Like Nobbie states, know your audience and give them the ride they want not the ride you want. Fun for us might not be fun for them. This shouldn't be you showing that you can beat every car off the line. Have a destination, a Tim's, Cherry Beach, etc. Take a break there with a treat of some...

Commercial aircraft usually engage autopilot (FMS) minutes after takeoff and remain on it till intercepting final a few hours later (unless they really want to hand fly it). They have TCAS to give heads up on hazards heading their way. But the entire time the safety (separation) from other...

If it was running fine before and suddenly not you could have clogged a jet (crap in gas makes it way through). Stuck float will pee gas, happens once in a while, a few taps and it should right itself. If it becomes regular then yes pull and clean and reset the height. If you want to avoid a...

I have a 450 Husky and ride it both off road and swap over to SM a few times a year. Not sure about quick swap wheels? I change front caliper adapter for SM and run a smaller sprocket so also swap chains when I go street. Like GG says light SM not a DRZ type. Awesome rude fun for about an hour...

I don't think people know how bad it really is? Volunteers are great and hopefully will be used in some capacity but to open it up to everyone to go in and start cutting and clearing is dangerous and if a few trees get dropped on people or a bad accident the forest could be opened to legal...

Front wheel bearings and 3 legs fork oil change. Finished one fork leg and started on the second to find my bottle of lighter oil still unopened, errrr!!! so I got to go back in and redo the first as well.

I'm not sure the XT will cut it on the happy factor. Dual sports can be such a compromise, you think they are the swiss army knife and can do anything. They can do everything, just none of them well. You have road bikes and now you want to head for the dirt but you need to be clear what level of...

The above is great, and know how to do the bearings, plan on it being at night, in the middle of nowhere. Also a plug kit and a compressor, plugged tires without taking them off. Once you pass Denver it is either a 10 km climb or descent, over and over. Make sure your truck is ready for that...

Trans Canada gets pretty nice north of Sault Ste Marie to Wawa for a bike!

Get a cover for your bike, if they can't see it from a distance it is not as interesting. A disk lock is small to carry and makes it a little harder to just roll the bike away just make sure you take it off. I did Superior a few years ago, never felt like I was in a bad area anywhere. Have a...

FJR comfort is a little better than stock. When the temps get hot I add a bead seat to protect from monkey butt and stay cooler on long days.

1 vote for the FJR, I'm 6'2" seat in high position, touring windscreen, great protection, shaft drive, POWER, if you want to go far it is a great place to sit. We also have a new Versys 1000 STE, mellow for 1000 till you rev it, every electronic add on you can think of, very light steering...

Depends on how the lowered it, just a rear link swap and the shock will ramp up fast and not be plush as normal. Lowered and internals done then good but if they just put a stock link on then the internals are too light. Lowered usually means lighter rider as well and that is a revalve and...

There are test on youtube showing that in real heat the hot air flowing through just sucks the water out of you and sets you up to overheat. Mess is good to a point then seal up, wear a polypro shirt, pour cold water on it and zip up your jacket, repeat every hour to get through the hot stuff...

+1 for basecamp, but it takes time and effort. For multi day trips great to plan route and timing for fuel stops, food stops and scenic stops it is very helpful. But you do need to learn with trial and error, when your gps does its recalculation and cuts you through the shaded part of town you...

Nuvi units will not pair bluetooth to headsets, but your phone and google maps will. And have a ziplock bar nearby so you don't get the unit soaked in the rain,

I just keep an eye, my trips are not usually in very built up areas so the road options are not plentiful. Also I build routes in basecamp so i have an expectation of where I should be going. Just following a gps's choice of routing can put you into some odd locations. Don't miss the voice...

He is just east of Toronto, bought twice from him. Just him and yes he is doing it himself unless he has gotten bigger. Great to deal with, price is right, just don't expect fedex the next day! If you can wait a week use him, save, and support a local!!

Was in the Dragon last week and pretty sure i saw a dead guy in the lane, nobody near him but two state troopers and half a dozen people nearby. He had a head-on with another bike on the yellow line, very sad to see. Then we stopped at the dam and were blocked leaving because a medevac heli came...

Ganny is open today, May 1st, now go and enjoy.
