Quite a few out and about with tidy tails and zipping through traffic on the QEW yesterday. Was a little jelly if I’m being honest. My age and experience had me pondering concern for those riders encountering mindless cage drivers that may change lanes unexpectedly and end up seeing a wreck...

Booking 1 night at Ontario Provincial Park. Bare minimum, no electric etc. site, taxes and fees are $55 per night. Just to put things in perspective from a cost standpoint. Not to suggest camping. But, if camping is $55 and you bring your own stuff, a hotel or motor inn is gonna cost ya...

We avoid chains and occasionally go to small owner operator places that helps take the sting out of the cost. At least makes us feel better. If the place has live music, even better. The Black Bull in Burlington, South Coast in Ridgeway, The Valley in St Catharines, Spicy Tai in St...

Work appointment Tuesday had me see the temps at 15C from the cage display and wanting to hustle back for a little romp. Temp started to drop but, took the bike out for a little run along the parkway. Find the rear shock a little jouncy and might need to search for a rebuild or replacement via...

Why is it my hoodie strings only come out at the start of a multi hour ride and the tappy tap on my helmet has absolutely no rhythm of enjoyment whatsoever!

Is it a mistake when you test the range of the low fuel light? My calculations of fuel consumption and tank capacity has me question manufacturer specs from time to time. Might be one of my faults from owning carburetor machines for several years and not adapting well to FI that don’t have a...

I had a ram mount for my phone and it worked fine. However, the phone got pretty hot from the sun and shut down to Prevent further damage. Anyone else experience this? Has protective screen and the like. I’m reluctant to use a phone mount again this summer. I like Waze for traffic...

They only cause performance enhanced anxiety! 🤪

It’s not the bike, it’s the chicken strips that bring the chicks!🐥

Same. Think we get to account for a proportion of our home utilities. Electric, gas, water etc. 1000 sq ft house and one room is our office is 10”x10” = 100 sqft or 10% of the house. Office expenses such as printer ink, paper, staples, stamps and shipping, we keep the receipts for the...

Can’t go wrong anywhere in BC really. Heading south from Jasper towards Banff on 93 is nice. If you don’t mind a little detour from Banff, take the 93 towards Radium Hot Springs and keep going to past Fairmont Springs to Lussier Hot Springs. It’s a gravel road off 93 but, it’s a natural hot...

Definitely experience a lot of time wasters with FB or Kijiji but, it’s still better than the penny saver days. I do try to connect with either seller or buyer via phone call. At least for my generation talking to a person you get a feel for them and vice versa. I had one crazy keyboard...

My road is still covered in ice/snow before getting to anything bare. Still a lot of crap I’d prefer not to run a bike over, tempting as it might be.

And an 82 CBX https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1176569973193239/? I know, unrelated to op

These have always caught my eye. However, I could never find one at a price point that was attractive enough to steer me away from a Triumph. Admittedly I’m not a new bike shopper. Looking at used, there is just more to choose from Triumph over a Kawi for this style of machine. Not...

Agree 100%. This is where I’d support a government to “invest” in infrastructure. It can be on the premise of eco friendly, moving citizens to and from major cities. Start Toronto/Montreal and expand to rest of country. Electromagnetic high speed train running from Vancouver to Halifax...

I’m making room in the garage for a Ural to get through the winter. I actually enjoy the snow but, this year we haven’t experienced mild days to give us a thaw. Maybe not in reality but, couch dreaming of something to ge through the winter blues. Back to the vacation thread!

When I picked up my old airhead, I hadn’t been insured for a motorcycle for a few years. Called NFP as they have my Spitfire insured with Hagarty and insured my bikes before. They poked around with a couple of quotes from Aviva and Economical. $1140 for aviva and 1247 for eco. This was...

Agreed. And ensure you have the loan on a fixed term as most locs default to interest only monthly payments. Even a higher interest consolidated loan with a fixed term to pay off revolving cards is positive way to reduce debt and improve credit rating. Canada is one of the most disciplined...

We rented a few chargers (petro) in my time and find them to be decent vehicles. Dodge is offering 72 months 0% financing but, the base RT is $57k plus tax. Over 500 kms range and awd. Haven’t sat in the ev version. FIL has a ram P/u with hemi and drives plush and find it works just fine...
