Just got my renewal notice in the mail today, for my '21 F750GS... Just the pink slips straight from Intact - no rate information at all; just a note to contact my broker. This doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy deep down inside. Got an email in to them right now; looking to see what the...

Ford's people figured out (and did) what the Federal Con's haven't been able to wrap their heads around... that small-c Conservative thinking is generally well liked in Canada... Financially conservative policies are usually well received; it's the so-con stuff that shoots them in the foot...

Nice spot... bit far for a Niagara guy to get to in time; but I know exactly where it is... ;)

That's the closest Tim's to my office - when I ride in, I make sure to park well away from the squids that gather there...

I can beat that for absurdity... This is going back prob 15 years ago, though. 401 Windsor bound, just before London; I was in the middle lane doing 106, in a marked company truck (was working for a large phone company at the time). Cars on both sides passing me like I'm standing still. Cop...

I blasted past an unmarked on the 404 years ago - he lit me up; I slowed down and was pulling over as a BMW -ROCKED- past us both... Cop gave me the "you're a bad boy" finger wave as he pulled out and went after bigger fish.

Beauty day for a ride...

I'm hoping for a good decrease when my policy renews in August; but with insurance these days, who knows?? 45, married, considered a new rider (let my M license lapse prob 15 years ago, so had to start over). My record's not great, although clean for the last 4 years... 4k a year for...

"Everyone would gather On the twenty-fourth of May Sitting in the sand To watch the fireworks display" I'm a huge Rush fan. I ride a German bike. The "Lakeside Park" the song is about (Port Dalhousie, St. Catharines) is like 45 minutes from me... Seems like ducking out for an hour, after lunch...

Agree.. Anything between 12.5-13.1 is perfectly normal for a charged LA battery, sitting open-cell.

Canadian Tire batteries are made by East Penn, currently... Pretty well regarded and generally high quality. I'm surprised you're having a hard time with them. Only thing I can think of is old stock, that's not been properly floated and rotated.

Depending on the intelligence of the charger; leaving a trickle charger on the battery all winter may do the battery in.... Esp. if it's a larger charger (motorcycle/power-sports battery tenders should usually be in the 500-750 ma range; car tenders may be as much as 7A) Yuasa is a big name...

My office is 37 seconds from there (in the industrial park just north) - when I ride in, if I stop for coffee, I park well away from the 'group' that takes over the parking lot...

I'm not much of a mechanic; but I am a battery guy... If your charging system is weak, the load of the bike running will draw the battery voltage down; and slowly discharge the battery. Check the connections, looking for corrosion... discoloration from hostspots or high resistance when you...

Seemed a particularlly bad day - large group riding (10 bikes) - hit some loose stuff on the Burlington Skyway - one moderately injured, several others with road-rash or just bruises to their pride. RIP and GWS to all those who fell to the 13th...

Did nothing -IN- the garage today; but did dig down and poured a small concrete under-pin for part of the garage wall... So worked -ON- the garage... that count?

Looking for thoughts, opinions and experiences... I ride a BMW F750gs - and am an amatuer photographer... I'm looking to carry my camera with me when I'm out, but I'm concerned about the vibration. I shoot a Canon EOS-R; in a padded Canon over the shoulder bag. Anyone here carry...

6 years ago, lost a friend and love.... She'd just gotten her first bike, and an teen age kid turned into her. https://www.rhbandersonfuneralhomes.com/cms/obituaries/deanna-rawn/ I'd known her for years; we dated for a while, even lived together for a bit before life took us in different...

New member here (as of today - 22-05-08) Been riding about a year, so still fairly new; but love to get out when I can... Live in Niagara Region, lots of decent riding down here! Riding a 2021 BMW F750 GS - 40th Anniversary 'bumblebee' paint scheme; affectionately known as Heidi, my German...
