    My States/East Coast Trip

    Wow. That was fantastic! Nice thread - great pictures. My wife and I are doing that exact trip (almost) next year 2 up on a Road King. I'll bring along the camping stuff and expected camping and hotel/motel but never considered a hostel. Not too sure about them but sounds fine from what I'm...

    Online Surveillance Bill

    The responsibility involved and what it takes to get elected - the gamble of it all - can warrant some leeway in their pension but it's characterized as platinum plated for a reason in that article. What they make in the private sector in our capitalistic society is up to them; they need to...

    Anyone interested in a ride through the Maritimes this summer 2012?

    We're doing one next year. I lived in the Gaspe area and north shore NB for about 7 years so I know the area pretty well. We're not ready this year but if there's anything I can do to help or any questions you might have I might be able to help. I know some must-see spots but you might need a...

    Very impressive looking bike and yeah - not kidding - didn't know what an SS was at all. As I said, I'm pretty so I don't have to be smart. Ok so I'm not pretty either. Is there no option for a bag of any sort on the tail? Even a small one that could be removable? Oh well - I guess your bike...

    Nice hot rod you have there. Is it taking a nap? It doesn't look tired. :P The 16 inch apes saved my shoulders. I had to get everything set up ergonomically so I have the proper mustang 4 piece seat, the correct angle and height on the apes, and everything for my wing span and in seam. I'm...

    Sure - show me yours too ok? :) That's my bike in my signature, but lets see if I can figure this out. Let me know if this works. I am putting a bit more chrome on it this year, or trading it in for a 2012 Road King...

    It's actually a touring bike disguised as a cruiser. That's why I love it but yeah, it's 800 lbs and the thought of doing a wheelie on it scares me. Now I have to go look up a super sport bike and see what it looks like. :)

    Online Surveillance Bill

    You're right - thank you for pointing that out. My numbers are a bit skewed because I was doing it from memory and I'm old and a bit forgetful, and I didn't go looking it up at 1 AM but I knew they were high to the point of being ludicrous, and I thought I remembered that number. I was wrong...

    Online Surveillance Bill

    As requested, excerpt from http://student-loan-bankruptcy.ca/: In addition, even if a student loan is more than seven years old, it is possible for the government to oppose the former student’s discharge and request that the bankrupt repay some or all of their student loan. You read that...

    Online Surveillance Bill

    You left out the part where the government reserves the right to order you to pay it anyway, with no legal recourse at their discretion. Whatever the downside, the government has put itself above the law by instituting a special case here only for them which tacks on an extra seven years that no...

    Online Surveillance Bill

    Soap box time - sorry. This bill is a threat and the rights and freedom it subverts are not a joking matter. I have signed a petition against this bill and there's more going on here than most people realize. The conservative party politics scare the hell out of me - and not for my own sake but...

    Ok - it's true I ride a Harley so I don't have to be smart 'cause I'm pretty. What's an SS? I know nothing of sport bikes and for my own personal taste the Road King and Road King Classic are the only two bikes on the planet although a Fat Boy and Heritage Classic are easy on the eyes. If I...

    I like this site. The maps can be saved and imported into my Android so I use the Google maps as a GPS with these routes saved as Google Map Routes. http://www.motowhere.com/

    My wife and I pack a picnic and do the Niagara peninsula run making sure to stop by the perch shack on the beach in Lowbanks for an ice cream. The Niagara Parkway is beautiful and has countless picnic tables right on the river. Drive past the falls and on the other side of the loop make sure to...

    Looking to get into long distance riding, need some pointers

    Hello All, I've been getting ready for spring and haven't posted in awhile but I wanted to share my tips. I ride an 09 RKC with my wife and we carry a 75 lb pack with camping gear. This is mostly ultralight stuff from MEC and works very well. A subset of our camping gear is a picnic set up...

    Motorcycle Camping

    I'm not too old - I'm in that sweet spot between older than most trees but still younger than dirt. I do however have the song from Bugs Bunny playing in my head now that I've seen your avatar. (Hello my baby - hello my hunny - hello my rag time girl...%) Well I'm not sure I like camping on the...

    Motorcycle Camping

    Hello All, My wife and I just bought a new motorcycle and luggage and camping gear from MEC. I've spent a fortune so far just planning everything out but we're getting very close to our first attempt at camping. We went with the Mutha Hubba tent, those 7 inch down filled air matresses for 188$...

    Upgrading from sport to cruiser

    That's a sexy looking bike. I've seen them on websites where people are touring across the world - places like Africa etc. I'm happy with my bike as it serves my purpose and looks very nice. I'm willing to sacrifice some technical for good looks. This is my bike with the windshield, backrest...

    Upgrading from sport to cruiser

    I'm a big boy too and new to biking and I'm starting out with a touring bike - the HD Road King Classic. It's 800 lbs and I'm very careful with it - no funny business. The reason for this bike for me is that I plan on riding with my wife, and I want to use it for long range riding, so it needs...
