Agreed, I went to that show quite often and the reason I would go to any bike meetup is to see older/obscure bikes. I don't go to many bike meetups as frankly I'd rather be riding instead of standing around. I'll ride with a small handful of people and don't do group rides.

Just north of Campbellford.

What a beautiful day. I got in ~300km on the big bike and also rode both the 300 and 50 dirtbikes as well as the new mountainbike. Tushy hurts today.

KEXP has done a lot to help many previously unknown artists and has some amazing sessions. The Lumineers did a wonderful set before they made it big ("Ain't Nobody's Problem But My Own" and "Boots Of Spanish Leather" covers as well as "Submarines" are excellent examples).

Tomorrow afternoon is looking like riding weather so I prepped both bikes for a ride. Also put the summer tires back on one of the cars and did a front brake job on it at the same time. Note - I did NOT put the snowblower away as doing that plus installing summer tires would surely trigger a...

What's it getting replaced with?

Remember when everyone said Martin's gamble to move to Aprilia was a huge mistake and he'll regret the decision?

I would recommend using some rubber flooring (horse stall mats from Co-Op or others work well) instead of the foam mats. Foam just doesn't hold up well and it's not as nice to walk on while exercising (it's always a bit squishy and just meh).

I feel like if I needed something to do to stay "useful" I could be that worker at HD that strolls around giving advice on what to buy and how to install it. In the same way I'd work the parts counter at a bike shop but I also don't have much of a filter so I'd probably get fired within a month.

Turbo cars are harder on plugs. The DISI 2.3T in my old CX-7 would eat a NGK Iridium within 100k. The ones in our Odyssey with it's NA motor have a recommended change interval of 160k per Honda and owners say even at that mileage they often come out looking great. I run a NGK Iridium in my 300XC...

Just an fyi to check with your insurance as they'll roll you back to "new rider/first bike" rates if you go for a certain time without having continual bike insurance (IIRC mine was ~3 months).

I put 45,000km on my 2016 Multistrada 1200S and my maintenance costs over that distance/time was $800 (the desmo/belt/filter service at 32,000km which was done at Kens). Nothing broke, always dependable, friggin loved that bike and still wish I had one (character, overall finishings, and the...

The AT is huge (neighbour has one), doubt it's what you want but sit on one and see. My buddy has the Transalp and it feels like a mountainbike in comparison to the AT (and my SAR). Hard to find a Transalp for a good price though as they're quite coveted. VFR has you stuck riding the same old...

Agreed, I enjoy how the movie followed the style of the TV show with music an important part of the story telling. I've seen the movie around 6 times now and due for a 7th.

I didn't know he was as old as he was. RIP

My vote goes to a Vstrom 650XT with some tires capable of exploring some fire roads.

Sounds like my local Honda dealer who lets the oil filter on the Odyssey drain into the front cradle (hollow) when doing an oil change. Oil covered van bottom and oil drips on a new garage floor. I change my own oil now.

Another option is raising tire pressure a bit more than your door jam sticker states. Just keep it under the tires max pressure and measure both hot and cold. Do a chalk test when you pick a pressure. I run 38psi whereas my sticker calls for 35. Well within the max tire pressure.

Will likely improve mpg a smig as well.
