Never underestimate the possibility of a wildlife collision... I've travelled the Trans Canada many times. North of Sault Ste. Marie I get off the road before dusk. Last july I came within 30 ' of hitting a full grown moose at 100kmh. 'Talk about a butt-puckering moment. I even braced for impact...

Although not "official" IB runs... I can think of two I've done that might have been close. Penticton to Moose Jaw 1300km 12hrs... Including a roadside chat with a Lethbridge RCMP officer... 'Something about going 157 in a 90 zone. The other one... Thunder Bay to Burlington... It's about...

There's also the old idea that you're not really paying for their time. You're paying for their knowledge and skill... On top of all those pesky things like rent, insurance and all the other overhead expenses.

As an aside... I get a kick out of all the youtubers who put up videos on "how to change your motorcycle tire" and they demonstrate their unworldly skill using a skinny dirt bike tire. try that over your knees on a 180/55 ZR17 with your silly little spoons.

With the No-Mar it's all about technique... If you find yourself having to use brute force you're probably doing something incorrectly. 'Took me a few changes to figure out how to get my stiffies on, but now.... 'Goes pretty easy.

'Did about 500km today, 7.5 hrs total "moving time according to the Garmin. 'Met up with a buddy's buddy near Owen Sound and tore up the back roads towards Sauble... Beautiful day for it.

In my org we call it "F### up to move up". Very few of our so called "leadership" are respected at all. Many have been promoted through nepotistic practices, favors, settlements or other shady means.

Although it might feel like it, winter storage isn't really all that long. Twenty to twenty four weeks... All I do is give her a bath, fill the tank, use stabilizer, park her in the garage. I don't usually cover her, cuz then how would I get to look at her every time I go out to shovel the...

Well... Turns out it must be the YuYue BT controller that's the problem. I found my old Chubby Buttons controller, replaced the battery and presto... Paired, connected and stayed connected for my 3hr ride around the back roads today... So... As I heard a million time during my 1980's...

If riding/wrenching bikes was about "saving" money... We're all doing it wrong :-)

Meh, 'can always justify a new tool. Lol For me, it's all about the convenience of being able to easily change my tires. I hate having to pull wheels, take them to a shop, hope they can do it while I wait (which never happened), leave my wheels for days some times, drive back to pick them up...

If only it were so easy Lol. Yeah, tried that many times. No joy.
