I love that Honda colour scheme. Stretch the legs a little this way and you can take a cactus paddle back from the garden.

I was 5 mins away from blind ordering some Toucans from Motostorm in Italy as they were $300+ cheaper than anything in Canada. Checked marketplace and there was a pair, local, unworn, my size for $450. Nice boots, way more protection than I currently have.

Do you need to access calls while on the go or just at home? If at home you could get a VoIP service with a second number and have those calls forwarded to your current phone.

Going to check out a pair of AStars Toucans which are more armoured than most ADV boots but still will let me walk a bit.

My KTM ones cancel too early at times (I just flick them on again) but I’m in the habit of checking my turn signals like some kind of nervous habit as I ride regardless of whether they cancel or not. They are nice to have I guess.

We have a Breville version with coated plates but it’s lasted way more than 3 years with no sign of it delaminating or even scratching. We aren’t especially gentle with it but we don’t use metal implements. The plates are not removable but it’s not too bad to clean. Anytime I’ve had to use a...

The 5 span bridge in Pakenham is out of action soon too. Ride The Highlands on Facebook has a lot of info on roads under construction in the area.

“Fitbit round the ankle” is that what they are calling it now ? ;)

Ticks are bad this year. Winter conditions weren’t right to put a dent in the population.

Was it Touratech Velcro at $99 for a 5cmx5cm piece?

What about scallops wrapped in bacon? I could eat those things like jelly beans.

The Gaerne Dakars have an external ankle hinge which offers a bit more protection than some others which is why I was looking at them. I also don’t like high toe box boots as I can’t shift as easily with those (had a chunky pair of Formas a while back and sent them back). There’s a pair of...

Lac Brome sells prepackaged duck confit. It’s available across Ontario at various places but harder to find than the duck breasts.. Costco sells the duck breasts which are the best value in a multipack. Delicious stuff. Peking duck is another favourite but no one sells that near me. Edit...

I’ve been on the trails for years but didn’t have any real training. I did a Trailtours course a few years back which was great and got rid of a few irrational fears, especially sand. A lot of the roads I like end in gravel or cottage roads at some point and the snowmobile trails add to those...

Just read the Cycle World article on it and it will be interesting to see if people will fork over $20k for a Chinese made bike as most comments seem to focus on that. I hope it’s reliable and that parts availability are in place. It would be good for Ural if it was a success. For me, I’ll...

I’m seriously thinking about one. In a perfect world I’d have several bikes but in that perfect world I’m also stinking rich.

My KTM has them.

I hate trout. The only freshwater fish I like is pickerel and I’d rather have an ocean fish instead of that. Don’t mind venison and I had caribou which was ok. As far as birds go duck above all else. Duck confit is probably the tastiest most unhealthy thing on the planet.

Where’s the farm?

I was looking at this exact boot.
