Looked something like this. 1956 Harley ex-police hand banger

From your description of the areas you like to ride, your need for some comfort and some weather protection I think you should consider a used BMW R1200/1250 RT at the newest level your budget will allow. Obviously, I'm biased but I have 60 years of riding experience and regularly ride from the...

No. Definitely does not occur while braking hard. In fact the exact opposite. The HSC seems to be very sensitive such that it engaged on gentle slopes with slow speed manoeuvres. The additional problem for a person of shorter stature is that I always look to a full stop where I can get a foot...

Congratulations to Neda on a beautiful bike for many more years of riding in style! Gene you mentioned the hill start control feature. I don't know if you have it on the GS but on my RT I found that it would sometimes engage at the most unexpected or inopportune times. I've turned it off for...

Found this in my photos from 2016. It says Plevna North Frontenac

I remember a similar or perhaps longer sign somewhere east of 41 perhaps on 509 around Plevna? I haven't been out there in a couple of years now and my memory is fading to say the least.

Looking for a cooler ride home along the lake today and to my surprise found much newly paved and wide roadway.

Be sure to visit Lake on the Mountain and see the lake sitting above you and Picton Bay far below. The Glenora ferry runs frequently, about every half hour I think and it's free. Enjoy a leisurely ride to Napanee or even Kingston and back.

Highway riding with crosswinds and buffeting, in addition to the techniques already mentioned here, I try to keep my speed up as fast and as steady as I can get away with. I genuinely feel more stable. I'm sure some physicist could answer or maybe just my personal placebo?

On a hot day when your 1200GS ADV bike gets stuck, falls over on a sandy track at the bottom of a steep hill and as you're sitting on the ground trying to figure out how you're gonna get out of this mess, a pickup truck appears over the top of the hill.

If it's an R1250RT, there have been several production and delivery issues that have particularly upset US buyers who've been waiting a very long time. Canada has actually been better off although I understand there was a port strike at Montreal that might have threatened deliveries. The chip...

I was through there earlier this week and the road is still closed with a detour on a gravel road through Glen Alda

Don't you just love that keyless ride?

So much for my memory. Sorry.

Are you sure? Haven't been by there in a while but I think it might be just west of Westney Road possibly Sideline 12 a bit north of Concession 9. Next time I'm in the area I'll check just to satisfy my memory.

I've made several purchases from Europe over the years. In each case the transaction has worked well. Shipping in every case was through DHL who seem to be the company of choice from there. Items arrived in about the same time as what it would have been coming from the US. I don't remember...

I just made the connection between the person I followed on this forum as johnscruiser and the Jamie I had the pleasure of interacting with many times in daily life. I am stunned. He was one of those truly brilliant and unique people that you might come across in a lifetime. Both hardworking and...

Nice! I see you can get directions and watch Netflix at the same time.

Just to close the loop on this, I went to Maranello for service after booking well in advance and I'm a very satisfied customer. They were able to do the front brake caliper replacement recall as well as the normal 20k km service. Friendly and professional.

I had multi-focal lens replacements in both eyes about three years ago due to cataracts. I'm very pleased with the results as I no longer require glasses which to me is a great benefit for riding and helmet wearing. BUT personally, I would never have had it done if I hadn't needed cataract...
