SAS Rogue Heros has been enjoyable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A lot of armchair QBs can express their opinions of EM. I think it’s easy to be a critic until you walk in the other person’s shoes. I’m sure EM is feeling it and I’m sure his intent was good. But I also think a lot of folks who rise to a certain level do the same. Then stuff happens and...

To me, it’s always been a matter of patience. If you research the bike you are looking for and get a feel for price points, then you’ll notice a deal that is worth pursuing. And sometimes letting folks know what you’re looking for and word gets around and someone reaches out to let you know...

Interestingly the USA has FIXED 30 YEAR RATE mortgages. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Indiana seems to be the state where most of the big name manufactures RVs come from. So generally speaking, the assembly and quality, warranties are about the same depending on price point etc. So it comes down to what you like, how it looks to you and the layout and features you can’t live...

@brian p has your annual mileage gone down using EV? Or is travel still limited by the pandemic? I’m back in the saddle for work and travelling by vehicle again. Not as much as before but, still pretty heavy. If I had an EV, there would be some planning ahead of just jumping in the car and...

For most folks that have a gas lawn mower, the same principles apply. I wouldn’t get too deep in the weeds over thinking it. Protect it from the elements the best you can. Keep it away from rodents/squirrels that will load it with chestnuts, build a nest, leave crap etc. If you have a bike...

Kids in the Hall return on Amazon has been a trip. Now I want to watch the back catalog again. Canada’s Monty Python Troop does not disappoint. But it’s certainly not everyone’s cuppa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is my area of employment. Doesn’t make me an expert though. It’s really a combo between the banks and the credit card companies adding more revenue streams for “services” to retailers/consumers. The banks want the loyalty programs to create some stickiness with customers and the credit...

How much riding did you do from time of purchase to time of front tire replacement? If it was relatively low and been riding on a balding front tire and recently changed it, the difference is night and day. Check tire pressure when cold and not right after a ride. Otherwise, your bike is...

I’d rather a restored 60s or early 70s commando anyways. Relatively affordable, fun to ride at legal speeds and needs a little love to keep it going. That’s all the nostalgia I need. Triumph has done a great job of modernizing retro classics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s cooling the market is rising interest rates. No more cheap money from your line of credit and the value of your house going down has sobered up folks from throwing caution to the wind for toys. The perfect storm was high demand and low supply related to supply chain issues. Things...

Harley has a line of gear tagged FXRG for their top line for both men and women. Usually weatherproof and has removable armour. It does get expensive. Most HD riders I know avoid the labels and stick with good gear. Many ride even ride with FF helmets etc. I’ve had HD jackets that were...

This is hardly a 60 minutes investigative segment but, I think there are some elements to consider. With the focus on fossil fuels being bad and climate change being bad, is mining for the materials for batteries and the energy required to recycle them as well as some emissions during the...

Niagara Falls is popular but, the actual ports of travel are not. Cost to ride the ferry plus parking or transport to the ferry port. Port Weller, you still need to get to tourist spots, wineries. , NoTL etc. Does either ferry port have public transit or sufficient parking? Is the cost of...

I find a pop up easier than actual tents imo. If it’s raining, you should have a rain coat and prepare for the possibility anyways. Even a tag along trailer you will have some outside tasks to do before hook up and driving off. Wheel chocks, stabilizer jacks, power cord, grey water drain hose...

The advantages being? I’m sure you can have the vehicle ownership changed to a corporation. Not sure if insurance will be any better and then you are likely needing to ride the bike for business purposes. A friend of mine makes small trailers and his HD Ultra was under his business and used...

Admittedly we camp locally and no more than a week. When I see others with kids, it’s generally weekends. Many are in minivans with pop ups or small trailers but, I don’t think they travel too far. Pop ups get you off the ground for sleeping but, if it’s raining and stuck inside, it can be a...

Pop up is the way to go in terms of sleeping quarters and towing with a minivan. Hybrid like a Rockwood Roo would also be something to consider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As the calendar is about to tick past 2022, I find there is more and more folks trying to state a point of view that is unique and profound beyond anyone else. Who cares? Ride it or wrench it. Ride it, park it and throw your credit card for more shop work or Farkles. Motorcycle riders like...
