I had the same attraction to that bike, then the same sort of letdown. I was hoping for a modern XLCR, but it sure wasn't that.

I really, really wanted one last winter. Then they brought the only the DCT version in, so I was a little disappointed. Then I saw it at the February bike show....It was a bit taller than I expected and A LOT wider than I wanted. I lost interest after seeing it in person. It wasn't enough of an...

If you happen to fancy a BMW motorcycle with only it's standard equipment, as in base model you will never find one at any dealership in Canada. Sure you could plan ahead by months and take them up on the notion of ordering one with a vague and always subject to change (wait, wait some more)...

They offered the injection you mention, and it's still about the same price, but more frequent. It's effectiveness is also finite apparently. He didn't think it would be a good solution for me. As expected he said I was a bit young for replacement, and that OHIP doesn't like scoping anymore. I...

I'm partial to the various locks on the Trent Severyn and Rideau Canal. Glen Ross is small and out of the way. If there's a boat coming the attendant will let you open/close the lock as it's manual, and the Peterborough elevator is cool. I can't remember which particular ones on the rideau...

My knees are my limiting body part. I have osteoarthritis in my knees. My left knee was scoped 10 years ago and it has limited range of motion and starts to ache after a while, and my right knee became supper painful this year to the point that it would wake me up. Since January I was sleeping...

I love those 80's inline 4's, but he's way overpriced for everything on that ad. Any mods made to the GS1000 devalues it to collectors. I understand replacing sacked out, old suspension components. The aftermarket pipes on the GS and CB900F aren't even period correct.

The HAha emoji isn't enough. That was hilarious.

Was stopped more than once riding laps around the perimeter of our fields in Pickering when I was a kid. Usually by railway police (CP Rail) strangely enough.

Glad you're healing, (enough to complain about the condition of the tires on the bike you DIDN'T buy :D). You make a great point about riding/driving on rural roads. People tend to relax, believing that the infrequent passing vehicles, and lack of visible police presence means that there's...

If it's a loaded tank, that's A LOT of weight shifting forward and sloshing side to side. A few years ago I was turning left into my laneway on Hwy. 2 in my pick up. I had been watching a county water truck in my rearview gaining on me quickly for a couple km. I put my signal on a long way...

In 1980 a scrap yard out in Newtonville was selling off WW2 surplus Triumph TRW's in the crate for $1500. If only 15 year old me had some foresight...

Agreed, they are cool. From what I've read/heard you can't get insurance on them, meaning you can't get a green plate, which mean you can't ride them on OFTR trails or the Ganaraska forest trails. I could be wrong, and frankly I hope I am. The pedal assist mountain bikes are OK on the motorized...

LOL. I saw the link and read the text with the picture below the screen (out of view) and thought, "Well what problem could be THAT big..." and I scrolled down. WHOA!! That is seven ways to Sunday UGLY. Is the guy color blind? How else do you explain an intestinal pink paint job. And exactly...

And a movie used to cost less than $10 or $2 on Tuesday, a pint of beer was $5, and on and on and on..........

Maybe it's the hopeful, positive outlook guy in me (who I thought was LONG gone) but I thought the same thing. Maybe (hopefully) it was good natured kidding around, and he assumed you'd dry out really quickly. I guess it depends of the look on his face when he did it, and we can never know his...

Gone.

Exactly!! IF you want to be a motorcycle manufacturing company, why wouldn't you try to poach somebody from the executive suite of a successful motorcycle company?

Too often large companies talk about, and hire leadership focusing on the "brand", and when a company like HD in their situation market-wise starts talking about brand it changes the conversation, and these legacy executives on the board lose the plot. Their focus should be on product and let...

So they're going from a guy with experience selling marketing running shoes to one with experience marketing golf stuff?? Are they really doubling down on the notion that their customers are all just about dead, hence a guy from another senior-focused activity? Was the senior executive in...
