    2015 Demo Days

    Did the Endras demo today. Probably a 2 hour ride including some 401. Yes we got lunch and yes I paid the 20 or 25 bucks to go. Got the bike I wanted and I could finally decide if I wanted to spend the 30 G's on it. The event was well run and well attended also.

    After having a VFR800 for 16 years - What's Next?!

    If you want a naked bike and like Honda and don't want to spend too much, look at the Honda nc/nx 700 or 750. We have a 2012 nc700 and when wifey and I aren't on our cruisers we rip around on it. Super cheap to maintain and operate. Not trilling to ride like your others on the wish list but if...

    2015 Demo Days

    I did the H-D demo at Longley's in Peterborough yesterday. The H-D system sure is well tuned and they were really getting riders through. Short rain delay to start so we could jump in on any ride that wasn't full as turnout was slow to start. Thumbs up to the dealership to build a brand new...

    The clash of dual-sport/ADV 650 thumpers

    Funny, I was thinking about adding a used one of these to the rotation. That was until I tried to sit on them and couldn't get my short little fat legs over and sit comfortably on one. Oh well ,maybe i'll have to wait until there are some used ducati scramblers in a few years.

    Fully faired middleweight sport-tourers - the exotic class? Which is best?

    I had that exact F800 GT in the pics. I simply traded up to the k1600gtl. Loved that bike. If you compare it to the redesigned 1200rt they're very similar in size now. Very good fuel mileage,good protection from the tupperware, more that enough storage with those bags, and a real rocket if you...

    Of these three, which would you pick?

    I like the Victory brand. Don't have one in the garage yet but i'll trade around for one this summer. May I recommend going to your local dealer and take notice of how comfortable they make you feel. If the dealership is crappy when you walk in the door it won't get any better when you need...

    Where should I go?

    Don't give up on the east entirely. Maybe get to Port Hope and head north to #7 and then east. Check out Shane Kingsleys? big map and just pick out the best roads. There are some good trips in there with no border crossings and the exchange rate is really good compared to the U.S. Maybe make...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    You would think the scammers could at least come up with some variation in the message. I'm sure we've read the same thing for probably every make of bike. I had the same message for a bmw 1600 gtl. Come to think of it,i've read the same type of message for an apartment my daughter was looking...

    Motorcycle checkpoints?

    They (mto) will set up a command centre (old motorhome that doesn't look like it would pass their own inspection) along with a few cruisers (similar to OPP units) in a car pool parking lot or something similar. You will know it if you see one. Similar to a ride check. These are full enforcement...

    Motorcycle checkpoints?

    Every time you folks see the " TRUCKS ENTER INSPECTION STATION WHEN LIGHTS FLASHING" you're going by a roadside spot check.Please don't get all up my face with dangerous rigs etc . Yes there are but that's not the point i'm making. How many cagers would want to go through a full safety...

    Supershow - Jan 2-4 , is it worth attending?

    Kind of cool this year. I'm like most here,not expecting much,but the bikes and people are great. Took a buddy and his grown son who is looking for a new bike this year.It's surprising how much we've picked up over the years and reading this forum that we can pass on to a relative green-horn...

    when does every one stop riding??

    Ran from Colborne on hwy 2 out to Napanee yesterday. Temperature kept hovering around 3.5 to 7 C. Not another bike in sight though. Finally got to wash the K bike so she's ready to take a nap for a few months if it gets too cold. Great day.

    Two-lane roundabouts coming to Caledon

    We have quite a few out here in eastern Ontario now. Most tards and old farts still stop like they always did before. The two in a row in Cobourg have such a tight radius that the school buses look like the dukes of hazzard evading hot pursuit and the new one on hwy 28 can barely fit a tractor...

    Key rings?

    Motorrad always hand out key rings with rings on each end and a buckle in the middle. I use it for my honda 700 so that if the key comes out it's still tethered to the bike. Not too big to carry otherwise.
