Great summary @ Lightcycle, A good option for “hands off” investment is Questrade (Questwealth portfolio) and others offer “Robo Investors” that set up a mix of ETF Index and other ETFs based on your risk and keep the portfolio balanced. The fees vary but are considerably cheaper than the 1.7...

Sounds like a nice day, watch for the buses on the road up to the castle in Sintra as it is very narrow and twisty and the bus divers are aggressive and take both lanes in the curves. Lots of nice riding in the park and consider going to Cabo da Roca and the remote beaches in that area...

One was on display at Downtown BMW last Wednesday at their open house. Looks incredible, but the current bike is just fine. (165 HP) However, the 210 HP allows it to join the super naked club.

Last December I had little choice in which stocks to sell (Lightspeed and Shop) to do some capital loss harvesting. However, this year lots of choice with less need for me as capital gains will be significantly lower. For the retired like me, it is also a good time to to explore moving...

Too much is being made of the Twitter financing impact on the Tesla stock price. Basically a left wing media obsession to have a new bogeyman. Tesla stock has been over inflated for years and I did enjoy the way up, however its stock value at its peak was greater than the VW Group and Toyota...

A friend's son worked at a prestigious private golf course in Toronto and usually the members kids get hired over the summer at the club, but the first summer of COVID there was a real shortage of kids as many had claimed the $500 week SERB so they just plated golf instead. His son (not a...

Now that first game was as exciting as wet firecrackers. Go Canada Go!

River road is a scenic ride now. So sit back and enjoy. The intersecting 2nd line East and Prince of Whales have nice curves and fewer residents.

Like these mid-size Adventure bikes and Honda should borrow a page from Triumph and have an option of a more road focused model with 17/ 19 wheels instead of the 18/21 for quicker steering and lower for shorties like me. Still think the Transalp will have limited ground clearance with their...

Can you imagine what it would be like if we still had to sit in front of a computer to view and respond like it was in 2005 when I joined. My bike specific forum R1200R (R1250R) has really good participation for a very low volume model but has world wide participation and lots of interesting...

Oops thought you were doing your front forks. Will delete my posts.

They loop through the cast ends of the fork that hold the brake calliper. Fork tube is being heldin a workmate. Also used a vice with soft jaws to hold the tube reinstalling the springs and levelling the fluid.

Here is one on Amazon that will do the trick. This I would use in conjunction with straps or the large spring compressing tools. But this manufacturer unit would allow you to exert more force than the homemade unit. May order one to replace my home made unit...

Here is why I used with ratchet straps to compress front fork springs. Some plumbing pipe and a few bolts washes and nuts. Think this was the inspiration YouTube

Was very quiet on Friday and combined it with a run up through Pretty River and then back to Creemore for lunch. Thankfully River Road is a longer ride to get there so keeps the numbers down compared with the Forks.

Finally visited on our drive to the US Open in September. Beautiful Park and lunch and desert was excellent. Your recommendation over the years had me put it out my Google maps list. Thanks for the recommendation and BTW it was voted as the best State Park in the US in 2021.

Looks incredible Can add several more volcanic Islands to the list including St. Miguel in the Azores. Lots of direct flights from Toronto and only 6 hours away. However, not as dry as the Canaries so depending on when you visit, you can expect rain or mist and sunshine all on the same...

Nice ride in the Trent Hills and lunch in a quieter Coburg and along Lakeshore (325 kms door to door) Good colours still in the south. https://scenicapp.space/route/vUSdCTvc

With your extensive world travels and passion for motorcycles, wondering if you and your wife were ever guests of the podcast AdvRider Radio ?

It is advertorial and fully sponsored by the bike brands but the alternative is nothing Canadian. I look especially if it is showcasing a bike I am interested in. The PVR allows you to be selective. Big Rock Moto is currently my favourite YouTube review as he does an in-depth review after...
