You know the main reason you like it is the color! 😆

Who are your health/fitness gurus? Saw the 60 minutes segment with Dr Peter Attia and went down a rabbit hole on some other things he’s posted. Canadian fella and seems smart.

As a father of daughters, they have been pillion with me often. They know what’s needed to protect themselves before swinging a leg over the seat. Previous post recommending a ride with the fella is a good one. I’ve seen my kids drive and that scares the heck out of me. They should know...

I’d check the strut/shock the tire was last located. The belt breaking would put the tire out of round for sure. Just wondering if it affected the suspension in some way. Pretty much every day I drive the QEW, I’ve observed a bouncy wheel from a blown strut or shock. 🤷‍♂️

This is a case of needing two bikes. Having something like this and having something else to bring the squeeze. Or have the squeeze ride her own. Mine will never ride her own but enjoys being pillion. Maybe not for a trip to the tail of the dragon or Cabot Trail but, a burger night run.

Dang! That is on my hit list! You likely did the ecu flash……….the cost of winter storage must be getting out of hand and need to get rid of it eh? Let me get back to you after scrolling through the liquor thread to prime my impulsive decision making……… ………and I was just day dreaming...

Those early 90s ZR1 with a manual are a riot. I know if you compare them to modern machines it’s really not that special but, for me it had plenty of power to scare me enough and dumping the clutch to burn up those Goodyears could be an expensive endeavour. But, man it’s fun! Of to...

This thread makes me smile. With the threads we have on the go, we could form a band! Bikes, booze, band, and……..gotta keep it clean for the mods. Babes? Ballers! Anyways, carry on!

Truth be told, past years I’ve rarely winterized my stuff and never had an issue. Snowblower, lawnmower, motorcycle etc. I typically top everything up and splash in the appropriate ratio of stabilizer and call it a day. Fluids are changed before their scheduled time/mileage and typically...

Ok, so I’ve put the bike away for the winter. I know sometime during the winter, the conditions will be perfect for me to install the battery, crank it up and take it for a boot. It will be premature and will have to park it for a while. Now the tank is half full. Will I just leave the...

Oil filter and oil change, fuel top up and fuel stabilizer added. Cover is on and parked. Now the honey do list for the inside of the house begins. I’ve got some base boards to install from a room Reno from last year and a few more things to get started on. At least the garage is organized...

A bit of overlap between the street triple and trident but, more choice is better. I prefer the traditional round headlamp over the bug eyes and I know they are much different in ride experience. The colours and profile looks great. And if you want something more practical, there is always...

Oh oh oh, I’ll start with something completely unimpressive. I have a Ferrington electric acoustic that looks similar to a Kramer. I’ve had many guitars that are worth more but, this one was given to me as a present and will never part with it. And funny enough, it isn’t good at being...

Cork or plastic top? Not that is would make a huge difference. Can you see liquid in the bottle? Hold it up to a light and look for any sediment. Even if it’s clear, it’s likely turned. You can store the stuff for several years but, it should be horizontal, in the dark and...

I seem to be always researching and looking at all kinds of bikes. I have my preferences and watch listings, YouTube reviews and comparisons and it can be years before I obtain a given bike but, when the conditions are right, I pull the trigger pretty fast. But, I have also walked away from a...

Does RE really need a competitor to their 350 bullet?

Trip up towards Midland in the cage for work has me wanting to return with the bike. Colours are perfect.

Can’t decide on auxiliary lights. I’ve got engine guards with a place to mount them. Do I get one or a pair? Do I really need them or is it just for looks? It’s getting dark sooner and would be nice to have. Which reminds me, maybe I should upgrade the headlight…….. As I type this, my...

I do need heated grips. But, I should make sure they are compatible with a throttle lock. I’m not sure if these gloves will do the job. I better be smart and plan ahead and get those heated jobs. But, I just ordered heated grips. Well those work nicely when you didn’t expect the cold...

Doesn’t matter what bike I add to the stable, I’ve got to “make it better”. It’s near the end of the season for many of us. I know there are year rounders etc. For me, I’m doing little things to keep comfortable during cooler temps. Installed a windshield which does a great job at highway...
