    Trans-Lab 2017

    I do tend to rush, but this trip is actually a relaxed one from a daily mileage perspective, all things considered. From my pov there are too many variables to really count on enjoying camping in Labrador. The bugs, the weather, the roads, so we're going to make it happen at a pace we're...

    99,000kms too many for a DL1000 (V-Strom)?

    Kijiji listing seems to be this one: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-touring/chatham-kent/vstrom:/1249484861?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Again, I have no real issue with the mileage, but if you're really going to look at buying that bike there's a couple of things to keep in mind. 1. You'll...

    99,000kms too many for a DL1000 (V-Strom)?

    Totally agree, but we all know it's a buyer's market. And for some crazy reason, the DL1000 does not hold it's value as well as the little brother. I bought a Gen 1 DL1000, with factory luggage and many of the usual farkles, with 30,000 kms, for $3000. That was BEFORE the gen2's came out -...

    99,000kms too many for a DL1000 (V-Strom)?

    I'm a big DL fan - owned a Gen1 DL650 and a Gen1 DL1000, and had a Gen2 DL650 in the house too. I would agree - if the bike has been serviced, that mileage isn't anything to be concerned about, but the price should reflect it. There should be lots of examples of reasonably priced, well-farkled...

    What's the most exotic/distant place you've ever ridden (In Ontario/Quebec)

    I know it doesn't really count (really) but it's a fun story. I got the bike wet and then stuck, and figure that counts.

    Headlight fluid?

    Go to O'Reilly's auto parts site. Look up part # 121G

    What's the most exotic/distant place you've ever ridden (In Ontario/Quebec)

    Another vote for the James Bay road. I've done it twice, had tire trouble both times - this is a trip best done by those who are prepared for side-of-road incidents. If anything happens, you're very far away from practical help. It's amazingly remote for being so close to Toronto. Both trips...

    Well, Santa finally delivered my Redverz Atacama tent. As it turns out, it won't fit in my living room. Spring can't come soon enough.

    Big Bike Thread

    Long story short, I ran the numbers hard and did some risk analysis and found two things. One - I wasn't capitalized well enough - this business, the way I wanted to do it, was heavy on inventory. The showroom is the centrepiece, and that's expensive. Two - the decline of the Canadian dollar...

    Glad to hear you're doing well - sounds like you were super lucky! I'm thinking we may have met already - I was floating around the idea of an ADV-focussed retail shop some time ago...was that you and your buddies I had a drink with up at the Shops at Don Mills?

    I'd love to compare notes. I'm in the middle of the city and often my riding time is limited. It's tough to figure out where riding like that is...

    This is sort of making my point - as in any grouping, there are sub-groupings upon subgroupings that are hard to cross over. I'm not necessarily looking to clog up single track with my 1200, but I've ridden singletrack on it competently and quickly enough. I've got enough smarts not to get...

    Sena for me as well. Have about 100,000 touring kms using them and they've been bombproof so far

    My table and chair came in a while ago - super happy. I can't see a difference between the cheapo eBay chair and my original $100 brand name one, and the table is kind of ingenious.

    Big Bike Thread

    I hear what everyone is saying about defining what a big bike is, but I don't have a good answer. I also don't really want to be exclusionary, though I know how easy it is to fall into that hole. My R1200GS is a big bike. Is a DL650 a big bike? Yeah, I'd probably say so. What a KLR 650? Why...

    Big Bike Thread

    I thought I'd start a thread for those of us that have bigger bikes, because it feels a bit like we don't have a home. I've owned 2 V-stroms, a 650 and a 1000 and am currently 65,000 kms into a R1200GSW. Mostly, I've treated these bikes like touring bikes, but with the GS, I've started to do...
