    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    Likewise and thanks @cutekill for the tickets. Nothing better than sitting on all kinds of bikes in the middle of winter. Also great to run into @PacoT and @STARSHIP - looking forward to some riding together this season:)

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    This year I told a buddy I would help him hit the 1600km mark on the solstice ride, so I think it will be just me and him, since it's hard to keep a consistent pace for 17hrs with more than 2 people (I tried it 4 years in a row and failed every time). He rode with me last year and he covered...

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    I'm working in Scarberia on Friday, so thought I would grab some roti from a nice shop off Kingston Rd, then hit the show for a few hours in the afternoon on my way home.

    2026 Rides

    Did a school exchange thing. I stayed there for 2 weeks and had a kid my age from up there stay at my place for 2 weeks. I learned about sniffing glue up there - never knew it was a thing until then:) That was probably the introduction to my downward spiral lol.

    2026 Rides

    Very cool Mike. I stayed up in Attawapiskat for 2 weeks a long time ago. Quite the interesting place it was. Doesn’t look like much snow up there. How cold was it?

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    Nice - hope this is a good show for you. If I can swing the time off in the summer, I want to ride the Rock. It's the last place in Canada I haven't been to that I'd like to visit. Or maybe back out to BC and spend a week riding around there in the late summer/fall. Besides that, I should...

    2026 Rides

    For real - that was probably one of the worst things I've ever come across on this forum.

    Where to get a puppy?

    You've met my dog - I never take him off leash in the neighbourhood because although he is very loyal and will stay near me, I don't trust him one bit to not take off and explore or get hit by a car. I do think he would be much better off leash if we were allowed to take him off leash from a...

    https://motocanada.com/shows/toronto/ Didn't see a post about this one yet and looking forward to going. The exhibitor list hasn't been released yet, but hoping a good selection of the manufacturer's represent. Last year I grabbed custom earplugs from Ontario Hearing Protection and they are...

    Cuba...

    I loved Cuba. And I liked the food! The people were kind and generous. Havana was really interesting. The only thing I didn’t like was my helmet which had a thick crack down the entire centre of the lid. It was so deep, I could pull the helmet apart into two. But I was wearing a tank top...

    Sounds like she's training you pretty well.

    COVID and the housing market

    I really like the condo we have next to Fort York. It's a nice building and will always be a magnet for being rented out because it's one of the older buildings in the area, but not too old. Mortgage is very little and we have a great long term tenant who in turn pays cheap rent. Maint fee is...

    KLR Hwy tires

    I’ve only ever run stock tire sizes on any of the bikes I’ve owned. A question like that I would check on the KLR forum to see what real world feedback is. I’m sure people have either asked about it there or done it. https://www.klr650.net/forums/

    KLR Hwy tires

    Metzler Marathon ME880's are very long lasting hwy tires. I rode with them on my KLR for one season. I found them a bit hard for cornering, but they were great mile munchers.

    Travel visa Aussie/New Zealand

    A cruise around New Zealand? That sounds interesting and a pretty neat trip overall. Out of all the countries I've visited, New Zealand is the only one I've ever felt I could permanently move to. Have a great trip.
