Motos like this could go a long way towards putting more bums back on the seats - https://www.advrider.com/2026-yamaha-wr125r-small-bore-dual-sport-action/

Another one I had back in the day. Lovely bike. https://raresportbikesforsale.com/1988-honda-hurricane-cbr600f/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOSeDRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEegf5-UwUhp66P9-OsgJD_WNR8rdFE78BCyTn62QYZOdoAtV3m8igdQh_sgDQ_aem_WDVfGhrFaRyvwj2bInrGoA

This was not a road test, it was the story of a road trip. There's a YouTube guy that does stuff like this on beater Gold Wings and Hayabusas, he's fun to follow too. Some people like big and fast, some people like smaller and nimble - I like other people's. ;)

Gonna try to get out tomorrow for a wee squirt.

There are plenty of entry level machines but now most of them are coming from China, India and S.E. Asia and aimed primarily at those markets. The ones that get sold here are just gravy to the bottom line. They are easy to work on, cheap(er) to insure and maintain and ARE attracting new riders...

You've been sold ABS, IMU multiple axis traction control, uplink automatic systems, diagnostic updates and programmable ECUs - all kinds of electronic gizmos and gadgets. Even things like heated seats and grips, quick shifters - all this technology comes at a cost. There is a thing called 'right...

There's business and there's sport. Hockey is a sport, but you have to buy all the gear (try outfitting a house league goalie), pay to join a league, and somewhere, somehow there's an arena to keep open. That's the business side. Play pond hockey if you like. The same rules apply for...

They've been Honda full line since the beginning I think. Very knowledgeable about lawn and garden products.

Good folks - they've been there a long time.

Markham Outdoor Power - technically out of T.O. just north of Steeles.

You forgot the brunette story ?

@adri: I love ya buddy but you've got to lighten up. RE's are built to a price, just like the new Triumph 400s and numerous other small and mid-displacement motorcycles from all over the world. What will the new BMW 450 cost and how many will they sell ? You own or have owned Vespas, Guzzis...

True enough.

It's not being adhered to.

These things happen. Waddya gonna do ?

So the City of Toronto sends out letters admitting that the water meter system they've had in place for the last 5 or so years hasn't been working properly. They've been 'estimating'. They then ask the homeowner to go get the reading off the meter and email it into them. A buddy just did that...

I love you, the cheque is in the mail, and .....

Thread hijack. I worked for one of the major Japanese companies in the early 2000s, eventually being promoted (likely past my level of competence) to P&A Sales and Marketing Manager. I came up with what I thought was a great idea, and made a big presentation to the President and his ATPs...

You said it, I didn't. Whenever I bring up the subject folks get their knickers in a knot.

@adri, you're getting cynical in your old age. This story was about a trip to the Arctic, it was not an advertorial. Point being, those two guys went north on 450cc, 40hp ADV machines, not 100hp, 650lb behemoths.
