Recently I was at Rider's Choice for the very 1st time with a friend on a Saturday. Rew (spelling) (store manager?) could not have been more helpful, informative, patient and accommodating. I have not purchased anything from there yet but have my eye on a few things in the near future. I spoke...

650 Shadow and power, now there is an axymoron. She also way over paid for it. She blatantly had undeveloped basic riding skills which were the root cause of her accident.

Since the OP did such a great job of promoting the SR4S, and this one specifically, I think the selling dealership should have at least offered him some commission on the sale. However, I was surprised that it took as long as it did for some one to scoop it up. Lets see: lots of positive...

I know. I was just trying to cover 2 topics in 1 short post. Being: reliability & comfort. Didn't mean to confuse. Comfort: touring & sport touring for most riders (if not all riders). I know someone who toured for 2 weeks on a cruiser VTX1800 and was comfortable using a sheepskin seat cover...

Not so in Ontario to my limited knowledge. I have owned more than 1 bike at a time. However this was true in the past in British Columbia.

++^ I know a VTX1800 with 150,000 km's and only a water pump so far (+brakes, tires, oil/flters, air filters). And it still chugs right along happily. It also depends on whether one's touring is 400 km/day or 800+ as to what may be an appropriate bike for you. I can do 800+/day on a sportbike...

Daytona makes a womens boot with a 6cm rise built into the boot. The sole still looks flat like a sportbike typical. So there is no heel to catch and twist an ankle or worse during an accident. Riders Choice has some. Daytona boots are a quality hand built boot made in Germany. In Hamilton for...

I found that I just had to ask about pricing. NewMarket Suzuki had +Venture heated vests marked $179. When I took one to the counter and asked how much they instantly said $145. So I bought one as a co-worker had asked me to get one for them. I like this show because it is less crowded than the...

Apparently you never had the Storm. Only usefulness was as a door stopper. Bad, bad device.

I have used a Torch for about a year. Quite possibly the last BB I will own. Lousy for internet. Getting tired of having to do the ol' BB battery pull to reboot. Needs more memory to say the least. It is behind the times so to speak. Just love watching that little clock spin on the screen with...

Hopefully the new bike turns out to be a good New bike for his sake.

Be mindful of the resulting change in weight distribution as it affects tongue weight & weight/balance over the trailer's axle.

Each there own. But all that extra 'stuff' to carry sure takes away some of the 'adventure' for me. I take a tire repair plug kit with co2 cartridges, sharp pocket knife, thin small led flashlight, an extra wrench/allen key that may not be in the bike's toolkit, plastic tie-wraps, industial...

Ordered on-line. Received a couple days later. No problem.

I found a HHS-2000 by Wurth. It has been replaced by HHS-K. A high temperature lube in a spray can. Is that it?

Congratulations. I saw the new whitish V-Strom 650 and it looks really good for that type of bike. Has a Beemer kinda look which is ok on it. Carbon fake parts and new seat for this year were really nice. Felt nice and light, and not top heavy when I sat on it. I can see why people like these...

~23,000 km's total betweeen 2 bikes. 1st 3,000 in Florida 2 weeks (1st week was Bike Week). No riding to work or doing errands. All weekends and evenings for pleasure :D. Years ago I once rode a return trip non-stop from Medicine Hat, Alberta (about 2 hours east of Calgary) to Toronto. Well...

Almost like blasphemy! Cars nicer than a nice bike. :rolleyes: What has your world come too?:p Must be the oncoming winter blahs that have warped your thought(s). Just joshin' ya. Now go for a quick ride. Or at least sit on your bike for a few minutes until such thoughts are bannished.

+700lbs that is not a bike! That's a hog that won't stop or climb a ramp on a good day.

Where. About 2 years ago I asked Discount rental about going into the U.S. with one of their vans and they said not possible due to insurance. Maybe he was smoking something at the time.
