Did a "Canada Saddlesore 1000" by accident last summer coming home from the Madeline Islands. IB member 69126. I had booked an 8pm ferry from the Madelines to PEI, tried to get on the 8am ferry as I wasn't looking forward to riding at night after the 8pm ferry ride. The morning ferry was full...

I've been with them a few years, they use Wawanesa for bikes. They were covering an 04 ZX10R for me (late 40's) for 800 bucks.

Would love to, I'll pm you.

CF looks good, off topic question, how does your bead seat cover work for you? Been looking for something to improve my butt comfort on long rides.

16-18 hours total from Toronto to James Bay via Quebec and Voila you're at the southernmost point of ... the Arctic Ocean!!

Sharp looking bike, my brother-in-law just picked up a CTX with the same, albeit de-tuned version of that engine and loves it. Wondering what your IBA SS1000 route was and when did you submit your info. for approval? I'm waiting for my approval as well, its been a month since I submitted my...

Hey black_CG2 the obvious challenge I see that no one else mentioned (I don't think) is your availability. Contractors typically work Mon-Fri 8-5 and only on weekends if they really have to. City doesn't let you work on Sundays. Good luck with your search.

Re: Down Under on a KLR 650 Snakeneck Darter, looks a lot like an Anhinga, Florida bird, among other places I'm sure. Nicknamed "snake bird" because when in the water the body is completely submerged and all you see is the snake-like neck. Managed a grainy shot of one with a fish impaled on...

Highly recommend the James Bay Road to Radison and Chisasibi. There's nothing technically special about the road, other than the fact that you are in the middle of nowhere. Not patrolled by the local constabulary on a regular basis so if you feel the need for speed... mind the frost heaves! if...

Desmo's The Desmo Pump Downstairs Desmo's Taglioni's FT's The Doctors Office etc.

Just got back from the Picton area where I stopped in at Barley Days Brewery, I had a "one and done" Hot Rod Ale, it's brewed with 80lbs of smoked beef brisket courtesy of a local restaurant. It smelled just like a Hot Rod, that ubiquitous vacuum sealed, long pencil of smoked greasy meat...

Alumaweld? on Toy Rd. in ... Pickering. Willy does a lot of mc work including frames. He did a top notch job on my motor this year.

I rode north on the 507 between 11:15 and 11:45 on Saturday morning and was passing the carnage just as the ambulance was pulling up. White bike far down in the northbound ditch, seemed to be a lot of debris on the road from the incident. Looked like around 7 or so bikes already pulled over, as...

Waupoos is a great spot, (there are many in the County) just a bit further south, and up a short gravel road is the County Cider Company. They make great cider, wood fired pizzas and other lunchables, overlooking vineyards, Waupoos Island and SouthBay. One of the best views in the province IMO...

Defenitely a good idea to have drawings done/stamped by an engineer, you need them for a permit anyways. Sometimes you can hide a supporting beam in the main floor ceiling of a two story home, as long as the bearing points, plumbing, electrical and mechanical allow for it. In an unfinished...

Bike is sold

Thanks again guys for the info. RP171 I had no idea those are considered V shaped is there a noticeable difference? Tomcat Having taken my daily rider to the track, I'm versed in the, "track it at your own risk" scenario, I was leaning more to not insuring it at all and just using it as a...

What do you mean by triangulated tires? The adjustable clamps will allow Rake (and therefore) trail increases I'm assuming? That's pretty cool. I Probably won't be pushing the bike that hard, but good to know. Thanks
