    Middle Weight Sport Tourers!

    My wonderful VFR is getting a bit long in the tooth. At 12 years old and rapidly encroaching on 100k miles, everything is going fine but i'm basically using that as an excuse to eyeball other bikes that may or may not serve as a good replacement, eventually. The obvious route is just to get...

    A Soggy trip down the BRP

    I just got back from a ~4,200 km trip down Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway with an unplanned sprint to Deals Gap. I don't plan much of anything when I do road trips. I set milestones to make sure I'm covering enough ground on any given day, but they move depending on how far I make it at any...

    Buggrit

    Nice ride out to Collingwood today, but I made the mistake of stopping with my bike perpendicular to a steep slope, left side on the downhill side. When I put my foot down, the slope was great enough that my bike ended up falling over, taking me with it. More embarrassing than anything, but it...

    Octane and Ice Cream

    Hello everybody. I was referred to the forum at the Toronto bike show a few weeks back and after a bit of lurking to see what's what, I think I'll stick around. I'm currently riding a 2003 VFR800 and trying to decide where on the continent I want to tour next season. From my tour around Lake...
