    What Comm System?

    I have a Nolan modular helmet, and a windscreen on my R1200RS. The voice commands are amazing and work fabulous. Its a game changer for ease of use. The JBL speakers are fine, but I never use them. Instead I use high quality custom fitted earphones sold by an Audiologist. They block all of...

    medical insurance for US trip

    Just recently I was reading that some private equity firms have been buying up all the small private and independent air ambulance companies that operate in the good ole USA. They now cover huge swaths of the country. Being the only game in town, prices have sky now rocketed to the...

    OPP RELEASES AT-FAULT DATA LINKED TO MOTORCYCLE FATALITIES!

    Was the rider in proper motorcycle protective gear, helmet type. Single vehicle crash due to failing to navigate a curve? So much more useful data could and should be collected that would give the rider community some useful information to consider and learn from. But nope. That might be too...

    OPP 2020 crash stats TL: DR most fatal bike crashes are single-vehicle

    Have a look at the OPP homepage. There is a tab for "what we do" Investigating vehicle accidents is not listed. Its obviously just an after thought. I doubt whether that really care that much about accurate reporting. (unless they can use it to increase their budget)

    Thoughts on this tire changing setup?

    If you have an old inner tube, cut it up into strips and zip tie them along the top rail. Then if the tire slips, it won't scratch the rim.

    Profiled for not the color of skin but vehicle you choose to drive - this is not OK

    It is not a question of profit, its a question of restitution. In Canada the winner will be awarded his court costs, that included his lawyer fees. This is a rogue cop endangering the public. The victim was handcuffed for what reason? A possible highway traffic act violation? He wallet was...

    Profiled for not the color of skin but vehicle you choose to drive - this is not OK

    I hope the rider has hired a lawyer. He was assaulted and must sue the cop and the police force he works for. If he was injured, possibly bruised it must be reported to the SIU. Its a sure bet the cops won't do this on thier own. His lawyer with this video evidence can contact the SUI to...

    Shades of Sturgis

    Supposedly the Black Bike Rally was canceled due to covid 19 concerns. But the Myrtle Beach Fall Bike Rally for white Harley Davidson riders has not been canceled. This year the Fall Bike Rally is slated for Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2020. I guess only bikers of a certain persuasion spread covid 19.

    BMW service/shop?

    I believe the R9T has the round BMW service connector. ODB2 blue tooth scanners use the standard rectangular connector that has been in cars since at least the late 90's. You would require a converter cable that connects the two different interfaces. The newer BMW wethead models now come...

    anyone used these tire plugs before

    If the Dynaplug kit doesn't come with rubber cement I wouldn't trust the repair. With no glue, due to the shape of the damage the rubber plug may not completely seal the hole. I suppose a slow leak is better than a flat tire, nut why bother. The tried and true sticky rubber coated tire repair...

    WTF is going on with Motorcycle deaths?

    Nonsense. I have ridden over 240000KM with driving lights on in the daytime. I have never had a close call with a car pulling a left in front of me. There is no question that driving lights make a bike more conspicuous. Its not rocket science to ensure the lights are aimed correctly so they...

    Waterproof Gear

    I have a Klim gortex jacket and pants. When on the road I don't have to guess if it going to rain or not. I don't have to stop to wrestle my way into a rain suite at the side of a highway if I guessed wrong and it does rain. When you are far from home, it sucks getting soaked. If you ride a...

    Oct 5, 2019 Rider down

    While out for a ride this afternoon, at 17:00 I passed by a gold coloured Gold Wing down on Regional road 57 south of Ceasaria, east of Port Perry. I am afraid it appeared to be a head on collision. Front forks were bent back to the engine. The impact left an SUV down in the south west...

    Safety first! Helmets should be compulsory for everyone. Accidents do not happen on the basis of religion.

    Do you calibrate festivus? Yes I do believe that is a valid exception for not paying taxes.

    Tory takes aim at noisy motorcycles

    Nope. Just tired of the selfish children in the community ruining the sport for all. It's time to pay the piper. There is no reason for anyone to install loud pipes other then trying to be a noisy jerk.

    Tory takes aim at noisy motorcycles

    I hope the fine starts at $1000. Double it for the 2nd offense. Then confiscation after strike three! Since its just a bylaw maybe they can leave it to the enforcement officers discretion as what if too loud!. They can also make the ticket inconvenient to fight, as they do now with parking tickets.
