    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I have Tubliss on my 300 as do most of my riding buddies. Never had a failure and it works excellent. I use my KTM supplied air pump for the forks to top up the Tubliss when needed. The tubes aren’t expensive and because they’re inside a protective plastic/rubbery thing they don’t see any wear...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Rewatched Guardians of the Galaxy 2 last night and I don't think I was overly keen on it the first time but loved it this time around (loved the first one also).

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    +1 for Stoeger in Oshawa. I fell in love with the Beretta 1301 at Accuracy Plus in Peterborough but it was a bit out of my price range. Decided to call Stoeger and asked a price on it from them and ended up ordering it over the phone that day. Highly recommend Stoeger. Firearms Outlet Canada...

    Honda nostalgia

    Not to add fire to this but a very clean, never down, Africa Twin with ~15,000km was just listed for sale near Oshawa on Marketplace for $10,000 including nice additions like alum bags and nice (real) skidplate. Old guy claiming it's too heavy for him now.

    Fatality on the QEW

    I left that group long ago ( I think I was in in for maybe a week before leaving not that I do much socials anyways).

    Honda nostalgia

    I'm with Lightcycle, I tell everyone I like my KTM 300 because it tries to kill me every time I try to ride it (and have said that about my 1290 as well). Maybe on the track I'd want something to make me better than I am and saves me.

    Honda nostalgia

    My riding buddy has an AT. He likes it and says it does everything just fine but it doesn't excite him in any way and he lusts after my 1290SAR as well as others. I like the AT and having ridden it I find it capable but agree it's a good looking capable bike but exciting it's not. I had it on my...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Yeah this is likely what I'll do. Bike has tpms so it'll tell me if it starts to go south. I'll just torture it for a bit with some offroading and wear it out quicker.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    That's what was on my mind as well. I took a second reading after 12hrs and it didn't drop any. That could change when ridden though with some flex. Makes the decision that much more difficult.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Found this today. Is it a replace right away or see if it leaks? It’s tubeless. Nail is mostly through the knob and I’m not sure yet if it actually punctured through to the inside but it’s certainly close to sidewall. Nail came out easy and I couldn’t feel any air loss but I’ll give it 1/hrs...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I dig around the stump a foot or so below ground level then take a cut with the chainsaw. As long as it's a few inches below ground level is good then I cover with dirt. I'm careful to brush away any dirt before I make the cut. If it's a large diameter stump I'll often make a cut down the middle...

    He could also try raising his life insurance payout. Wife: "Sure go ahead and rent that scooter. Oh and I booked you some skydiving lessons as well"

    Country Living (septic, well water, etc.) ... who's done it?

    You run out of area with a ATV/plow after a few large snowfalls create banks. Just get a good snowblower (a $3000 Ariens will easily and quickly take care of a huge driveway). Talk to the neighbours and ask about what internet is available and if they ever run out of water (well depth and...

    Friday The 13th Port Dover

    We did the same thing the one time I went. Rented a house in Niagara arriving the Thursday, did the PD13 thing the next day, then spent the rest of the weekend doing Niagara stuff and crossed the border for a fun ride on the other side of the border. PD13 was the least memorable thing that weekend.

    For sure! I'm still tied up on the Friday so have a great ride and we'll catch up later.

    Brian Wilson RIP

    List up some channels to check out. I have Sirius and there's so much selection I don't find much my style and end up just listening to Lithium .

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    My KTM's carb is right there ready to be pulled out anytime I'd need to (and thanks to Mikuni's cheap rubber o-rings it gets pulled a bunch lately) but for some reason they made the boot connecting it to the airbox out of hard plastic so you can't separate them enough to pull the carb out. The...

    Motorcycle Safety Inspection - my experience June 2025

    I had a car certified yesterday at the Chevrolet dealer and other than the $370 cost it was painless. You can view the results on the DriveON website although other than brake rotor/pad thickness and tire pressures there isn't much else there.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Carbs should always be easy to get at. Annoys the heck out of me when they can't engineer them this way.
