    CVMG Rally Burford

    It was a good event and a nice venue, and yeah they really need to sort the parking and use more of the fair grounds. Perhaps the parking could be done through the first entrance to the site. It seemed busier than recent years on Saturday, so perhaps the change in venue brought more people...

    CVMG Rally Burford

    I sometimes have that problem as well. In the case of the CVMG rally, she now remembers to ask me first about "that Saturday in June", and to make plans accordingly.

    CVMG Rally Burford

    I'm looking forward to it. I've gone since it was at the Welland MC site. It's always been a nice ride, though sprawl has made it less so over the years. Paris was a great location, and I'm sure Burford will be too.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Hopefully it stranded you before doing damage to the hub.

    Ear buds

    Evoex suggested some earplug/earphone things that I bought and used before I had the Cardo set up. I still use the headphones when I'm cutting the grass wearing muffs. They work well, stay in the ear inside the helmet, and stay comfy for quite a while. The 2 plugs are wired together. Looking at...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I'd think the purchaser would be best off swapping out the engine for a BMW to solve that issue, unless there's chassis parts that are hard to substitute.

    Meditative riding, preferences and hondas

    Virtually any or most modern motorcycle can be easy, as in always ready to go and get back without incident or worry. It all depends on the riding you want to do. For general street street riding in urban, suburban, highway and country 2-lane there are literally dozens of new models available...

    CarPlay

    The unit did work well, certainly no complaints there. If I still had my 1090 I would have mounted it permanently as well as there was room under the seat for the fuse box you use, and I believe there was also a switched accessory connection under the seat as well as the one in the fairing. I...

    CarPlay

    No, my phone overheated. Agreed about the lack of a power switch. I (now) have an accessory USB connection on the side of my headlight cowl and I've connected it to the switched option. I've already sent the unit back as the availability of the switched power source didn't change the only...

    1st gen KLR 650 feedback

    I've never owned one, but I have ridden one. A lot of KLR's have covered a lot of miles for a lot of people. I've never met anyone who knew what the bikes limitations are who regretted owning one. If you've owned/ridden a big single before you know generally what to expect performance and...

    CarPlay

    The unit works well, is good and bright and seems easy to use. Installation was simple and straitforward. BUT I don't think I'll keep it. I have until June 17 to send it back to Amazon. First, while keeping my phone in the tank bag it got too hot according to the message it sent me, and it was...

    CarPlay

    I just installed a carpuride on my GasGas 700 dual sport yesterday. I got the 6" one, W603 I think. My only criticism is that it doesn't have a power switch on the unit, only on the controller. They encourage hooking it up on a switched acc circuit. I find it odd, but Amazon was about $100...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    We must share an imagination then, because I think they are as well. On facebook I've seen stuff with prices reduced and still sitting until reduced again. I've seen Yamaha FJR's with less than 100,000Km listed for $4 or 5k or even less depending on age. If you've got a bit of money to spare...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Well done! That's how you do it; "priced to sell" doesn't mean giving it away, it just means you ACTUALLY DO know what you have and priced it accordingly.

    Not worth the risk

    100% true. I've seen it many times.

    Not worth the risk

    I avoid riding on long weekends for the most part as many other do, though I went out for a coffee and sandwich in Warkworth on Sunday. From my perspective the issues are that there's a lot of people driving around out here in the "far unlit unknown" on the weekend who don't drive much during...

    New HD CEO has a Plan.............

    I really liked the Street Rod too, and went in to (then) Mackie's in Oshawa to look at it when it came out. It was sitting off to the side, but still fairly obvious. As I was looking at it a salesman came over and started a conversation, during which he referred to it as, "A Harley for the...

    New HD CEO has a Plan.............

    Hmmmm.....as a fan(ish) of some Heavy Metal, among other stuff/generes I disagree. When I hear a alphabetsoup glide wallowing past I don't think of Black Sabbath playing Paranoid or Mob Rules. Nor do I think of Iron Maiden and others. And now that I think of it I've never heard an HD go by...
