They're going to the steeles and weston rd location. I thought that the rep said that mothership in Germany planned on separating the motorads from the car dealers for some reason. That would be a challenge for some I suppose. I personally wouldn't mind because the car staff you deal with always...

So I spoke with the Serpa folks yesterday and they called to say they're no longer a BMW motorad dealer. Apparently they have sold that division to Maranello ( sorry for spelling) BMW and are moving into the old Kahuna building early next year. They also plan to sell Ducati's from the same...

Hey caferay. You are correct sir but don't forget just how well tuned the MOCO sales staff is. Can you imagine if the japs or germans got into your head like H-D does.They use the lifestyle angle but they are there to sell motorcycles.

I think it has to do a bit with your age,as much as I hate to admit that. Buy a bike for it's intended use. I get on my wife's heritage softail and I ride like a different person. I jump on mine again and can turn into a hooligan without realizing it. My wife belongs to a HOG chapter and I go...

I took an offroad course and attended a track day this summer,and yes, i ride a beemer. Both were valuable experiences in their own way. Perhaps aside from the cost some riders just might be un-easy with how poor their skills are compared to others. But that wasn't the way the classes went...

I turned the big 5 oh this year. Traded up to a BMW K 1600. Now before you star rolling your eyes, google it or youtube it, it's a real sleeper as far as LEO's go. Wasn't too shabby at the bmw track day at mosport driver development track. But that 's the great thing about over 50, don't give a...

Hey MacDoc,from what i've read on this forum,I thought you were an old dog. What are you doing with a nurse GF? and what does your wife think about that ?

Perhaps the minister should drive himself in Ottawa or Toronto. And not from a few blocks away from Queens park either,let's say Salem road, twice every day. The minister likes to see road traffic be world class but his liberal cronies forgot to provide world class transit as an option. Visit...

We have one of the affected models,no notice yet, that just went through 1500km service. Consider that BMW issued a do not ride order for 8000 units regarding a component that has yet to fail,worldwide. Also consider BMW offered to repurchase or gave discounts or gave loaners to their...

That's funny cause when I read in another area on the site that you'd decided to head out alone I was going to mention that there might be an extra few thousand people there. Being in Port Hope/Cobourg wifey and I head out that way weeknights for cruises. also at the Timmies/Cdn tire every...

The only spot I know of is,of course,Timmy's at hwy 45 and Elgin st in Cobourg. How long are you in the area for? We're in Port Hope and we can maybe get together on a weeknight after work. Wife and I both have cruisers but can navigate the zig-zags in the area pretty good. You're close to...

I don't know you folks but it's sure great to see you getting together to ride . Isn't that what's all about anyway. Congrats on the veterans showing how to properly ride in groups. I took my beemer on my wife's Harley run yesterday,only different brand of 60+ bikes, and those cats treated me...

Hey bitzz,my cheeks hurt from laughing at the site of you guys following the fogger. Of course the driveway could only handle so much oil. So the old man had a hate on for a dirty old willow tree on the property next door. I would say we probably dumped a thousand gallons of oil around that tree...

I can remember as a teenager taking an old watering can and dipping it in the warm oil and then spreading the whole mess on the gravel driveway to keep the dust down. You young whipper-snappers didn't invent recycling, us old farts did. I bet there are a few others that have done this before...

I was pleased with Triple K out around Welland On. They also can cut in a gel pad. I just mailed the seat to them and it was back to eastern On in a week.

Further to Mladin's comments,which are correct, certain tools and tests are required to certify a vehicle. Eg headlight aiming devise. I'm also a mechanic and operate an inspection station,and believe me, you wouldn't believe the regulation and compliance issues involved with an inspection...

Made me real angry. Coming up to a red light on a 4 lane city street with wifey riding behind in proper formation/lane. Light turns green,I have a brain fart and don't get moving,and she's got a head of steam and blows by on the right. It actually scared the bejesus out of me. I was so mad that...

We use lemon Pledge for cleaning day to day. I've also good results with the Mothers clay bar system. I've used it on body panels with a glass like finish and also to get swirls out of windscreens. Works great because you use a wax as a lube for the clay bar. Note; do not drop the clay bar! if...

You seem to have done everything correctly while she did everything wrong. But after not killing you,while in the wrong, could you not have pulled over to check on her. Or if you wanted, have a chat?

Well I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say we appreciate you sharing your adventures with us at GTAM.
