    Drive w/ Handheld Device

    When I was moto teaching and we had the annual recert for instructors, we had a guest speaker come in and it was the public facing OPP officer Kerry Schmidt to just talk and answer our questions. He was asked by us about distracted driving laws and specifically said that if the device was...

    Sorry to hear that and hope you feel better soon - lot's of riding left in the season and look forward to another one. Was looking forward to seeing your new ride... Hope it's just the battery and nothing else!

    Summer Solstice 2025

    Looks like the weather forecast is holding pretty good, so let's plan to do this Friday. First post updated with 2 pick-up spots along the way and the GPX file. I'll do up Google Maps version later too. Who's in for sure? @orai85 @PacoT @jdmsteR @relict @kurtrules @STARSHIP @PrivatePilot...

    2025 Day Trips!

    The Nelson Rigg tail bag I have on my bike is pretty deep and swallowed it all. I brought a thick polar fleece blanket to wrap the forks in and then bungee corded them tight together and into the tail bag. Then put the shock nicely bubble wrapped in the same bag and strapped it down very snug...

    2025 Day Trips!

    No bumps at all - repaved a year or two ago. And sand free except for one tiny bit that will be washed away in the next rain. It was amazing.

    2025 Day Trips!

    Was lucky enough to get out for a couple nice rides this past week (but not many pics). On Sunday went up for lunch to Haliburton with a couple guys riding Z1000's. Always wanted to own one of those early models. Started late for me (around 7:30am) and just wanted to get out and wear away the...

    2025 Day Trips!

    Very nice! Did you ride on Harburn Rd then either to or from Fort Irwin? Last year they were repaving a big section of it and I haven't been on it this year - one of my favourite combos is Harburn Rd to Haliburton Lake Rd.

    Aching Shoulders

    Yeah no risers and no cable adjustments needed. I really liked how much better the bike handled with them. I'm always thinking about doing the same thing to my current bike too. Here's a pic of my bike the day I bought it: And here's the same bike a 6 months later with the Pro Taper bars...

    Aching Shoulders

    Do you have the stock bars on your bike? On my Strom I swapped over to the ProTaper ATV bars and it made my arms and upper body much more comfortable, Similar to the risers, it allowed a natural bend at the elbows which is so much less fatiguing in the shoulders. Both my FZ1’s have risers in...

    Insurance question - income replacement

    I pay for the full Monty. In 2006, I was off work for a year when hit head on and was getting the $400/week. I had a bunch of money saved so I was fine, and back then cost of living was much cheaper. Ever since that experience I’ll buy the extra coverage for income loss and caregiver supports...

    Solo trip from Toronto

    If you can only do up to 400km each day and have 5 days max, then I would suggest that you stick to PA. You’ll get more backroads riding in and less interstate needed to get to and from your destinations. If you can either double your daily distance or increase your trip length, then I would...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I think they are generally hideous to start with, so as they fade they might look better?

    Gear indicator

    I never understood gear indicators on street bikes that aren’t super aggressively ridden. What am I missing?

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    The last few tires I've bought (Michelin Road 6) were from Revco and they were at my door in 48 hrs. And I always have a spare set of tires that have at least 50% tread in the garage, so if there ever was a delay, I'm still good for a while. Easy to do with one type of bike and size of tires...

    what r u paying for weed these days ?

    Couple things to add here: I won't grow in the ground anymore, because I want smaller plants that require less time & effort to trim and as Mike mentioned, I also want my plants to be able to be moved around if guests come over, or for other reasons. I'm looking for around 1/4lb per plant...
