Gotta admit the Obi/Mando/Boba series have sucked me back in. My kids are watching The Bad Batch and other series to help me understand the back stories etc. I’m looking forward to this actually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the previous model Northrock with only a 7 spd freewheel. I quickly swapped out the crank arms for 175mm, upgraded the tires (JJs) but, haven’t gone tubeless yet, and did go with a lower tooth chain ring. It’s a beast in the winter powder snow and beach sand. Did grab some cheapo CST...

A possible tip would be to contact an insurance broker and ask if having an experience letter from an insurance carrier from your country of origin would be helpful. If yes, then you have the hassle of getting one but, there are some circumstances that it could be beneficial. Along with other...

Have a 2018 Forester and tow a small pop up trailer. Excellent visibility, can accommodate large and small drivers, passengers. Decent fuel economy with full time awd. Actually had two and both impressed. Mid trim spec and based power plant. Not the turbo but, if you can get it, why not. The...

I’ve seen one out in the wild and they actually look great. Something about the gold rims that says come out and buy me and ride back home. Maybe but, not today. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So the title of this thread should be “carb or gas vs electric”. Lol Kidding! For trails, I think electric is great. For road machines, FI as fuel mapping/programming can bring the best performance etc. Carbs are like home phones. They do the job but, are limited and very few know how...

Yeah, check the front and rear sprockets. The belt’s remaining teeth doesn’t appear to have cracking or signs of wear. The rear sprocket wear is more common than the front. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Under most circumstances, riding or driving will encounter idiots in cages etc. My mind when riding is for the joy of riding. Patience is the best approach and a sense of humour to laugh at their stupidity. Karma will take care of things eventually. Typically don’t get to witness it when it...

Vstrom is the Swiss Army knife or motorcycles and plenty of them out there. I’d just sit back and peruse what’s out there and find yourself a cherry ride and enjoy it when it happens! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Steve, Get another bike and park the old one for a bit. You can always fix it and or sell it. Make it a winter project etc. those touring HDs can be overhauled and be good for another 100k. Heck, many will do an upgrade or 3 depending on the job needed to complete. Plenty of nice bikes out...

Don’t see this coming to NA anytime soon. If the z400 or z650 twin doesn’t do it for you, there is a whack of choices in the 900 range. As appealing as a zippy 400 would be, I just don’t see it happening. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Call me shallow but, I prefer a bike that looks good as well as comfort. The adv styles have that rugged and purposeful look. The sport touring is more sleek. I mostly stay on tarmac so sport touring does it for me. My uncle has a loaded GS and it’s a beast. But, it doesn’t bring a smile to...

We cook on the open fire with a tri-pod grill. Onions and yellow peppers in some foil or asparagus with some butter, salt and pepper, roast over the fire. For breakfast, we cook peameal bacon and have fresh fruit like grapes, pear or apples. Using a propane burner, we have boiled some veggies...

It’s a bit of whack a mole to find something these days. New and used stock is very limited. Going new, could be a wait, used will pay almost, if not the same as new. I’ve had 2 Foresters and will say the cost compared to Crosstrek is about the same. The advantages of the forester is better...

Ok folks. When we bought our house, it already had a Rainfresh system. A double filter thingy under the kitchen sink for drinking water and another single job down at the meter. Looking at replacement filters, it is $42 for one under the kitchen, $29 for the one by the meter and the ceramic...

Reacher was decent. The character and story was good and interesting. Some of the character development could have taken less time. If you like the first couple of episodes, you’ll get to the end just fine. If you get distracted with something else half way through, it might not hold you to the...

Homeland was a tough watch at times but, man it really was a great show from beginning to end. Not a pop corn show but, had its Hollywood elements. It still kept it “real” despite the comical political elements portrayed. It doesn’t happen often where a show gets to end on its own terms with...

I doubt Neil Young listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast. Let’s say, he has and still maintains the thought of removing his music unless Spotify turfs Rogan. Does he really think that little of listeners of Rogan to blindly believe whatever is said on his podcast? What ever happened to the days...

Toronto isn’t known as a destination for most motorcyclist. The same can be said for NYC. It’s more of a fly in and fly out kind of place. I have driven to Boston through NY State and the Interstate was scenic for some of it. But not something I wanted to return with my motorcycle with...

Makes some interesting points on equality and equality of outcome as well as socialism. I think clips without context end up mislabeling him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
