    Goldwing vs Sport bike

    Back when I just had to find out how fast a vehicle would go, I put a GL1000 into an ugly speed wobble that I was grateful to come out of unscathed. In defense of the bike, it probably had crap tires and was definitely not well maintained. Now, I wouldn't hesitate to ride the same bike but I'm...

    No Border testing....

    The app allows you to upload your proof of vaccination and testing to a server that the border services agent can view when you arrive. Amazon and Walmart know far more about us through our phones than our government does. As long as you have your tinfoil hat on, you should be fine. I thought...

    M1 level rider on SS hard to find insurance

    One of the most often pieces of advice given here is to shop for insurance before buying the bike. To answer your question though, I think there's two ways. You borrow a friend's insured bike until you earn your m2, or most people do a course that gets you the m2 while riding their bike. 3rd...

    A Ride up North - James Bay

    I'll take cold (not icy roads though) over blackflies any day. I just hope I don't get both. I'm not worried about accommodation. I bivvy sac and/or hammock is my go to for this type of trip Sent from my Armor X8 using Tapatalk

    A Ride up North - James Bay

    I had to book vacation so I decided on mid may. I did the north road in July some years ago and I'd rather risk cold than bugs. Would the north road be representative of the conditions I can expect? I know it changes quickly with weather and how long since a grader has passed through. Finding...

    A Ride up North - James Bay

    I think there's two different trips proposed in this thread. A James Bay Highway (JBH) and or the Trans Taiga. I'm looking at the Trans Taiga as my primary goal. Seems like a number of riders did it last year, although fall seems to be preferred Sent from my Armor X8 using Tapatalk

    A Ride up North - James Bay

    So I'm looking at booking vacation for the year and I'm thinking of doing a spring run. I'm trying to find the best balance between having icy roads vs blackfly season. I don't mind if the temperatures are on the low side, but I don't want to be camped out waiting for ice to melt either. Mid May?

    Stuck rotor bolts

    I hope this doesn't turn into a helicoil thread. Sometimes, if it looks like things are going to go sideways, a reputable mechanic is the way to go. Sent from my Redmi 7A using Tapatalk

    Any original connie owners? (Kawasaki Concours)

    Yes I do. There are taller aftermarket windscreens available for fairly high $. I'm 6'2, so your results may vary I just did an iron butt with the stock screen, so it isn't that bad

    Stuck rotor bolts

    If it's hot enough to solder pipe it's enough to unfreeze bolts. You don't want to break or burn more stuff and create more work. After heating, I put the socket in the bolt and give it a sharp rap or two with a hammer. Then put the breaker bar on it. Remember, you can break almost any...

    water heater rental - contract

    These rental companies are savage. The contracts transfers over with the house so you do need to pay the bill. You need to talk to your real estate agent about disclosure of that during the sale and you might be able to get some recourse with the former owner. More often dealing with the...
