Thanks guys! @oioioi - The original plan was to make it so that the top plate bolts to the brackets but then I would have to add more pieces of wood, introduce more connections/joints which have potential to fail. My thought was, with straps holding the top plate to the bracket, there are less...

I found out my rear top case rack will be delayed and might not come by in time for an upcoming trip. I decided to make a temporary rack for a duffle bag out of 1/2" plywood. The idea was to keep it simple and lightweight. Passenger seat removed and test fit the brackets. Top plate mounts on...

I have not but when I used to commute downtown, I'd soak my shirt with water before hopping on the DVP home during 30C+ days. With the heat, the wet shirt doesn't bother me very much. It lasts for about 1.5hrs I like to have a thermometer on my bike that measures ambient air temperatures so...

In my experience, 9 out of 10 times when a car tries to get me to race from a stop light, it's a Tesla.

I only have 700km on the bike so far. Can't say much yet other than I love the way it looks and the extra power is very nice coming from a CB500X.

It's a phone app called DMD2 which requires a subscription. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet as I only started using it this season. It has offline maps, ability to load GPX files and trip details as the screenshot shows. The layout is more glove friendly than google maps.

My start point is at Stouffville Rd and Hwy 48 area. It's a pretty relaxed pace.

My Sunday trip on my new ride! Southwood Rd and passed through Bala, Rosseau and Bracebridge. Weather was great. Hit the road at 6:00am and was home for lunch.

Great reviews and photos. You talk about the offroad performance of the Desert X but what do you think of the on road performance with the stock tires?

Hope it was a good ride MacDoc. Thanks for the tips gents. I'm excited for this one.

Thanks for the advice MacDoc. I'm planning a 2 night trip. Is the wildlife really a problem at dusk and dawn? I regularly head up north at 4-5am as like to be on the road while the sunrises and although I do see a bit more wildlife, it never posed as a hazard. Can anyone recommend good...

Thanks for sharing. I will be looking at doing this trip in Sept.

Ahh.. how can I forget. I also carry a small 8oz Stanley flask for some cognac at camp! Beer takes up too much space.

Went out for a quick photoshoot on the foggy Christmas Eve!!

Excited for you! I hope to take a longer camping trip as well this year. Since my incident with leaks in the inflatable sleeping pads during my last trip, I'm reconsidering sleeping pad options but the inflatables pack up so small and are so comfortable. I found this gas stove to be super...

Thanks NuggyBuggy. The first shot was from a 85mm shot at F1.8 with 7 second exposure. Second shot is definately either a airplane or satellite.

Thanks Soulcatcher. I've finally upgraded to a full frame camera this year after shooting with cropped sensor DSLRs for over 20 years. I'm currently using a Sony A7II (much more affordable now that this model is a few years old) with a Sony 85mm F1.8 lens as my main set up. I also use a Tamron...

Good news. I'm almost a midget. Bad news, i don't have that kind of money.

Thanks. I typically do bring my DSLR on my rides. That's the main reason I got the top case.

Went out exploring the gravel roads in the Kilgorie area this past Saturday. Still lots of colours to be seen.
