I do have a Go Cruise throttle lock. I will add the jerry can to my kit if I take the north route as you've suggested. Longest ride I've done so far is 800km in 1 day.

Good to know about no gas on 129. Does anyone know of the frost heaves/broken pavement is still an issue? Sorry Lightcycle, I'd take you word for it but according to your blog, it might have been a decade since you've been on this highway. ;) Lightcycle, i also read your article on your SS1000...

The 2nd route is a round trip. I turn around and head back on the 401 once I reach the mid-point similar to what another member here, Morrissey did. The range on my bike comfortably would be 350km. I'd love to make this a multi day trip but unfortunately, there are things preventing me from...

I'm planning to do the SaddleSore 1600K this summer. Would like some advice on my route options. I will might be doing this solo on my CB500X. Hoping to get some advice from other riders who may have ridden these highways. The plan is to leave at 4am so that it's daylight by the time I hit...

LOL this deserves it's own thread.

I thought I read somewhere that the passenger has to be 14 years old. My son is 4. I'm sure he'd love it too.

Had one of those on my old bike. This isn't your standard SAE connector so hooking up accessories like a USB charger won't work. In case that's important to anyone.

Where's the 2018 skirts and heels?

I have one from Dainese. My lower back gets sore after 3-4 hours on the saddle. I find this helps a lot. https://fortnine.ca/en/dainese-tiger-belt

Thanks!. There are many infamous strap makers in the watch crowd that do quality work for somewhat reasonable prices. Many have already established a name for themselves. The market is very saturated which is another reason for not venturing into this business. Rick CH - Hey, watches are meant...

Happened to me before too. Always the cruisers. I don't wave to them unless they wave first. I'll wave to everything else. ATVs, Trikes, Scoots, children except E-Bikes

Thanks!. I bought the deployment buckle separately but I regularly just harvest the buckles from other straps. The other watch is a Longines Legend Diver.

Just personal use. I can't sell them because the price would be pretty absurd if I charged based on the time spent since it's all done by hand. Pics? Ok buddy, you asked for it And a knife sheath

I assume the stitching on your jacket is white. The stitching may not take the dye very well. I'd try dying the stitching first before you dive in. But yes, remove the sealer coat or the dye will just sit on top. Seal with Acrylic sealer instead of beeswax to prevent the dye from running. It's...

Concerned with legalization of weed? I smell weed on the DVP all the time during the rush hour commute. Anyone else notice?

I'd add bear spray to your kit since you don't have a car to seek refuge in. ESEE knives are very nice but also expensive. If anyone is looking, check out Ontario Knives or the Ka-Bar Becker which are similar. Here's my Ontario RD7 Came in a cheap nylon sheath so I wrapped my in leather...

I also ride a CB500X. I commute about 50km each way to work on it. It revs high at highway speeds which always makes me try to shift into 7th and tops out at around 160kmh. Other than that, I can't see how it's not a capable tourer/commuter especially for a beginner.

Yeah, isn't that what rain is for? FYI for the east enders. There's a Tandy leather on HWY 48 just north of 16th.

+1 for Resurgence jeans. I've had them for 2 seasons and they're great. The stretchy material is very comfortable. I've done many full day rides in them. Probably more comfortable than regular non stretch jeans.

I've tried a few different foam and silicone plugs. Settled on the 3M E-A-Rsoft Yellow Neons. Most comfortable by far. I prefer disposable so I don't have to jam funked up plugs back into my ear.
