Sidi Armada boots - modified by cobbler to add 1/2 inch to sole Aerostich Roadcrafter pants - worn in all weather conditions, armour stays in the right place as they have completely taken my shape such that I almost expect them to walk away on their own one day LD Comfort underwear Depending...

I don't know. The service I was referring to was earlier this year at the old location. I'm getting close to the next 10,000 km service since then so I guess I'll find out soon .

After the demise of ENDRAS BMW I went to Maranello for service and had a good experience overall.

Lots of crazy stories and great memories about that bike. Saved up from various part time jobs and bought it in 1961 when I was 15 years old. At that time in Ontario there was no motorcycle licensing and you could legally ride at 15 years old. Rode it summers and most of some winters around Toronto.

Looked something like this. 1956 Harley ex-police hand banger

From your description of the areas you like to ride, your need for some comfort and some weather protection I think you should consider a used BMW R1200/1250 RT at the newest level your budget will allow. Obviously, I'm biased but I have 60 years of riding experience and regularly ride from the...

No. Definitely does not occur while braking hard. In fact the exact opposite. The HSC seems to be very sensitive such that it engaged on gentle slopes with slow speed manoeuvres. The additional problem for a person of shorter stature is that I always look to a full stop where I can get a foot...

Congratulations to Neda on a beautiful bike for many more years of riding in style! Gene you mentioned the hill start control feature. I don't know if you have it on the GS but on my RT I found that it would sometimes engage at the most unexpected or inopportune times. I've turned it off for...

Found this in my photos from 2016. It says Plevna North Frontenac

I remember a similar or perhaps longer sign somewhere east of 41 perhaps on 509 around Plevna? I haven't been out there in a couple of years now and my memory is fading to say the least.

Looking for a cooler ride home along the lake today and to my surprise found much newly paved and wide roadway.

Be sure to visit Lake on the Mountain and see the lake sitting above you and Picton Bay far below. The Glenora ferry runs frequently, about every half hour I think and it's free. Enjoy a leisurely ride to Napanee or even Kingston and back.

Highway riding with crosswinds and buffeting, in addition to the techniques already mentioned here, I try to keep my speed up as fast and as steady as I can get away with. I genuinely feel more stable. I'm sure some physicist could answer or maybe just my personal placebo?

On a hot day when your 1200GS ADV bike gets stuck, falls over on a sandy track at the bottom of a steep hill and as you're sitting on the ground trying to figure out how you're gonna get out of this mess, a pickup truck appears over the top of the hill.

If it's an R1250RT, there have been several production and delivery issues that have particularly upset US buyers who've been waiting a very long time. Canada has actually been better off although I understand there was a port strike at Montreal that might have threatened deliveries. The chip...

I was through there earlier this week and the road is still closed with a detour on a gravel road through Glen Alda

Don't you just love that keyless ride?

So much for my memory. Sorry.

Are you sure? Haven't been by there in a while but I think it might be just west of Westney Road possibly Sideline 12 a bit north of Concession 9. Next time I'm in the area I'll check just to satisfy my memory.

I've made several purchases from Europe over the years. In each case the transaction has worked well. Shipping in every case was through DHL who seem to be the company of choice from there. Items arrived in about the same time as what it would have been coming from the US. I don't remember...
