My head hurts. LOL So, the new F800GS would therefore be using the new 900cc (I think) parallel twin with the 270-degree crank and with the output shaft on the left (normal side), as opposed to the old F800GS (which I've ridden in Australia) which had the old 360-degree crank and the funky...

The near universally recommended 2 second following distance feels too far, for anyone accustomed to Toronto traffic. Still, there's good reason for not being closer than that. I believe the Ducati Multistrada adaptive cruise control has some authority to apply brakes, but it won't decelerate...

Is the F800GS still around? I thought the F900 had replaced it, and it's a completely different engine. F800GT/F800ST/F800R have been my favourite hire bikes on overseas trips. Only F900 variant that I've sampled has been the F900XR.

2004 ZX10R that I've owned since new. Closing in on 152 000 km. Right rear turn signal stopped working. It has done this before. First time it was the connector that went bad, and defied attempts to clean up its internal contacts. I replaced the connector a while back. A couple weeks ago it...

Fork and shock maintenance. You're supposed to change the oil every couple of years. I do that when they stop working.

Hah, we had that same discussion. Bike makes 0 horsepower if it doesn't work, so the new battery adds 150 hp!

6:30 as usual. Heading out shortly.

Yes!

I went to the Hamilton one. Good location, good event without being crazy.

Southbound East Mall near Dundas, pole for the speed camera is cut down and the camera is gone.

Yeah, the iX isn't to my liking, but ... it isn't my car.

People across the street have traded in their Ioniq 5 for a BMW iX.

I'm in.

The areas where the coating has worn or corroded off will never match the areas where it hasn't come off, unless you polish the whole lot of it off, and then it won't match what's on the adjacent parts that haven't been treated ... and polished aluminium doesn't stay looking nice without...

Design changes are a headache. In the perfect world, the concept drawings get fleshed out and design frozen before detail drawings are done, and those get done before anyone cuts metal. In the real world, people change their minds late in the game, errors and oversights are inevitable and...

In fairness, he's riding internationally (not in North America) which means regular plug-in AC power is 240 volts. The capacity of the standard european Schuko plug is 16 amps. UK wall sockets are rated at 13 amps. Even if you reduce that to (let's say) 12 amps that's 2.8 kW of charging power...

No break-in needed. Giv'er. I'm in.

I'm in, assuming it dries out - looks like there is one more line of showers. (I was supposed to be on the way to Calabogie today, but postponed until tomorrow, because the weather there tomorrow looks like a writeoff, so that might as well be the travel day)

I recall hearing about Verge, but forgot about them. Looks like they've pulled it off. I'd ride that!
