    Private sale and test rides

    When I sold my ST I got a nice little stack of $100 bills. The new plastic bills have a number of security features that are relatively easy to check. Just slowly and methodically counted them and checked them at the same time. Also, When I did up the bill of sale I got his driver's license...

    How much can you drink?

    Boy, very strange question IMO. I never drink when riding. Other than that, one drink when out, having dinner and driving home. Generally, we have dinner, one drink if any, and then a 2 - 2.5 hour movie. I'm likely blowing near zero when driving home after the movie..

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    I had a very nice 24" 8HP Craftsman that did a great job. In-laws moved into a condo and gave me the 29" 11HP unit 20 years ago. The smaller blower was actually a better designed unit and did a much better job of cutting through deep snow and the windrow than the larger machine. By the time I...

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    Last April I purchased a 40V Ryobi self propelled single blade mower. It came with a 15" sting trimmer + two 6 amp batteries. $900 + HST at the time, probably cheaper now. This was for the cottage, 12,000 sq ft of lawn, up and down hills, with the gas mower took 75 minutes. On average each...

    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    I thought all Bobcaygeon had were hookers and hockey players................ Never realized they had a Timmies as well.

    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    The question is not as far out there as you'd like to believe. I was picking up some Honda parts at a powerhouse dealer that sold cars, bikes, lawnmowers, generators etc........ and spent some time looking at the newly redesigned 2018 GW and a few other bikes. Sales guy came out of his office to...

    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    Reply "Yes, there is a chance, it's 1 in 30,000,000. You wait here while I decide" At age 16 my daughter had a guy who liked her and hung around for a month or so before he got the message. He saw my ST1100 in the garage. About 2 years later he calls my daughter up out of nowhere, explains he...

    Benefits of owning multiple bikes

    Well......... What "first" service would involve checking rad bolts? If a rad fastener bolt fell off, or was never there, this is an assembly / factory issue, nothing to do with a routine service check IMO.

    Full coverage or liability + theft.

    I've "self insured" most of the things I have purchased over the 45 - 50 years. No extended warranties, service contracts for electronics or appliances, trip cancellation insurance etc....... I'm way ahead dollar wise, and have experienced minimal issues. If you trash a $10K bike, have to fix...

    Front brakes are sticky

    Bike is a '22, so 2 full seasons on the road. If you have not already done this I'd be pulling the wheels and doing a PM on the brake calipers. Pull the pads off, clean them, the pistons, the caliper and pad pins if applicable. Lube what needs to be lubed and reassemble. I do so this at lease...

    Armor or no Armor that is the question..

    Other than avoiding the accident, the key trick to minimizing injury is to get on the ground quickly and slide to a stop without hitting anything. This is the type of fall you have when you lowside. The "armor" you wear, and your leather or textile gear, will minimize low impact bumps, scrapes...

    Two wheel motorsports

    I don't think you have any recourse against the dealer. The value adds you listed should have been in the sales contract. They're offering to cancel the sales contract, so this is a tacit acknowledge that the deal has changed. It could be worse. They could be trying to force you to follow...

    Licence testing for towing recreational trailers ?

    I think the enforcement re trailer setup / towing vehicle in Ontario is minimal, you can probably get away with just about anything, no one is going to stop you to verify tow capacity or your license. People from BC tell me the police there are much more proactive in checking rigs for issues /...

    Trailer in a bag

    Boy, that's a real minimalist trailer. I don't know how often you use this trailer, or plan to in the future , but have you considered just renting a U-Haul when you need it. No storage issues, plus a way more substantial unit.

    More authoritarianism Bill C-63

    Well, I'm back. I was removed from my home and sent to a hellish re-education center in some god forsaken place. I think it was Scarborough. I don't remember too much. I received some medication to calm me + some kind of therapy where they attached electrodes to my temples. I'm much better...

    More authoritarianism Bill C-63

    Yes, people are really raging about this and need to chill out a bit. Also, be very careful.......... I have it on good authority that government agents are monitoring this thread and are preparing to raid and take down dissenters. Personally, I think the feds are exceeding their authority and...

    Map folding

    I have a Garmin XT and use it for routes on bike trips. In the route planning stage for the big picture I use google maps on my 27" 4k monitor. We also use the XT on back road car trips to supplement the onboard navigation system. Spouse loves pouring over maps and we always have detailed maps...
