Saw a kid maybe 13 or 14 on an e-bike with no pedals, not wearing ANY helmet blast through a construction zone within a 40kph school zone going at least 60kph here in Port Hope. The main road in that area is a mess with a local construction company charged with replacing some water pipes (since...

Pretty sure you could wear assless chaps your Versys if you're so inclined. :) Why not go the Rob Halford route and get a sportster then? There will probably be a low km, older evo model out there that could be had relatively cheap, and if it doesn't work out it would likely be an easy(ish)...

I have no experience with their reliability as I haven't owned one, but I always liked them and the speed twin is the one I liked the most. I sat on one of the 900 cc versions at the MC show in February though and found the seat to footpeg relationship too cramped for my bad knees. I know it's...

No, I bought new ones from Walridge. Not expensive, and I prefer OEM parts in general.

I liked the Michelin Anakees on my KTM 1090. Predictable on loose surfaces, excellent on pavement, wet or dry and they lasted well. They're on my Moto Guzzi too, though they must be original equipment as the bike had just over 5k on it when I got it.

I have FINALLY taken the cold plunge into replacing the wiring harness on my 1974 Norton commando. I cannot describe adequately what a previous owner created. There was a pigtail under the tank (about 12" long) terminating in multiple connectors not plugged into anything and 4 or 5 other paired...

Isn't that essentially the NT1100? What people need/SHOULD buy has virtually no influence on what they do buy, in terms of motorcycles at least. How many people who ride any version of an HD bloat-glide ride any further than the local HD dealer and local gathering places? And to be fair how...

A friend of mine works in (sells) security software to large organizations. He said the services that he sells, and stuff like cloudflare etc. can slow connections down to the point of failure depending on the software in use by the site. Perhaps that's an explanation for

Couldn't log on with MS Edge or Google Chome. Page wouldn't load, and would time out. Installed FireFox and here I am.

Tried it briefly. Dug deeper into the gravel so I quit while ahead, or rather while NOT IN AS BAD A SITUATION AS I COULD HAVE BEEN. That rally, is MADE for KLR's and the like. I stuck to easy gravel routes but a KLR or similar could access some really, really, REALLY nice off road riding...

If you're open to an ICE dual sport, there's a few KLX250/300's on kiiji and FB now in the 3k range (and lower). One could easily be loaded onto a hitch mounted carrier on your Maverick and driven out beyond the city limits for a relaxing day in the country.

Yeah it was cold in the evenings for sure. It's the perfect area for a dual sport, and the routes they have put together would keep you moving for several days. I was thinking the entire time how much fun it would be on a dual sport, and then scanning kijii/FB for KLX's and CRF's for next...

It wasn't the content of the forum that put me off. I can understand and mostly agree with many of the opinions offered. It was that there wasn't ANY room for discussion or dissection of a point, coupled with snarky, demeaning and disrespectful partisan responses the forum became an echo...

Their cover of Rock & Roll Music. Great feel to their rendition.

I participated in the Fall Colours Rally around Barry's Bay this past weekend by Rally Connex. It was the first organized event I've been to in...quite a while. As expected it was well organized and consisted of multiple GPS routes for pavement, gravel and off road with the off road routes...

I often search for particular products at Canadian Tire, specifically the one near me because they note it's location in the store. Google delivers me links to Canadian Tire, but only after multiple "options" from Amazon, Home Depot and some other online sources. It's the nature of the...

I bought a Husqvarna 250 from them on-site as well as some enduristan luggage and stuff online. They were good to deal with.

Get it! Get it! Get it! Looks like a decent paint job. Those single shock GPZ 550's were excellent bikes.

Yeah, I'm quite taken with it. Beautifully finished and a real treat to ride. Though heavy, the side cases are really useful as they are top loaded. If I were to go on an extended trip I'd (grudgingly) put the top case back on. It doesn't interfere with getting on too much, but dismounting can...
