    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...

    Summer Solstice 2025

    There should be space. In my experience with these rides, by the time the day of the ride comes along, we usually have only about 4 people who end up coming. The first year we had a lot, but every year after that no more than 4.

    Pretty much - just depends on the weather.

    Ok I've booked off June 19 as well for this, just in case the 20th is not great weather.

    Westport Loop second attempt

    South Lavant is my favourite road right now in the province. Especially after they repaved so much of it.

    Westport Loop second attempt

    I love Ginger and Rhubarb, so now I'm really interested.

    Westport Loop second attempt

    Thanks for the ice cream tip - will have to stop in there one of these days for a taste after riding one of the better roads in the province.

    Did you exercise today?

    New Modo yoga studio opening up in Sheridan Mall (Erin Mills) in July. Can’t wait to have a good studio just a few minutes from home. Officially started training for a 5k run in a month, after not running much for the last year. Was still able to run 5k in 30 minutes and was only expecting to...

    Lock for helmet?

    I know that all my VStrom’s just had a hard metal U shaped thing under the seat and a small extension loop to connect the helmet. All my bikes older than 20yrs had proper keyed helmet locks on them that didn’t require removing the seat, which is what I think you’re referring to. I bought that...

    LED blinker hyper flash

    Did you replace the blinker fluid first?

    Lock for helmet?

    I had no idea that they were rated so slow. Someone told me that the Givi cases I use can withstand well over 200 and not affect handling to any noticeable amount.

    Lock for helmet?

    I personally like the newer Givi V46 cases and use one of them currently. Not sure what type/model you are planning on getting, but if you decide to get a Givi mounting plate, I have an older Givi top box which you are welcome to. It actually has keyed alike E22 side cases and the set of them...

    Lock for helmet?

    That's a pretty cool idea. My current helmets have the ratchet straps instead of the old DD rings and I can get them to still work with the helmet guardian, but that would make them sit a bit lower and be much easier to manage locking up. It's worth noting that any of these helmet locks that...

    Lock for helmet?

    Congrats on the nice new lid! Since my lids are expensive to replace, I typically put it in my top box for short or long stops. That said, I've kept a helmet guardian on my bikes for the last 15 or so years. Very handy if I'm riding 2up or don't have the top box on me. \Helmet Guardian
