The new V-Strom DL800de sounds like a great bike! For me the lack of cruise control and having tubed tires would stop me from getting it. If they offer a version with cruise and tubeless I would certainly consider it. I would have to ride it for sure as it is quite possible that, as much as I...

Got out for a little ride today. I didn't go far as there was snow drifts covering the roads in some places. Not fun on the bike but crossing them was uneventful. ..Tom

I sure did! Left the province thee times. In May to Tail of the dragon for an annual meet up, then down to Key West and New Orleans. (That completed riding my bikes to all the lower 48 states.) In July to Alaska, (Anchorage and Seward). In September a short day trip as far as a bit west of...

Thursday eve I was heading from my ride to Alaska and there was about 20 Hell's Angels at a Timmies I was stopping at in Parry Sound. In person they were pleasant enough. ..Tom

Try "Pete's Superbike". You have to setup and account with them (no charge) to get prices. Even with shipping have been very good prices. ..Tom

Was out yesterday, not far maybe 250 km. Saw two cruiser's (I think they were) heading onto country Rd 57 north not far from hwy 35. Other than that didn't see anyone. Dropped off my bike at my dealer for some sceduled maint and a couple of minor issues. With luck will be picking up soon. ..Tom

Fwiw I went out for a little ride yesterday. Just a little loop of about 100 km. My bike thermometer stopped reading below -10⁰c and just said cold but my GPS said -12 (from its weather app.) Nice to get out! ..Tom

I will definately be going through the Yukon to get to Alaska. If time permits I(or if the border is closed) l'll take a side trip to NWT. ..Tom

If the Border's open and no overwhelming conditions I'll need Shane down at that event in May. After that I'll head down to Florida Keys. After that New Orleans I Louisiana. That will compete my map having ridden my bikes to all the lower 48 States and all the 10 provinces. Then in July I'm...

My First Russel Day Long (RDL) was on my 2015 V-Strom 1000. I loved riding with it! Unfortunately it wouldn't fit on my 2020 V-Strom 1050 so I ordered a new one for the 1050. The RDL just makes butt fatigue a non- issue for me no matter how long or far I ride. ..Tom
