Those early 90s ZR1 with a manual are a riot. I know if you compare them to modern machines it’s really not that special but, for me it had plenty of power to scare me enough and dumping the clutch to burn up those Goodyears could be an expensive endeavour. But, man it’s fun! Of to...

This thread makes me smile. With the threads we have on the go, we could form a band! Bikes, booze, band, and……..gotta keep it clean for the mods. Babes? Ballers! Anyways, carry on!

Truth be told, past years I’ve rarely winterized my stuff and never had an issue. Snowblower, lawnmower, motorcycle etc. I typically top everything up and splash in the appropriate ratio of stabilizer and call it a day. Fluids are changed before their scheduled time/mileage and typically...

Ok, so I’ve put the bike away for the winter. I know sometime during the winter, the conditions will be perfect for me to install the battery, crank it up and take it for a boot. It will be premature and will have to park it for a while. Now the tank is half full. Will I just leave the...

Oil filter and oil change, fuel top up and fuel stabilizer added. Cover is on and parked. Now the honey do list for the inside of the house begins. I’ve got some base boards to install from a room Reno from last year and a few more things to get started on. At least the garage is organized...

A bit of overlap between the street triple and trident but, more choice is better. I prefer the traditional round headlamp over the bug eyes and I know they are much different in ride experience. The colours and profile looks great. And if you want something more practical, there is always...

Oh oh oh, I’ll start with something completely unimpressive. I have a Ferrington electric acoustic that looks similar to a Kramer. I’ve had many guitars that are worth more but, this one was given to me as a present and will never part with it. And funny enough, it isn’t good at being...

Cork or plastic top? Not that is would make a huge difference. Can you see liquid in the bottle? Hold it up to a light and look for any sediment. Even if it’s clear, it’s likely turned. You can store the stuff for several years but, it should be horizontal, in the dark and...

I seem to be always researching and looking at all kinds of bikes. I have my preferences and watch listings, YouTube reviews and comparisons and it can be years before I obtain a given bike but, when the conditions are right, I pull the trigger pretty fast. But, I have also walked away from a...

Does RE really need a competitor to their 350 bullet?

Trip up towards Midland in the cage for work has me wanting to return with the bike. Colours are perfect.

Can’t decide on auxiliary lights. I’ve got engine guards with a place to mount them. Do I get one or a pair? Do I really need them or is it just for looks? It’s getting dark sooner and would be nice to have. Which reminds me, maybe I should upgrade the headlight…….. As I type this, my...

I do need heated grips. But, I should make sure they are compatible with a throttle lock. I’m not sure if these gloves will do the job. I better be smart and plan ahead and get those heated jobs. But, I just ordered heated grips. Well those work nicely when you didn’t expect the cold...

Doesn’t matter what bike I add to the stable, I’ve got to “make it better”. It’s near the end of the season for many of us. I know there are year rounders etc. For me, I’m doing little things to keep comfortable during cooler temps. Installed a windshield which does a great job at highway...

I was telling my wife about this old man I met on the way into the gym and said he really is in good shape for his age. My wife smiled and responded, that old guy is younger than you. 🤦‍♂️ nice reality check.

Indian is falling into the HD trap. Tweak or refresh the model line up with visual changes and bump the sticker. They have nice stuff so it works for a bit. But, they don’t have much diversity in products. You can find “entry” level machines and move up through the range but, you need to...

A little curve ball to consider would be a Triumph Street Triple 765 in the 2015 range. Likely just as rare to find a clean example vs a Duc Monster but, definitely a nice flickable, knock around the garage second machine to play with. Arguable less appealing that a Duc with the bug eyes but...

Call Tim at V-Twin in Niagara Falls. 905-356-200eight.

I’m not ready to rock the white new balance trainers and Fanny pack to complement the Corvette experience. 😆 not yet anyways! Honestly, I drove my aunt’s 92 ZR1 and found it a riot. I still keep an eye open for a clean example that won’t break the bank.

I must say that I’m always on the look out for a decent F Type or Lotus Sport Elise version with Toyota power plant and Yamaha design VVT. A modern go kart. The Lotus I would call a Daily Sport Car but, wouldn’t drive it in the winter. The Jag, I might be tempted to year round it? 🤷‍♂️
