    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    I love it! I had one on my DL1000 and loved it so much I bought one for the 1050. Expensive but to me well worth it! ..Tom

    I got that topcase a couple of years ago. The tank bag has only been on the 1050. ..Tom

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    I thought I would keep riding my 2015 Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 for a bit longer as it only had 235,000+ km. I really liked the changes Suzuki made to the 2020 DL1050 (cruise being a big one plus lots of other stuff.) I brought it home July 1st. It's just short of 25,000 km. (Might hit it tomorrow.)...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    I do commute daily if there isn't ice or snow on the road (or risk of) down to -18c but thus year with C19 probably did half my usual commuting km's. (Work closed, alternate shifts etc) I actually rode a lot more when we were shut down as I would go out on little day rides and end up back home...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)

    My Last ride in 2020 was Dec 31st. (Only got a bit over 49,000 km in 2020. The last few years more like 52,000 or 53,000 km.) My first ride in 2021 was Jan 1st. Unfortunately not a lot of riding since because my neck of the woods still has some icy roads. I think tomorrow should be a decent day...

    Ride Report: 2020 BC

    Great Review Shane! great pictures and nice narrative! I would have done the same trip but don't yet have a comfy seat that works on my new bike (It's coming any day now!) I was thinking of doing it in October but suspect snow may be too much of a risk so might just do a little loop up to...

    Heated Gear

    Just realize batteries have a nasty habit of going dead when you need them most. Probably okay if you are only riding to the local Timmies. ..Tom

    Heated Gear

    I ride all year round down to -18c. I do day rides at -10 with no issue. "Warm n Safe" brand heated gloves, jacket and socks combined with Aerostich Fleace pants all under my Aerostich Roadcrafter. Long ago I stopped bothering with "base layers" as they made me sweat like a pig when stopped...

    Lane filtering might become legal....

    I don't know if it is true but I seem to remember being told that Police are considered "Officers of the Court" ..Tom

    Useless fact: When a solid turns directly to vapor it is called "subliminating" I was out later in the day for a few hours when the two inches of snow we received sublimated. ..Tom

    @MacDoc Easy to make sanitize if you have 99% alcohol and aloe Vera. (Plus some lemon oil). Basically is a bit less than 30 % aloe and the rest alcohol plus a dab of lemon juice for that nice smell. I have some travel bottles (for shampoo. Conditioner, etc.) that I got from Sail. Reason I...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2019 Edition)

    I went out for a bit this aft (about 200 km.) I was watching the storms on the radar display on my gps and dodged several of them. Never got more than a little drizzle on me. There was one wicked looking storm heading my way near Lindsay. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had turned into a...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    I wish it was like a beach! There was a fair amount of sand as typical in spring. What was as bad was much of it was heavily frost heaved so very rough. I kind of expected it butts very surprised anyone else was as silly as me to ride it now. :) Btw I was on 507 a couple of weeks ago. Bottom...

    I went out for a little ride yesterday. iIt was +8 when I left home in the afternoon. Fun playing in the wind gusts! Temps dropped quickly in the last hour from +6 to -2. Cold hands when gassing up near home (should have left my gloves on!) -12 on the way in to work this morning. ..Tom
