    Southeast Ohio / WV long weekend ride

    Nice, did you just slab it to Zanesville or was there a more interesting route? Thanks for the tip on 26, looks awesome and not much out of my way at all.

    Southeast Ohio / WV long weekend ride

    I ride a V-Strom 650 but prefer paved roads. I am probably comfortable doing 250 miles a day give or take. Here is the map link https://goo.gl/maps/vwyGGf7CyfF2 Thanks!

    Southeast Ohio / WV long weekend ride

    Thinking about doing something like this on the Victoria Day long weekend. Is 3 days / 4 nights enough time from the GTA? Any recommendations for places to stay / routes to take? Includes Ohio 555 (The Triple Nickel) and PA 666

    No Motorcycles in Ontario HOV Lanes, but included in review

    Some of us have been writing to the Ontario government for the past few years to get electric motorcycles included in the EV incentive program, which include the Green Plate / HOV access. Sadly, no dice... Ontario is just anti-motorcycle I'm convinced.

    Interesting trailer

    Link wouldn't work for me but full price is $2299 so doesn't sound like that good a deal? I noticed the manufacturer actually advertises directly on Kijiji now so that's probably what you are seeing. I'm actually thinking of sucking it up and buying the Trailer-in-a-bag as I want something I...

    Used '06 V-Strom 650, common issues, things to look for?

    Monolock or Monokey? I have a used Monolock one, not using it since I bought a bigger case for my Strom and it is Monokey. It's too much of a pain to switch back and forth.

    Shipping bikes to the States

    No problem. There is another thread that has been going for a while over in Cruising/Touring, FJRGeezer posted his experience with AA in that thread. http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?194271-Motorcycle-Transport-Options&p=2368843&viewfull=1#post2368843 685 to Alaska does seem...

    Motorcycle Transport Options

    I just called to get a quote from Air Canada to ship my bike back from Vancouver to Toronto, $1200+GST does not include Dangerous Goods certificate (add another $150-200). This is a "promotional" price in effect May 1 - Sept 30, the woman told me the normal rate would be roughly double this...

    Givi hardware missing...options?

    Bolts and nuts are just standard metric thread (forget which size) I know because the ones that came with the kit were not long enough for mounting to my luggage rack. I picked up some longer ones at Home Depot. I assume you still have the brackets, those would be a little harder to replace.

    Shipping bikes to the States

    Air Canada does not fly bikes to the States. I know cause I asked last year. You might have an easier time and save $ riding the bike across the border, shipping it from there (Niagara Falls/Buffalo NY) and getting a ride home. Edit: Check out AA Motorcycle Transport. They have a drop off...

    Waterproof HD Camera's

    Interested in getting one of the Ghost S cameras discussed earlier in the thread. Is the camera waterproof while a USB power cord is connected?

    Sidecars anyone?

    This is why I find the leaning rigs so appealing, not having to relearn every time I go back to my other bike.

    Sidecars anyone?

    Urals look like a lot of fun until you realize how unreliable the ancient tech inside them is and how horrible the fuel economy is.

    Sidecars anyone?

    I'm very tempted by them as well. Probably need to drive someone else's and discover I don't like it that much to get it out of my system :) The leaning ones look cool but the guys at Old Vintage Cranks pooh pooh them. One of my motivations for wanting one for me is because most of our road...

    Moto show

    I got an Antigravity portable jump start battery pack, the XP-1 model for $165 tax in at the Radio World booth. Was just about to order one on Amazon for 185 after tax so I guess that was worth the price of admission for a couple hours of walking around gawking at bikes on a Sat aft. There were...

    Spring Motorcycle Show - FREE TICKETS!

    Hoping someone going to the show can stop by the Twisted Throttle booth to see if they have a coupon code for web orders. They gave me one at the Feb Direct Energy Centre show for 10% off but I didn't know what I wanted to order at that time. Tried calling the shop but they wouldn't tell me if...
