    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    Yes the updated 26 Ten7 has cruise (may only be on the World Raid model but you'd have to check).

    Cheapskates Corner

    Today was Christmas lights day. My most hated day of the year only because I hate going up high on ladders and going up on our steep pitched roof. Every year after I get them up I swear I’ll pay someone to do it next year but……….cheapskate. Convinced myself that if I can do them myself again...

    Pickup Trucks

    Ordered my F150 Lariat Jan '24 and have zero regrets. My BIL liked it so much he ordered the identical truck May '25 and also loves his.

    Daily sports car?

    They had to eff up the rear end to accommodate the golfers. If it wasn't for the 2-bag minimum requirement it would look a lot better. It's also a car that looks much better in person and the rear end doesn't look nearly as bad in a walk-around. I've always loved the 72 Vert in the Rush Hour...

    Anyone sold a cemetery plot?

    Bit of a gamble. If the market goes down you could be 6ft under real quick (well someone had to make the joke).

    Donating to charities

    We do the same although I bypass the charity itself in favour of directly donating (retirement homes, hospitals, etc). I just call or attend and ask what they're in need of. Many retirement homes just have basics and some residents have families far away that rarely visit and a nice blanket...

    ADV Racing! LOL!

    Fun! I'm tempted to enter the ADV class at the Corduroy next season.

    November 11th

    Neighbour down the road is one of the guys restoring planes there. Thanks guys for the reminder as I've been meaning to head down there.

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    As Lightcycle suggested, be honest with yourself on how offroadie you're going to realistically get as there's tradeoffs. The 650XT is fairly chunky but with decent tires it'll easily do any forest service roads and doubletrack trails. Once you start venturing offroad you'll quickly realize if...

    Cheapskates Corner

    I found Olympic coverage on Prime was pretty good if you have that.

    Normal car recommendation….

    100k on our 2020 Ody and 400k on the FIL's 2016 Ody. No problems with either.

    EICMA 2025

    Honda actually showing up with some exciting stuff finally. Making this V3T a 900 instead of say a 600 is pretty big, as is making a sport-tourer with some healthy HP numbers instead of their usual 100hp numbers.

    Anyone else becoming more reclusive?

    You start caring less about what people think the older you get and in doing so I stopped spending time with many people who were negative, narcissistic, or just generally sucked the life out of the room. In doing that my circle got smaller and I was more reclusive. I've never had much social...

    Knowing Better

    I run 91 oct non-eth marine fuel in all my small engines. Anything 4cyl I top the tanks and park (will run carb dry if there's a fuel shutoff like genny and snowblower). Anything 2cyl I empty the tank and run dry. Stopped using stabil a few years back. Everything gets stored indoors. After a...

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    As someone not experienced with the commute you could also easily follow the swarm of people headed towards the trains as well. I was at a Saturday Taylor Swift concert and the ACC was let out around the same time and we were out of the Dome in well under 10 and we just followed the flood of...

    Daily sports car?

    C6 is certainly the mostly visceral and engaging of them. We enjoyed our C6 Grand Sport. An upgrade to the seats/steering wheel/stereo really goes a long way in improving creature comforts without taking away from the engaging driving experience of the car. I like the C7 as well and behind the...

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    I was really hoping for another Joe Carter moment last night in the bottom of the 9th :(

    Knowing Better

    Geez I haven't even put the lawnmower away yet (will do one more cut soon). Plenty of riding time still available. I'll call it a season when the brine goes down.

    Why Is Motorcycle Oil So Expensive?

    Given past history I wouldn't waste a call to them. I called them last year about trying to price match a pair of $750 boots and it was a 20min waste of time just to hear them say no. Saved $150 and bought elsewhere. Actually they lost two sales of those boots as my riding buddy liked mine so...

    Why Is Motorcycle Oil So Expensive?

    The 15w50 that I need isn't on sale though sadly. Same price as Amazon but that is what I bought. I'd run a non-bike oil but finding something in a 10w50 or 15w50 that I need for the SAR isn't common. I run T6 in the 300.
