The Five Fishermen in Halifax is a great place to enjoy seafood and beverages. It’s downtown Halifax. There is typically something going on in Halifax throughout the year. The drive to Peggy’s Cove itself is quite nice and the stop to take in the lighthouse is worth it. You’ll be tempted to...

Just back from Gananoque and Westport and the fall colours and roads were delightful! Westporch was fun this year with an appearance from Paul Langlois for a few songs. As for what is my weak point, it’s simply mental. If the weather is crap and cold and it sucks, I’m not having a good...

Regarding troubled youth, I’m one of the few that made it through. I was in and out of detention centres and foster care etc. I was angry at the world and the social circles I was around encouraged lawlessness. There was some lovely foster parents that helped me along with some counselling...

I picked up the one DT - 2012 T100 with the 865 air cooled. It was a one owner bike and pretty clean. Put new rubber and front rotor on it and it’s been the bees knees for me. I wouldn't want to hummm along on the 400 series for more than an hour or so. Otherwise the flat seat and zipping...

Absolutely. “One of” or for a few really dumb riders like myself, maybe even twice to be sure? 🤷‍♂️ I returned to a Sportster with a 1200R version with twin discs that didn’t feel or do any better. 😆 Also went down the rabbit hole of accessories to make it better. Suspension, comfort...

@adri much of the same thing for me buying a Sporty. I was actually looking for a Bonneville but, the cost was too much and found a classic 1200 Sportster with drag bars and forward controls. Learned to do maintenance on it with some help from seasoned riders and updates like seat...

It’s a thankless job. We see it every day. They deal with it every day. They never seem to see the offender we just saw doing stupid stuff and we get pulled over for something minor in our opinion and might even have a bit of an attitude when it happens. I get social feeds of Karen’s or...

Maybe not as grand idea, I’ve contemplated a Ural for winter riding.

As long as you got the right size frame, the components look decent and I favour rigid frame and forks personally. I’m a bit of a snob for crank sets and peddles and typically find something that makes me feel like I upgraded. I’d gladly rip up the road on it. Oh, and I’d probably have fresh...

Meh, I’d rather the yammie for the inline 4 and the under tail exhaust and enjoy the sound track above 7k. But, if it’s to putt around at a leisurely pace in high gear, it might not be all that fun. Go for it!

UJM for under $2k. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/797009416350515/?

Being self aware and having the courage to take action and make a change. It’s hard for many and some try and fail where others succeed. I’d like to think I’m the same guy I’ve always been but, truth be told I’ve adjusted my mind set over time. Having an appreciation for the simple things...

Looks like a lot of fun! Have they picked a location for next year?

The track is always the best place for comparing member sizes. Know a fella on a Honda Magna cruiser shaming others on the 600SS machines. Sure it’s modified for the track but, it’s a sight to see. To each their own and whatever floats your boat.

Funny enough, I was watching his honest review of a Bonneville and watched a few more of his vids including this one. Quite enjoyable to watch and a few laughs. A Euro Ryan F9.

Yes. One owner bike with 37k on the clock and well maintained with plenty of documentation and a few extras, wind screens, clutch cable, saddlebags etc. located DT TO and purchased by this out of towner. I low balled him. Ok, we came to an agreement on price below asking. 😉 There is a...

Let’s just say I’m moving on and letting it disappear in the rear view. Thus my apprehension to even post about it. For my next trick, I’ve gone back to the classic look and ride of yesteryear. It will look good in the garage with its 4 wheel sister of the same name even if it’s not the...

Test ride after mounting new tires.

Yes. And the first incident like it ever in their 35 years of business.

Overall, my posts are too long and wordy and the whole experience was a dogs breakfast. The shop is reputable and the incident was regrettable to everyone involved. Let’s just say the bike was in top condition and the cost to put it back would exceed the value of the bike itself. It was a...
