It's that time again when the little furball will tells us if it's a early spring or more winter. More importantly when riding season will start! 🙂 Just for fun, nothing scientific here, but we are getting close. Previous years 2023 Was able to get out on Feb 20th! 2022 it was Mar 6

Hey gang, yup I got tagged for running a red. :rolleyes: Was on the bike too, when I got home from going to Algonquin. Just a bit tired and lazy and missed it. Was close to home as well. Didn't even realize they had a camera system at this intersection. Anyhow I need to deal with this...

OK riders, apparently this topic is just as convoluted as which oil to use. I've never had to do chain maintenance, but the new bike needs it. I'm hoping to develop some good habits here. It was recommended by a dealer to stay on top of it especially when it rains, or after dirt. I believe...

Well the cat it out of the bag, some of you know I picked up a new ride! Here it is, a 2023 Suzuki vStrom Adventure XT So as you know my Harley was giving me a bunch of problems over the past year or so. After the last day trip break down, decision was made to find something else, with umm...

Hey all, Yup happened again, actually back end of May, my last day trip. The one to Ottawa. I broke down in Kingston. Nothing unusal was going on with the bike for the entire ride. But something happened. Was waiting at the red at a intersection when it just died. Tired to start it, came on for...

With better weather around the corner and more of 2023 riding season to be full on, time to do day trips! Just a thread to share where you went for the day, routes, interesting sites, and photos of your trip! What a difference a bit of sun and a few + degrees of temperature can make. Headed...

Hey all. Been exploring this site for some items. But I've never ordered from there, can anyone share their experience? Thanks!

Surprised no one posted this already. It's off season damit! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-mayor-john-tory-statement-1.6745144 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/john-tory-resignation-what-questions-do-you-have-1.6745349 As @mimico_polak mentioned elsewhere they all seem...

Yes it's that time of the year where we find out if spring, and more importantly, when riding season will start again! Just a bit of fun to add some excitement to the beginning of the 2023 riding season. So far the news looks good...

Saw this the other day, nice to see a good story about motorcycling in the mass media, and not you know about something belonging to fallen rider category. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipegger-motorcyclist-success-long-riding-1.6719271

Hey gang So I've been caught off guard on one of the Financial companies I deal with for handling some mutual funds. They introduced an admin fee ($50) per year. I've been with them for 10+ years and they had no fee's (I'm sure they are skimming off the top to making their money). They state...

I know tax and other bills are not exactly something to get excited about, but can't beat the convenience of this. I've wanted to do this for long while, and it appears it's finally possible starting in Jan 2023. Not sure why they are not publicly notifying people I just found this out by...

Since I have my bike all apart and was cleaning up all the muck built up just under the primary, I've noticed some paint is flaking off the frame. Is this something I should repair or be cocerned about. If so how do I repair it?

I know I know, no easy answer on this, and yes it's a Harley so there is that. This year my riding has suffered from mechanical issues. Various different things, some fixed, some still in progress, like the pinging. Today I set out to do a longer ride. I got as far as Coboconk. Up until that...

Anybody else notice the price difference between Premium gas and other blends is much higher then it use to be. I've seen the differences of 30 to 50 cents compared to reg, where it use to be like 10c. I've only seen 1 place where the price seemed normal which was out in Lindsey, but I think...

Yeah what a surprise a HD with a strange problem... Lately I've been noticing a metallic tinking sound. I thought it was something loose on the bike. But talking with another rider it appears to be pinging. I've never experience this before with my bike or otherwise which is why I wasn't sure...

Out doing some errands and saw a driver get caught it was kinda weird. I pull up to a stopped intersection and this generic looking Ford Explorer does a uTurn from the opposite lane and pulls up behind me. I take a closer look in my rear view, and start noticing stuff in their windows like...

Seems to be a wide spread internet outage going on in Southern Ontario. I'm with Teksavvy and you can't even call them as their phone lines have been impacted. Using my mobile which still works. Since I can't do any work this morning thought I would call around for some parts. Can't get through...

Hey guys is there a tool supplier something in between PA & Crappy Tire, and say Mactools and Snap On? I'm in need of a Torx T-70 socket bit. I just have this feeling that I could find something at PA & CT but it won't be very durable or fit well (I hate torx). But at the same time don't want...

So I had a what appeared to be a client request my services. At first it seemed very legitimate, with the usual questions about the services etc. Then some flags started to appear. Instead of what a typical client would say "I'd like to book your services how do we do this" they go on to say...
