    Day trip suggestions

    I curse you Shane Kingsley. Every time I read one of your posts I have to get out my Ontario backroads mapbook and my highliter and post-it notes. We still haven't got through eastern Ontario yet on the bigmap. How do you cover so much ground? P.S. thanks from all of us.

    sportbikes to cruiser

    My wife and I both went to cruisers from sport/touring bikes. We both still use our full face helmets even though we have full windshields. Why change? We traded up at dealers to new but looking on kijiiji or trader there seems to be a number of well farkled shadows etc out there. Then again we...

    Washng your bike

    The BMW manual suggests rinsing only with cold water ,any salt, to prevent corrosion. Of course you can use their wildly priced products also,but it was surprising ,to see that in the manual.

    Afraid I"ll Hate my rental bike :-(

    Now you're talking. Happened to my wife, H-D rental in Vegas and came home and bought a softail. Swore up and down the sport cruiser was the best until she tried something else. I read on another forum that we're all going crazy this winter and that once we get out on our regular rides we'll be...

    Got the new,for me,ride out yesterday.Traded up and picked her up on the wagon last week. Maybe not the brightest thing to do but I was really weak. This was in and around Colborne and Grafton.

    Sturgis and Montana Me and my new girl go West

    Thanks,looking at your map,seems I can trust your advice. It's still going to take a while to get from hours to days though. I'm sure this season will change that situation.

    Bmw f800r

    I have the 2013 model f 800 gt. I tested the R and it's similar. I return to the dealer for service and at 1000kms cost a couple hundred and at 10000 km's the cost was around 400 dollars. I 've been told that at 20000km's it's around a grand for the big service . After that you're clear.They're...

    So long GTAM...for now

    Everyone's perspective is different I guess. My wife and I had some friends get sick and others had life changing events just dropped on them. That is exactly why we DO ride. We just can't predict when we will not be able to ride ,or for that matter,live the way we enjoy. Best of luck...

    Sturgis and Montana Me and my new girl go West

    Great job on the report. All of us learn something with each report posted. I'm showing my wife the report because she just got her new heritage softail delivered yesterday. So now there should be no reason to avoid longer trips. Thanks again

    Advice: Driving part way and then riding - what to do with vehicle?

    We've trailered to Napanee and parked at FLYING J . I believe there are quite a few in the states also. Just went to the fuel bar and asked the manager if it was ok first. Told him we'd buy some food and gas,which we did, and he said anytime. Any big truck stop would work. I have also been told...

    Your average KM per riding season.

    Last year I got 13500 km's on. No big trips,but commuted every day and took the long way home quite often. We rode every weekend.

    Motorcycle show

    Head down to the show,breaks up the winter a bit. While the "poster girls" try their best to gather interest at their booth,it seems , a little out of place at some booths. There were a lot of women at the show. I can't see why an insurance company would have cheesecake handing out propaganda...

    To sellers of Bikes

    I used to do 1/4 page ads in heavy equipment Trader every week and it worked great until Trader pushed online vs magazine. Electronic ads are way more difficult for all the reasons above. We make the ad clear and full of info that you know they will ask,just think of what you would want to know...

    Trailer heads-up

    It's funny how after a few good winters we forget about how severe winter can get. Only slowly or by accident do get that ah-ha moment that takes us back. I posted the reminder for the members here so they would go out and have a look at their trailer. We see far more damage by ice when the unit...

    Viva Las Vegas

    We missed DV due to the rain and regret not going there first. A dual sport there would be something you'd never forget. We did see a lot of cool car rentals around LV, some exotics and quite a few mustangs , but really had to watch out for them because some of them were clearly driving more...
