I've gotta give it another soaking then I guess. I soaked it one whole weekend last summer and it didn't seem to do much. I thought about this. Is there any danger that heat could damage the plastic? I guess WD-40 AND heat gun would be a bad idea....

I cracked some plastic on my Multistrada a while ago, and to prevent the plastic from separating more I slapped some masking tape on it until I could figure out what to do with it. It turned out it didn't bother me - really at all - I actually saw it as a sick badge of honour - but after a year...

I just might do that! I work out in Etobicoke so maybe could drop by sometime after work. I'll DM you.

Yeah, but sad is relative. I'm lucky to have had a place for 15 years where I could do all those things, and luckier still to be able thinking about paying money to keep a few motorcycles! Since my kids have gotten older, we really don't use the place as much as we used to. My dream was to...

I could fit something like that in; my problem would be getting bikes in and out of the yard. We live in a row house where most of the backyards have been fenced off. THere's a tiny alley that I could use to get to the yard but it would be hard to wheel a bike in and out of there as I'd have...

15 years ago you could buy a nice sized house in Toronto with a garage for $1M. I tried to convince my wife to buy a place like that in the Lawrence/Leslie area for that price. Our kids would have grown up with their cousins literally around the corner, and the monster homes were already going...

If I sell my cottage, I really want a place to tinker. I live in a Victorian row house with no garage space to keep my bikes, be they project or road-/trail-worthy. My projects are not a financially viable endeavour, but a flight of fancy. Really, when you break it down motorcycles really...

Any other GTAM'ers in a similar predicament and location? Maybe we could jointly rent a space and cut our collective costs.

Where are you looking for space?

Thank you gents. Location wise I could probably make those work!

I think I'd need one where I could roll in from the outside. I agree it's not likely they're going to want me hanging a fuel jug on a pole feeding my carbs inside. Problem is I think those sorts of units are not common downtown. I think I'd be happy with $500/mo at that size and with those...

@Evoex where did you keep yours ?

Beautiful idea but 10*15 would be most of my backyard, LOL. That’s not really the problem as we don’t use the yard but I live in a Victorian row house and access to the backyard is through a couple of tiny gates. Access is the big problem I see, but I will check this Allan Millard out. I know...

I don’t see myself driving out to the country to work on my bikes for a little time here and there. The beauty of the cottage was I was there all weekend and could tinker when and as I felt like it. Even in the city I recognize a twenty minute drive is no longer the same. The alternative is...

I’m looking for experiences anyone might have renting space to work and tinker and store maybe four or five bikes in various states of repair along with tools, stands, and parts. I currently keep my bikes at a cottage which we may be selling. Our city home has only street parking. The ideal...

Thanks! I considered buying a dual sport, even just for the purposes of the trip. Did you ride the whole T'Railway when you were there?

Looks like fun, yes, but for me anyways- in moderation. If it's - say - four hours of that stuff straight - that would be exhausting. But I couldn't tell how much of that was the main railway and how much of that was a side stop. OTOH, I see reports about people doing the Railway on...

The narrowness of the trail doesn't look so bad to me, but I appreciate the personal experience. It's the rockiness of that section looks like it could be a pain, if it goes on for hours and hours - hard to tell if it's a a short stretch or not. But the video isn't so clear as to whether that...

There's a pretty detailed page here about it: Crossing NL by ATV Home including quite a few videos. I messaged the guy and he said you can do it on dirt bikes. I just booked my ferry passage yesterday. My BIL was nagging me to get this done because he says the ferry books fast. It was $170...

Have you done this trip @Lightcycle ? Any advice? BIL wants to stay in hotels so no need to camp. I have to say don’t like idea of leaving a light weight dirt bike overnight at hotels, even if I chain it up.
