Tempting! $250 with taxes in a month and 24,000 annual kms over 3 years. Might need tires at the end of the lease but, can’t imagine maintenance costs too high. Brakes? Maybe from lack of use? Oil changes? There are some fluids but, suspect they are lifetime and no change required. Hand...

Suspect over $1k for the AT leaving $700 and change for the KLR. I know you can’t ride them both full time but, doesn’t seem out of line. I think I’m around $800 for a 2012 Bonnie at replacement cost of $5k. Not sure what the multi bike owners do to keep insurance costs down or, they have a...

Installed LED headlight on the Bonnie. Also want to install bar end mirrors but, the current end plugs are a bear to remove. Stripped out the allen socket on one end. Lesson learned and other side remains untouched after a small attempt indicates would have same result. Apparently they are...

Working from home and looking forward to a long weekend with this fella.

My FIL burns it along with a bunch of crap. Makes the fire hotter! 🫣

Many municipal waste stations take oil, paint cans, antifreeze etc free. Not sure about GTA locations but, Niagara takes all that stuff free.

Take a village in an African country. The issues they face is poverty and disease. Yes, there are crimes of rape and murder and other senseless acts. However, my point is they don’t seem to encounter the issues as it relates to gender, mental illness, anxiety, climate change or even...

Recall training can be developed for dogs of all ages and breeds. Find a place quiet and open space, start small and work on small separation of distance and wait time. Not all dogs respond to treats but, many respond well to them. Sometimes simple praise is reward enough or a toy like...

I lived in Tumbler many years ago for just over 2years. Everyone knows everyone and it’s a great small community. This is just sad to hear about. It’s where I got to enjoy real adventures riding and snow machining in the mountains. My heart is aching for everyone affected by this.

I’m thinking of a July trip around Balsam Lake area. Initially July 3-5. Base camp at Balsam Lake Provincial Park. Riding up Friday. Do some riding Saturday and return to camp or find a place to eat and drink before heading back to camp. Pack up Sunday and head home. I’ve got a riding...

Mail itself is pretty much dead but, there still is a market for flyers and “junk” mail as it is. After that, there is stuff that needs to be mailed/ delivered of importance but, still can be done just as other e-commerce transactions are performed. Passports for example, there is a cost to...

A tactic that may help with a puppy that doesn’t walk is using treats and positive voice commands. Keep a decent amount of treats to hold their attention and praise as they follow you. Our pup hated the cold and snow but, food has been an excellent motivator. It’s still a work in progress...

HDs are odd in ways you might not think. They chew up miles and no issues with ride quality. They do need lube in 3 places, primary, trans and engine. Not a big deal but, it’s something to be aware of maintenance wise. Drive belts are pretty good too. Unless you catch a nail or it just...

I’m not in favour of governments picking winners and losers with these incentives. Pricing will increase and the rebates end up padding manufacturer profits. I’d rather they offer rebates to home improvements specifically to upgrade electric panels and have ev outlets located near parking...

Don’t lead the OP forwards something they don’t want. The GL is a good machine and I’m sure they’ll find the right one for their budget and needs. An HD wouldn’t be bad down south. A vagabond on a HD doesn’t bat the eye air any ICE agents. 😉

My 2025 Ford has an app that notifies you of low pressure. I have to clear the notification every time it happens. And funny enough the vehicle picks up the tire monitors that are stored in the garage. Short answer is the vehicle drives just fine and I get an alert on the dash once I drive...

What a wonderful ride report with pictures! Just what I needed this cold and snowy February and look forward to spring. Thank you so much for sharing.

I kinda compare their web listings with AM Sales. I see what inventory sits and what stuff moves and sometimes they adjust their pricing as the products get stale. Any touring HD, be sure to look at 2009 or newer for improvements to their frame. 2008 and older are less desirable. If going...

I’m sure a Honda gold wing forum will have all the feedback you’ll need for your purposes. And if that is the model that ticks the boxes for you, have at her! From the friends that do high miles for long period of time, the only issue they run across is finding reputable places to get some...

My wife got me a smoke kit for Christmas and find it can enhance the right cocktail. Has the typical apple wood, cherry wood, cinnamon etc. We’ve done it to a few Old Fashioned and I’ve done it to a couple of cheap Whisky that I sip straight so adding a Smokey flavour is nice. Playing with...
