Was just looking at a Burgman and thought about going to see it with my trailer and a lowball offer. After looking at pics of it I would need to buy the straps that attach to the hand grips. Never had need to do that before. Always been able to find a spot inboard of the switch gear on the bars...

Decided this year I want to put some money where my mouth is and do some actual Bracket racing. (as compared to just running Test and Tune passes) Between my two Wings I've done just over 80 passes and I kept every timing slip. My buddy's Squeeze is a spreadsheet guru so I gave her all my slips...

Reading how to wash my Klim gear and it talks about reviving the DWR by running an extra dryer cycle and also applying a spray on DWR such as Revivex. What do you folks do? I bought the light grey to be cooler and more visible but fixing roadside flats on chain drive bikes doesn't get along...

A buddy has offered to let me store my 2 snowmobiles in his sea can. I'm a bit leery thinking it could be damp and full of condensation. This fellow had stored some wooden furniture in it and the finish was water damaged. Another friend has a sea can at his cabin and says he has no issues...

Broke my own rule about not buying a new motorcycle. Unfortunately the selection of used Gen3's is so low I ended up with new. I'll be picking it up next week. Mine is exactly as shown below except mine is an S model which is factory lowered. The second new vehicle I have ever owned. FWIW this...

KLR has no spark. Checked with a meter when cranking the starter the power into the coil was around 0.50V. I was expecting much closer to 12V. Popped all the connections between the CDI and the coil cleaned them all and it made no difference. Thoughts?? The way I've ridden this thing hard and...

Any Trabant love? Came across this picture from when Squeeze and I were backpacking Europe in '88. We hitch hiked into West Berlin and then took a day trip in behind the Iron Curtain. Trabants were powered by 2 stroke motors and the bodies were made of a low grade FRP like product they called...

I worked with Campbell for a few years - cool guy. I have a 2003 Bolwell heritage calendar if anyone wants it...

There's just something about pulling up to the tree and getting staged. Every time I get a rush when the lights start to drop. Test & Tune days are cheap thrills. This year I'm hoping to actually do some bracket racing - so far I've only been racing against myself...

Have my studded Honda at a buddy's close to Rice Lake. We're hoping to enjoy some sloppy seconds on a Monday after Sunday racing. Anyone know when they plow a track and race?

KLX250 needs a new chain. Looking at a 520 chain. There's quite a pile to choose from. What's good for off road? And sprockets? Beyond the right number of teeth what's important?

I like to watch MotoGP on YT. Sometimes I'm watching a race with Nick Harris giving the colour commentary, I'll be a few laps in and realize it's just animation (albeit quite good). What's up with that?

A buddy just keeps the hits coming... (for the KLR guys.) Getting my sled up and running inspired this one. (Been riding with this guy for almost 30 years. He's helped me get my bike up right many times, boosted my bike in the bush using two wrenches as jumper cables times and even doubled...

A buddy has borrowed my charger long enough I've decided it's his. The one I loaned was a 12/6V charger with a 10 amp engine boost mode for 12V. That engine boost mode was great for anything cranky (no pun intended). Any one recommend a unit with 12/6V trickle charge and an engine boost mode?

Full Disclosure - This regards my sled. Specifically a 1980 Kawasaki Invader liquid cooled 440 Was running fine and then it blew an exhaust gasket. Ever since the new gasket it hasn't ran right. It has no power under load. On a stand it runs like a champ. With the track on the ground it just...

Being retired I'm looking to join a service club again (decades ago I was an Optimist member) Thinking about the Kinsmen or the Lions since they're reasonably active in town. Thoughts?

Squeeze enjoys watching MC racing. This past summer we went to watch the Manx GP on the IOM (and are planning a return for summer after next). Now I'm thinking we should take in a MotoGP race. Which one would be top of your list and why?

Between my 2 Wings I've got data on likely over 60 passes. I'm thinking about maybe using that to figure out my best ET and go bracket racing next summer. To figure out my best number can I add my ET and my reaction time. In other words once the light turns green does it matter when I trip the...

This is a good time. Old bikes, old cars, some racing, you can even play monkey and hang off a sidecar (Trust me it's a huge rush!) If you spot Seemore or my old Honda stop by and say hello. https://www.gbfos.ca/
