You're in luck... you have 2 chains in there ;) One is your cam chain, the other is your counter balancer chain. The cam chain and tensioner rarely has issues. Have you ever gotten your Doo done? If you haven't, have you been making sure you loosened the nut at the bottom left side, under...

If you get your OFTR stickers, they email you quite often about all the events.

http://www.oftr.ca/events.php?id=12364 Good single track in the area, but not as fun on a bigger DS ;)

What's the make/model/year of the bike? My guess, without knowing much more, is the cam chain tensioner. I had one fail on a 2008 Ninja 250, and it was similar symptoms.

A somewhat fun ride around Barrie: Take SR 25, at the end of Mapleview West (slight left then immediate right), all the way down to Line 5. Left on Line 5, Right on Denny Dr. Left on Sideroad 5, Left on to Hwy 27. Left on to Sideroad 10, Right onto Line 5 again, another right on Sideroad 25...

Park right in the middle of the sport bikes, Luc is a hater! ;) I'd say dual *SPORT* and *POWER* cruiser belong with the sport bikes ;)

If you're doing some off-road with it, consider going with a more aggressive tire. Those look like 90%/10% street.

I can't say for sure if Kawi does it this way but Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, HD and BRP all had similar paperwork. Just read it when you get there and if it looks "wiggy", bail out.

That might be a historical thing. Nowadays, the paperwork only says "If you die, you can't sue us."

If you're coming off a 250 or 125, just watch the power on bikes you try. You might be going a lot faster than you think.

Nice! I wish I could have gone. I see you stopped at the awesome spring in Williams Tract at the 11 min mark. I've done most of the single track there on the KLR, and it's fun but very tiring on the heavy bike.

I've seen some guys take some older UJM's into the dirt, outfitted with knobs, but never a chromed out HD :) Check out the Dirt/SM/DS section on the site, you might be able to get in on a Ganaraska run with someone here. Google for "ODSC" as well, they're another DS group that plans tons of...

I can't really speak for the TO area, but just a bit north in Simcoe you'll find tons of stuff. Check out the OFTR website as well. There's some oddball laws about off-road riding around here ;)

Is the plan to park at the mortgage place beside the dairy? 29C + humidity might make a very busy parking lot tonight.

I'm good too. Just looking for a meetup place.

This looks insanely fun. My buddy and I are doing the Rallyconnex group ride in October, but we didn't think we were ready for Dacre yet. Nothing you guys did in the video looked too extreme though, but I'm sure 750km of it would be rough.

That looks a bit hard core for my KLR. Maybe a year more of skills development first.

It looks like fun. Do you see a lot of dual sport bikes there?

I'm assuming it's on tonight?

Actually, a few of us did go last night :) I had a great chat with some new guys from Innisfil. Sorry rbjeep, I think we left about 10 min before you showed up. Just some bad timing there.
