    So are all the demo rides going to be scrapped this year? (but mostly BMW cluster discussion)

    If you want to take a H-D out, just contact the dealer. No more demo truck like the old days. I always go to GP bikes for demo's, usually a big selection. I'm sure the factories have found some way to blame Covid for not doing it this summer though. Like everything now,if you're lazy and don't...

    BMW Service/Warranty Options For Former Endras Customers

    I bought my 1250 GS at downtown BMW. Last winter the service dept were doing a milk run in eastern On and stopped in to pick it up and then retuned it after a service. I'd call downtown and try to arrange something considering riding season has ground down. Maybe even call the sales guys as a...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    I' ve already got the streetglide up on the jack and the DR 650 ready for winter. I've been out at least once a month for the last 5 or so years. You need the right bike to do this though. Some winter months are cut quite close , but you need to take the day when it happens and the proper road...

    Endras Motorrad Out of Business

    I've bought a few new bikes there, they were always good to deal with. I thought they were always busy enough. But it does boil down to people. You lose someone like Owen and where can you steal away somebody else from, the field isn't that large.. Thanks Endras, nice to see you appreciated all...

    Finding Washrooms when riding (covid)

    We rode up through Parry Sound to Haliburton area yesterday. You take your chances at Timmies/ gas stations. No consistent practices , even with big chains, that you can count on . We did notice and even stop at one of the Canals parking area where they have the liftlock. They at least have...

    I bought one 5 years ago called the cycle pump.Made for ADV's when changing between off/on road. Has clips for battery with a fuse or plugs into a socket. Very powerful and small but probably expensive now with our exchange rate.

    Apr 25th riders voted with their wheels...time to ride.

    We could barely steer our bikes north of Coboug / Campbellford / Trenton today due to all the waving going on. All riders were behaving respectfully.

All those inspection stations on the 400 series of highways and army of roaming enforcement officers equipped like military commando's. Ontario has the highest enforcement rate in North America...

    Selling bike to a dealer

    We sold one of our bikes to GP in Whitby. Jerry the owner gave us a cheque after he did the title search ,maybe one hour at most. Price was fair considering the ease of transaction. He already appraised it as part of a trade in deal with another dealer that never happened. They earned our...

    Oakville to Picton Cruise - Suggestions?

    O.P.P. carded me last year so we're not going back. FYI I'm a 52 year old white bread male riding a $30,000 new BMW. Maybe just doing their job but I'm still hot about that. And no,I wasn't doing anything that would make you look.

    The Rise in Popularity of the CanAm Spyders?!

    I still ride big bikes but: I demo'd one at Mosport driver development track this spring. It was fun but I was still thinking bike in my head. I felt like I was going to fall off at high speed. I actually imagined myself as a cartoon character with my hands on the bars and the rest of my body...

    Colorado Motorcycle Expo turns violent: 1 killed, 7 injured

    I wish these knobs would just lay low for once. As a bike owner and gun rights supporter living with a new liberal government in Ottawa,I'm watching my vises slowly slipping away. Why do we always have to defend or make excuses for our favorite hobbies.
