    When your motorcycle becomes a "vehicle"

    It isn't about what you're wearing. You/we were talking about convenience. There's more to convenience than just what you feel that you need to put on to be happy. Ease of handling is convenience. Ease of being able to fit in small spaces between vehicles is convenience. Ease of taking off...

    When your motorcycle becomes a "vehicle"

    *shrug* it's not just a size/weight thing, it's a displacement thing. My V-Rod was only 1,130cc, about 120 hp, 70ish ft lbs of torque, but the minute you let out the clutch it wants to go. Compared to a smaller, lighter bike, when you're riding a V-Rod in the city, you're just constantly...

    Bikes with character...

    You might be exactly who needs to hear it. Seriously, between Studio Cycle and Carlo at Moto Motori, you're in good hands for Moto Guzzi service if you're in Toronto, especially in the west end. Buuuuuuuuut I'll admit, while some parts were already kept in stock at Studio for my V7 theft...

    Do you do a pre-flight check before every ride?

    I found the valve core inside my BMW F650GS was bent the other day. It was still working just fine, but I removed and replaced to be on the safe side. I guess I learned they can get bent?

    When your motorcycle becomes a "vehicle"

    Based on your profile pic, for short trips your bike IS inconvenient. Do you have something smaller than that 18 wheeler? It might change your perspective. Case in point, I ride my Vespa GTS 250 in flip flops and a shorts when I'm doing neighbourhood stuff. Would I ride my Harley the same way...

    When your motorcycle becomes a "vehicle"

    Thanks so much! One month out of the year my riding is all touring, but the other 11 months, it's mostly just taking the bike for daily stuff. I live in Chrawno. Bike beats everything for day to day just doin' life stuff in the core. About to go meet someone to pick up some GIVI used cases just...

    When your motorcycle becomes a "vehicle"

    I was not aware we were not supposed to be riding for errands in the first place? Guess I've been doing it wrong this whole time and never realized it.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Good tip. Like shaking it twice before you put it away. Sometimes I do similar, but not always. In this case with there being two drain plugs... meh. It's probably a good best-practice though.

    latest on the new Safety Cert Drive On program...

    "Should be" indeed. I love your optimism. I'm hoping it's optimism anyway, and not naivety... Because when I think about the government's effectiveness and their history of laziness, incompetence, and things getting tied up in bureaucracy and lost in the shuffle... I skew towards pessimism...

    Can am canyon adventure trike

    Watched my dad get cancer at 49, and pass away at 53. It taught me a lot of things. One of them was not to wait for fun. I'm with @xrljoel - I'll take a Miata. I'll even take a convertible Volkswagen Beetle over that thing.

    *leans in closely* Look at me. Look in my eyes. I want you to know how serious I am about this. DOESN'T MEAN WE WON'T POINT AND LAUGH.
