How long have you had it? It always takes me a few thousand kms before I get 100% comfortable with a new bike, especially if it's a different style of motorcycle than I normally ride - sportbike to touring to adventure to dirtbike, etc. Things like where the weight lies (some bikes are more...

Are we related?!?

That's awesome to hear! Doesn't surprise me at all. Got a good vibe from them right off the bat.

Oh man, that looks really good! We had lunch in Bancroft a couple of days ago. Sad we missed this one while we were there! As for the misspelling of pierogi, I'll leave it up to @oioioi and @mimico_polak to decide how authentic that really is. Or we could start a Pole and vote on it...

Uh guys, can we NOT hijack my thread please? The topic of this whole thread is pierogis. NOT BURGERS. Don't make me bring out the banhammer.

Thanks, appreciate it. We know we're lucky. We try not to take it for granted.

Ride out mainly. It's become a bit of an annual pilgrimage. We shipped our bikes this time and we're riding back to BC later on in the season.

K1200RS, I'm going to guess late 90s, early 2000s. 1999?

Oooh... very intrigued! Does it start with a B or an N? :D

Probably happens over a long period of time. If the business is smart, they'll notice the decline and pivot in time before things get too dire. Sucks that it needs to get to that point of creating such a long list of disgruntled customers. It's also become a problem that a lot of newer machines...

Wow. Super nice of them! Very different outcome from a lot of stories I've heard about guys trying to bring their non-HD bikes to a Bar-And-Shield store.

I don't think negative reviews are going to impact GP Bikes' business. They're a juggernaut at this point. If you don't take your bike there for service, there are 10 other riders who will take your spot in line on their two-week waiting list. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure, but it is aluminum. Maybe 10ish lbs? All low, which again helps with the centre of mass. Fairly easy to remove (like 6 bolts) if you're not doing heavy duty trails and just leave the gas tank to fend for itself. Or if you want to install a thinner, lighter plastic skid plate instead...

Excellent excuse to hit Southwood 13 and stop at the Torrance Barrens! Was just there last week for the first time in a couple of decades and was pleasantly surprised to find most of it repaved. Smooth like a racetrack!!! "10 out of 10! Would ride again!" https://www.torrancebarrens.com/dark-sky

Skid plate. The KTM 890/Husky 901 platform has the gas tank mounted underneath the engine which lowers the centre of mass so the bike feels a lot lighter on the trails. Agree that it's not the prettiest design, but it's a real gamechanger to mask the weight of these porky ADVs. Newer 1290 Super...

Yeah, I know. Was just thinking the same today. But do I really want to be that petty? Just shrug and move on. Who needs the stress? Hopefully I'll live longer that way. Especially since my shiity diet and lack of exercise certainly is not helping any... Speaking of which, we're still on for...

haha, enemy of my enemy... It's basically how the liberals won the last election: "We hate Trudeau... but we hate Trump even more!!!"

We're currently riding some trails around the Ottawa area and Neda's bike's started overheating, probably due to the 40°C temps we've been riding in. We limped the bike to a motel and called the closest Husky dealership which was in Orleans just east of the city. When we told them we were from...

In Mexico, they complain about rich, arrogant Americans coming south of the border to vacation. But go further south to El Salvador and Guatemala, and they complain about (relatively) rich Mexicans tourists being arrogant and throwing their high-valued pesos around. Even within a country they...
