Interesting conversation. I have been a victim of mental hesitation often enough to realize that I am not the kind of rider who appreciates roaming randomly. I have understood my emotions and mental state before I go out for a ride, and there is a drastic difference in my enthusiasm for a ride...

Congratulations on the new bike @voyageur ! She's a beauty..

RIP

True. Not to forget signing bonuses!

Do they need to match? Each time I went to Ladakh, I used a different tyre for the back vs front. Hmm..

With a bit of effort and strategy, to determine which card to use for what purchase, and paying the bill off in full each month, it is always better, financially and otherwise, to pay for a transaction with a credit card vs. cash. E.g. For each Tim's transaction, if you were to use an Amex...

In addition to what others have mentioned: I use the rear brake more than the front in slippery conditions. This is the inverse of what I do, in dry conditions. And of course, it goes without saying - progressive braking, more delicately in wet conditions. Another thing to watch out for is...

This should be exciting!

Finally back home. Rain was a close companion these 2 days. Plus, got ticketed for speeding in quebec 😕 I got excited as soon as the rain stopped on the 101 South going towards Temiskaming from Laniel. My first (hopefully last) in Canada But I enjoy riding, regardless. I enjoyed this ride as...
