What the actual f**k! WOW

Not really. My ST1100 has a little over 200K km on it and runs great. At 130K km an ST1300 is nicely broken in. Then my ST is ancient at 29 years:LOL:. I plan on riding it for a few more years because it's the most comfortable and reliable bike I've ever owned.

That's definitely the problem with Brampton drivers. They go 30 minutes north to take their test in Orangeville where the "highway" portion of the G2 exit consists of 5 minutes on Highway 10 with an 80kph limit. They then drive home and jump onto the 410 and wreak complete havoc.

Those stats surprised me. I've driven and ridden in both and was not aware that Barrie was considered to be the most dangerous in Ontario. I'm also shocked that Brampton has somehow dropped down to 4th. There is no way I would believe that Toronto is now the safest city in Ontario for drivers...

Or you could pick up one of these the next time you're at a motorcycle show. They are usually handed out free of charge at the shows. I have a few of them that I've acquired over the years and keep a couple on the bike just in case I, or a friend, needs one while out riding. They are lightweight...

Well I like Tim's coffee and will continue to drink it. I don't like any of the coffees offered by Starbucks and simply won't pay the price they want. McDonalds coffee is okay, but it takes longer to get in and out and there isn't one on my way to work.

I didn't see the post before I went over so had no idea they were going to be there and didn't look for them. The Bikes and Blues event is always a great way to spend an afternoon. Granted the vast majority of bikes are Harleys, but there's always a few interesting bikes like this vintage Yamaha...

I was over there yesterday. Didn't know GTAM was going to be there and didn't see the tent.

I've now owned my 97' ST1100 for 19 years and in that time I have put 140,000 km on it. I am currently replacing the seals/oil/bushings for the third time. The first time was in 2007, the year I bought it and those were good until I had to do it again in 2016. So counting the current event I now...

Never heard of Sealmate and fork oil is not something I change on a regular basis. I figure it is a sealed system so outside contaminants should not be an issue. However, I am serious about cleaning the fork tubes to keep them free of anything that could damage the seals. I think a 10 year...

Yesterday I decided to pull the forks off because the seal on the left one had been leaking slightly after a couple of my earlier rides this season. Then, after a short 120km ride in the heat on Tuesday, the right one decided to start leaking. Removing the forks is relatively easy, but I'll...

I don't usually ride on weekends and definitely don't ride on long weekends. Far too much traffic and too many citiots on the roads up here. The benefit of being retired is I can ride on weekdays when the traffic is light and my favourite roads are nearly empty.

I started looking for alternatives when I found out Honda wants $100 for their air filter. The Fram was $9.99 plus tax at Canadian tire. I bought two a few years ago and just used the second one. The Honda filter is metal, but I can buy 10 Fram filters for the price of one of theirs.

I did the spring oil and filter change. I then installed the new rear tire and changed the final drive fluid. While I was at it I decided to change the air filter as well. Fun fact my ST uses the same air filter (Fram ca351) as several Ford models from the 70's and 80's. Now if Mother Nature...

I saw that on FB yesterday. Too many people commenting that the rider probably deserved it.:mad: I don't care what the hell happened before the camera started rolling, this is never justified. The rider should have stopped on the shoulder when he was behind the car and let that crazy moron...
