I'm with you here. If I had a dollar for every time I rode off with my key sticking out of the seat lock.... With the size and weight of key plus fob, I'm surprised it hasn't just plain fell out... yet. Keyless ignition is a blessing and a curse. *Every* time I go for a ride... there's...

I had a pair of custom fitted ones made recently and have so far been underwhelmed. They attenuate noise much less than my regular foams, and seem to introduce a weird low frequency booming noise as well.

I've worn my helmet into stores. It's too much of a pain for me to take off my gloves, take off my helmet, take off my ear plugs, etc. and then have to reverse all of the above possibly a few minutes later. While I'm sure the above interaction is the exception and not the rule, it would give...

There’s nothing like the feeling immediately after jumping out of a plane on your own. You feel like you can do anything. I’ve only done it once, maybe 25 years ago, and I remember everything about that day as if it just happened.

My Mom was an inveterate speeder. My Dad would always say she was “racing to her grave”. I still joke about that with her.

I thought when my kids got older they wouldn’t want to have anything to do with us. I know I was like that as a teen, so I was looking forward to having lots of free time when that happened. In fact part of the reason I got back into riding was the knowledge that my kids didn’t need me the same...

You’re just being a good father and you should be commended. Saturday was a beautiful day for riding, but I spent most of it having brunch, doing some errands and visiting Sainte Marie among the Hurons, all with the wife and our 19- and 17-year old sons. I did squeeze in an hour or two towards...

Wow. Sounds like an amazing guy. RIP to your friend. I hope they let you pay full tribute to him.

As for me - I rode about 150km on Saturday in the Barrie/Oro area in the evening after spending the day with my wife and kids. I was mostly interested to see if the WindJammer helmet skirt I bought would reduce wind noise. I couldn't tell much of a difference, except that it made putting on...

@PrivatePilot That bike looks like a real, certified mile muncher. Congratulations, it looks beautiful. An IBA ride is a dream of mine. What IBA ride is this that you need special permission to ride in this case?

I'm still stunned that someone would lane split at such high speed right afterwards. Judging by how fast he pulled away from me, he must have been going 180+ when he went between two cars that were right beside each other. Today I was stuck on Horseshoe Valley Rd behind a huge farm vehicle...

That's great info. Thank you @Ash. I'll check with the vendor to be double sure, but if I don't hear from them or they can't figure out what I have from the tag, I feel pretty comfortable knowing what I need.

It didn’t come with a battery, just the leads to the battery. I believe the packaging indicated that the battery was an additional accessory. If these devices were standardized then it would be easy to add more stuff even if didn’t come from the same vendor.

I was on my bike. 2014 Multistrada. I wouldn’t have guessed a hooligan would do that to an adventure bike, but maybe?

I was heading up Highway 11 between Barrie and Orillia tonight, doing a leisurely 120-130. Out of nowhere a CBR flies past me in the fast lane - and trust me, he was going fast. When he passed me, he rev bombed me, and then slowed down ahead of me. He looked back over his shoulder very...

Yeah I guess that’s what I meant - that connectivity and power were standardized.

Thanks @Lightcycle . I am not 100% sure it’s 12V as the description of the connectors in the manual don’t seem to match exactly what I have. I was hoping that this sort of gear had standard connectors, sort of like heated snowmobile visors, and that I could just go to Royal Distributing and...

So, the only thing that looks like an identifier in the liner says PO#MW051315. I Googled this and couldn’t find anything. I went on their website and looked up their old manuals. The closest one at can find to my jacket is in this manual from 2018: 2018 Mobile Warming dual power jacket...

I’m will do. I honestly don’t know what the voltages are. Thanks all!
