So I've been having a great time on the SCL500! I'm at 3000 km in two weeks. Last week I did the Ride The Highlands "Fall Loop" in Hailburton & Algonquin area. Loved it! I've never been on roads like that with a bike and had an absolute blast. Next week I'm going back to either try it...

Hey, I resemble that! :ROFLMAO:

Glad you're ok and got home safe!

Yes, the maps are updated. Thanks for the OpenStreetMap tip, will check that out!

Ok so I've been using the 396 on/off throughout the week and I do like having it available. I mainly keep the map on and use it to see street names and speed limits as I go. Also appreciate the notifications about upcoming speed changes and/or school zones. (And sometimes I just turn it off...

I discovered the GTA motorcycle riders Facebook group.

It was Riders Training Institute. Went well overall, but I was way rustier than I expected.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm going to go ahead and get the 396 wired up today, along with the 1000 km service (hit that in less than a week, woot). Figure I may as well keep trying it, for now.

Man, I'm really on the fence about getting the 396 wired for power tomorrow... part of me thinks I'd be happiest using audio-only directions from Google Maps via earbuds and not having to look at anything. Also, I'm kind of fussy about audio quality (though I realize nothing will be great on a...

XT is too big for my preference, especially with smaller Scrambler handlebars.

I thought Garmins get live traffic via Bluetooth and the Smart Link app on your phone?

Yes, it’s all updated and connected with Bluetooth to my phone. But even doing the updates was a pain, kept stalling with an error message.

I have a motorbike-related police story. Way back in the '90s, I was in my twenties and riding on a country road in the GTA. I was speeding, but not an insane amount, like 80-90 in a 60km zone. Not a race bike, just my '83 Virago 500. Suddenly this cop jumps out of the bushes and stands in...

I've used my new 396 for a couple days now. In those two days, it has: - led me to two closed roads - instructed me to turn the wrong way onto two one-way streets - told me to turn onto a "road" that was the entrance to a provincial park - mixed up the names of roads - often been way off...

I have the 40/60L one. So far I'm using it in 40L mode and really like it. Very well designed and super useful. Have used it for groceries, clothes, even vinyl records. :) Also like the look of it on my bike. Only part I'm unsure about is quality of the zippers, which is crucial, so we'll see.

Yes, through Todd at KW Honda. Great place!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I bought a SCL500 yesterday, got my M1 today, have the safety course this weekend and pick the bike up next week. Also have insurance lined up with Desjardins, thanks to this forum, much appreciated. Looking forward to getting out there next week!

Yes, the SCL is a cool looking bike! I’m also looking into a Husqvarna 401. Thanks for the insurance reference, much appreciated. It’s going well with Co-operators so far, who I also found here.

Thanks, that would be fun,

Thanks! I took one back in the 90s and enjoyed it. This will be a good refresher and hopefully get rid of any “it's been a while” jitters.
