    Giovanni Caboto Day Lunch

    What's considered vintage? 25 years old or even older? A good lasagna is one of my favourite meals to enjoy.

    Anyone using Google Maps to plan a ride

    I liked Tyre which eventually switched over to the free version of MyRouteApp for a couple years and then the paid version, which is amazing for my needs. Google Maps is fine for simple routes, but not very good for complicated routes with many changes of direction or stops.

    That sucks, but glad that you are ok! What kind of GPS did you lose and what kind are you replacing it with?

    Cross Canada Ride Seeking Input

    I've only done this ride once, but for my experience, the wind was super strong in that area around Regina. I stayed in Moose Jaw and even noticed a considerable fuel range drop between Moose Jaw and Swift Current. I went in August and it was very cold in the morning - heated gear cranked on...

    Ride Report - 2026 Scenic Butt

    No trouble at all for the most part. I think it's 46hp and so it only has trouble keeping up on the corner exits of fast sweepers, especially those going uphill, but he's a great rider and those bikes are pretty quick. In the tighter twisty sections, his bike really shines.

    Ride Report - 2026 Scenic Butt

    I'd love to do that kind of a ride with you if you lead and we do it in BC. Maybe we can cut it down to 300 km of just dirt and end the ride with dinner in Kelowna. And if you throw in a dirt bike for me to drop ride that'd be great. Thanks:)

    Ride Report - 2026 Scenic Butt

    I've done the summer solstice ride for a number of years and a couple buddies have been with me on almost every one, but for one reason or another, they could never complete it. One year it was stinking hot, another time some random guys joined the ride with their small gas tanks and fishing...

    Wear all day riding pants

    When you say jeans, are you also including kevlar type riding jeans or just normal denim? Asking because I have a pair of Revit Kevlar jeans which are super comfortable and a little on the thinner side with just a bit of armour. I also have the Klim K Fifty 2 jeans which are more robust and...

    Window shopping again

    Yes the KLR650 will do what you're asking for with ease. Where it will under perform is going longer distances 2up or at faster speeds. But riding 2up for under an hour at max 100km/hr and it should be a pretty smooth and comfy ride. My wife and I would take mine on return trips from Toronto to...

    Battery YTX14-BS - anyone here using one?

    Sorry - there were a few people interested and it went to a good home - a 1290! I grabbed a replacement battery - this time I got the Yuasa for my bike and what a difference a new battery makes for cranking power. Can't believe I rode with my last battery so weak for years!

    Battery YTX14-BS - anyone here using one?

    Battery is still available if anyone wants it, since it's not the right size for 300EZ's bike.

    Battery YTX14-BS - anyone here using one?

    Edit: sold! I bought a battery off Amazon and they sent me the wrong one by mistake. They are sending me a refund, but won't take it back, since they don't accept return shipping on batteries. I'd rather not take a brand new battery to the HHW depot and prefer to give it to someone who can use...

    1st gen KLR 650 feedback

    Hold on a sec... are you the one person that liked the styling of the gen2 better than the gen1? Former KLR owner here: Could it annhilate speed bumps and allow me to disregard all things cast wheels couldn't? Yes Did I avoid receiving a single speeding ticket in my 3 years of ownership? Yes Is...

    Road conditions - north and eastern areas

    Sure here you go: Google Maps There's a lot of different ways to get from the Stouffville area up towards Bancroft and that just happened to be the one we chose for that ride, mostly because it's one of the fastest with decent scenery and curvy roads.
