    What size of bike for 2 up ?

    I had an 86 Virago 1100 and that bike was very comfortable for 2up riding on the highway. My brother had a 750 Shadow that was gutless when solo on the highway, never mind 2up. My suggestion would be to get a litre bike.

    Mortgage rates

    I have to make that choice in Jan 2026. We’re on a fixed and it would be grea to if the rates continue to drop and we can renew on a lower fixed. It’s also the first time in my life being on a fixed and it was a very well timed decision! Usually we get 5yr terms but this time we got a 3 yr term...

    Single layer motorcycle jeans/ denim pants - where to buy?

    Bump. I have a pair of Revit Jeans which are fine to go on very short local trips to the grocery store or similar, but want a pair of better quality riding jeans that have better abrasion resistance and ability to upgrade the armour down the road. Might swing by Perth County Moto since I've...

    Honda nostalgia

    This one is from 2005 and it's Yellow Wolf on the Goldwing - the oldest one I can find on Youtube. There's probably older videos of him on VHS, Beta and Reel to Reel if you know where to find them.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Went on a ride a couple weeks back with guy who had some slick auxiliary lights. I’ve always wanted to get some lower driving lights and these are perfect. Just installed them today and they seem really well made. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C37CPXB3?ref_=pe_125682630_1045605200_t_fed_asin_title

    I also have Honda nostalgia. If I had the garage space, I would buy a 450 Nighthawk again and a VFR750.

    Summer Solstice 2025

    Started this ride at 5am with the dawn light just starting to come up. Looks how clean my bike is - I washed it just for this moment.
