I'm no Merc fan but Kimi seems like a nice kid so I hope he does well. Russell on the other hand is too smug and annoys me. Hamilton has gone from being the constant whiner at Merc to being quite likeable at Ferrari. I've always been a Ferrari fan (being one of the first pictures on my wall as a...

Ducs are easy, just roll the date back in the display and it thinks it doesn't need a service yet. You can still have the correct day/month visual if you need that, just leave it in 2023 :) KTM you can reset them yourself. BMW requires an ~$75 app that, last time I checked, was only available...

On the newer 1290 Super Adventure's you can get at everything with just a tilt of the skidplate. Of course the crash bars are directly in front of the screws to allow that though and they take twice as long to remove as the skidplate would be.

I came close to buying one of those when Blackfoot was blowing them out for peanuts after a couple years of sitting on the sales floor. Sadly the fuel range pretty much limits it to bike nights anyways (ok not that terrible but close).

War Machine was meh.

This reminds me of that one time I was replacing door speakers with aftermarket and mounted the new expensive speaker to an adaptor plate only to realize the speaker wire required a larger hole in the adaptor to get through. Being tired/lazy I figured "I'll be careful and I have enough clearance...

Took the big KTM for a quick ride to make sure no surprises and no undetected mice crawled in. Was nice to be out on two. Original fob battery was getting low so popped in a new one and updated the Garmin XT and good to go. Have a few thousand km to go before I need to decide on what to replace...

I've seen it a few times and you'd think the other seagulls would scatter when it happens but they just keep on doing what they're doing and accept that it's going to happen.

How's the stiction in the forks? Could be twisted in the triples as well. Accelerated is good, but may be a bit far. I've been to John a few times and usually wait with my bike as he's good at teaching what he's doing so I can learn something while paying for the work.

Bank mutual funds are very seldom the best choice because their management fee's are often horrendous (often in the 2-2.5% range and a mid single digit return). Most people would do better with a single balanced ETF. For example compare your MF's numbers to that of a balanced ETF like Vangards...

I usually do air filters at 30k but swapped this one early as I couldn't explain the loss in mpg. Maybe it got a bunch of Krown rust spray in there or maybe it just sucked up a lot of dirt between factory to dealer. Will check this new one at 15k. I'll take a look at the cabin filter this...

Changed the air filter on my F150 this morning as mileage has been noticeably poor. 17min drive (this direction is slightly uphill) I averaged 15.4L/100. Same drive today (slightly downhill) after the filter change was 9.8L/100. The incline/decline will affect it a bit but not that much...

Geez a wonderful Sprint followed up by a spectacular first GP. Hoping it's the start of an amazing season. Honda has found some speed which I like to see as well.

Dump runs in Nova Scotia we'd see a row of seagulls on a pile of dirt and you could watch the eagles come grab one at will. Our cat follows us around outside and if he wanders too far from us you'll see a hawk or two start circling quite low above us.

Proven track record isn't there yet nor is the dealer network. Price-wise, there's plenty of leftover KTM 790/890 Adventure discounted to the same price as that and offers better spec especially if opting for the R version. Vstrom (or Transalp) would be my choice if serious offroad chops weren't...

Research showed me the tires I wanted were Coopers (Road&Trail AT) and /i found the best price at CT. Coopers are also owned by Goodyear so I asked the local Goodyear store if they'd price match which they did. I put more faith in Goodyear changing tires (not scratching wheels) on my brand new...

Handsome looking bikes as well imo. As long as someone is challenging Bulaga each weekend I'll be happy.

Local Reservation sells Marine 91 (non-eth). I keep 6 full 5gal cans full of it at home at all times to run in everything except the cars.

Replacement carbs can usually be found on Amazon for peanuts and often arrive next day. Lots of them used by guys on the snowblower forum with perfect results. Keep the rebuilt oem one as a spare.

I don’t pay a lot of attention when selecting the premium fuel option while riding but a buddy sent me this photo yesterday from the Shell in Cobourg. 1.20 for Regular and 1.86 for Premium seems rather excessive to me. I thought maybe it was a mistake but apparently this is normal pricing for...
