Yeah - You are one step ahead of me. I bought one but never got out to the show to actually see it. I figure this is the last year for the 4 cylinder K-bike before they squeeze in a 6 so I took the plunge. I've never owned a new bike before. Hate to see the bumblebee go - Its a great bike and I...

I use Scala G4 and bluetooth to my i-phone 5. Siri allows me to listen to music and skip through my playlist or listen to Songza etc. The volume controls are on the g4 itself. Sure its not as good as earbuds but I like the control no wires and the ability to hear my bike...

I have a friend who owns a Tim Horton's and this summer all Tim Horton's will be enforcing a 10 minute loitering bylaw in their parking lots. They say they have the support of the police and who will be issuing tickets. I guess I'll be installing a coffee cup holder on my bike to take my coffee...

Basically it's the same machine sans the yellow stripes and it has an extra 100 cc's and a quick shifter. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up this year but not likely. Faster bike yes with a more cautious rider definitely yes. I now officially hate insurance companies... sorry Sonny. ps I'm...

Glad to see we are all "Still all in the game" Another year older and wiser... well at least older... Hey I'll be on something a little different this season.. Doug

I'll report back to ya... too funny

Just got the VIN number today for my new bike arriving mid-April from Germany. I've never purchased a new bike before. I can hardly wait.....I have purchased new cars before so I have to ask: Do new bikes have a new bike smell?

Hey Dave, Former Maritimer and fellow Durham rider here.. I'm in Ajax. There are some nice loops up through Port Perry and or Port Hope I do on a regular basis to blow out the work weeks cobwebs.

+13 or greater for me. I'll ride when is colder if I have to but I don't enjoy it. My bike will stay in hibernation until the warm weather arrives. It sort of like saying: How warm does the water need to be before you will go swimming? I might be possible to do a polar bear dip but I don't...

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions. Part of the fun of any trip is the pre-planning even though things tend to change once you get on the trip. Ronnie unfortunately the roads you mentioned are a bit too far south for this trip. I'm actually headed to the Maritimes to visit friends...

Thanks everyone for the advice I hope Cherohala is open by mid June.. I'm not exactly sure what motorcycle camp is though. I will have camping gear with me but I think this might be something specifically tailored to bikers. Do you have a name of one of these places?

Thanks Guys, I do plan on staying on BRP and then Skyline Dr all they way to Front Royal but for some reason Google maps stopped allowing me to drag the route off the interstate.

I plan to ride from Nashville to Hartford CT this summer as part of a longer trip. I have never been and I do want to ride the "Tail of the Dragon" and the "Blue Ridge Parkway" but I'm not sure how long to budget for this section of the trip. I have set aside 4 days so I'm wondering if that is...

Klim Badlands Pro jacket. Fully Gore-tex, waterproof jacket with great venting. No need for a waterproof liner as the jacket itself is water tight and yet breathable. 3/4 length and the kidney belt are fantastic features for touring. Had lots of gloves over the years nothing really jumps out...

Ha you're right that does seem unlikely, perhaps next year then

Looking forward to breaking into the century club this year. Currently 85k...for my 2006

Sorry Dave.. I think the saying goes "Let sleeping dogs lie" and last weekend my bike went into hibernation. See everyone in March-ish Have a good run 16 and sunny sure is tempting.. Doug

Thanks GoTourNZ.com looks great and your trip looked amazing. Thanks very much for the reply. Doug

I hoping to do New Zealand next year in November? Anyone done the south island?

I think it might be a little late in the season but next year keep an eye open to the "Still in the Game" group rides. I have been on some great rides with this group. I think equally important to finding people who ride with a similar style is to find a group that is not too large...... wait a...
