Anyone keen to head north for a few days before the cool weather sets in? Was hoping to revisit the old ghost town of Silver Centre. Prefer rough camping but parks work too.. Let me know. Can do weekend or thru the week.

Weather for this Friday night looks good so I am hoping to get the Wing out to St Thomas Dragway. Test & Tune Friday night. 15$ for spectators. 40$ if you ride/drive up and want to test your mettle. If you've never pulled up to the tree and staged I highly recommend it. Quite the adrenaline rush.

Squeeze and I got back Saturday from a week in the Isle of Mann. We specifically went to take in the Manx GP. The MGP is not to be confused with the TT, which is the more famous race that takes place earlier in the summer. We decided on the MGP because we felt the TT would be busier, more...

My new battery barely made it back from the trip it seems. Turned the key today and nothing. 6.6V at the battery. The FRIGGING new battery. Slipped in the Wing battery. Turn key, lights up and fires up. Checking the battery I see lots of 16.5-16.9V with spikes into 17 and 18V. (I'm always...

https://vintagemotorcycledays.com/ At Paris a few years ago the KLusteR decided we should take in the Mother of all vintage swap meets. We got back yesterday. Four KLRs and one turncoat T7. Crossed in Buffalo and rode down to Butler OH last Wednesday. Thursday was a bit lazy and we rode down to...

KLR needs and ignition switch and new gas cap. These guys are almost too good to be true. A few reviews later and I think I'm right. Anyone had good experiences?

I'm looking into a new trailer. 5x7 utility. I've noticed some have the wheel near the the mid point of the box and some noticably much closer to the rear. (see pic) Should I be concerned too much tongue weight with something like this one shown? I'm pulling with a Matrix that has a 200lb tongue...

I built a pond/watergarden (3000 liters) for the Squeeze over 20 years ago. Added plants and feeder fish from the pet store and never looked back. They have flourished. Every once in a while a heron would hoover up some - back to the pet store. I estimate approx 120-140 inches of fish combined...

Was in the driveway with a buddy enjoying a beer when we got to looking at my trailer. Turns out the rear spring shackle/mount was completely broken. The rear end of the leaf spring was floating. Only the weight of trailer was keeping it in place. So far this year the trailer has made two...

My hard plumbed NG que just gave it up. I just want a simple 2 burner unit but for some reason the selection with NG seems higher end and I'm struggling to find simpler 2 burner units. I think the difference is only jet size. Can I drill out propane to run NG or is it the other way round?

Rocky's in London id done.

Trailered the dirtbike across Toronto yesterday out to the Ganny and then we rode double track most of the way to Test Hill. We were the only ones there but I assume it's right shite show on a weekend. Is this area the spot they referred to as the "tank trails" when I went to high school in...

Anyone planning to take in the racing? (Or actually racing??) It's like $20 to camp for the weekend. I'm considering loading up the camper. https://shannonville.com/calendar/

I've used this in the past but now I'm not sure where to find it. Thanks

That's less than $5 a litre. Sale ends next Thursday. I'm torn my pail is down to about 1/4....

After installing the first valve on the head of my '72 (ish) CB750 I realized that both inner and outer springs have two tighter coils on one end. My feeble brain can't see that it should make any difference but I'm pretty sure it does. Which end should go up with the keepers.

My nieghbour upgraded the wood stove in his garage and he's looking to get rid of the old one. It's a white coloured wood burning kitchen stove. Not only did it keep his garage warm for many a matinee but on top of that it cooked many a tasty treat. Pigtails anyone?? He wants it gone. Pretty...

Some background: I've been riding well over 40 years. Some of my best trips were 2up with the Squeeze on a 1200 GoldWing. (even scraped pegs at the Gap) When my hips got bad the Wing had to go. I can still ride solo no problem but 2up rides don't last long before I'm feeling cramped and don't...

At Inglis Cycle in London. Was picking up my new lid and saw tires on sale. 40% off most tire plus $10 or $20 off on certain Dunlops if you get them installed. I bought a new tire for the drag Wing's '78 CB750F front wheel. An IRC tire for $88.

After the first rain test a few weeks ago (about a half hour ride in moderate rain) my butt was damp. Pants are supposed to be "waterproof". When I spoke to the Klim CSR she said they're goretex and supposed to be waterproof so I should not have experienced the dampness. She then explained the...
