I just love riding. ..Tom

Damn that scares me! ..Tom

You could call the movie "Bridge over the river ice." or something like that. Wish I could ride a trials bike! (Bad knees and weight make it impractical.) When I was 13 and had my first motorcycle (Honda 90 road bike) I rode it all the time. It weighed almost nothing and was fun in the...

Beautiful ride in to work this Morning! My bike's temperature display stops below -10c but the apps said it was -12c when I left home. Nice clear sky, roads were fine. No Bugs! ..Tom

Maybe to get to a fun road full of twisties where you can play? ..Tom

Yesterday was a nice day riding in. Was fooled by the weather reports this am. Weather spoke of flurries around the GTA heavy in some spots, and "Weather Network's" radar made it look heavy. At -7 that could have lead to ice on the road so I drove. Ultimately the roads were a bit wet in a...

Since I live East of toronto I guess day trips tend to head east. Probably Bancroft and area more than anything but really I can end up anywhere. This spring and summer I explored a lot south of Perth Ontario and also west south and north of Cambridge area down to lake Erie. Long trips tend to...

Welcome! I do much the same mileage. I have been doing over 50,000 km a year for the last few years (although last year with lack of big trips only managed 49,000km.) I ride all year except when there is (or risk of) ice and snow on the roads. ..Tom

For various reasons I don't have access to my bike right now. Hopefully in the nexrt week or two. ..Tom

I checked all the weather last night and this morning. No snow or snow flurries happend overnight, sunny today and temeperatrue in Port Perry around-10°c in the AM but warming closer to freezing later in the day. So I figured I would ride in to work since I was suffering from PMS. (Parked...

I thought about riding today since the overall forecast looked good. There was some snow or rain overnight and about -2 when I left Port Perry. I drove which is good as there was some ice around Port Perry. When I got near work i normally cut through the road the goes around Vaughn Mills Mall...

Myself as well. A few errands and a minor side trip added up to about 120 km. Nice to get out even for the short while. ..Tom

It was a nice -7 when I left home this morning. Beautiful ride in to work in nice dry roads. No bugs! :) ..Tom

No. I run Rotella 5w40 all year round. I have used that oil down to -25°c (Picking up my 2015 DL1000 from the dealership in Late Feb or early January and it sat overnight outside. (It was a cold ride but only about 20km to home.) I also had Rotella 5w40 on my 2006 DL650 running in Death Valley...

I would have taken pics while riding but there was a York Regional police in front of me. (I have a waterproof camera tethered to my front left pocket area that I can use any time even with gloves on. ) ..Tom

It sure looked co on the trees! ( Is that hoar frost?) Where are you located? ..Tom

The bike temperature said -10°c when I was riding in to work today. My experience is the Suzuki temperature displays are about 2 °c optimistic. The Weather network App said it was -14. The GPS said it was -12°c Either way it was as cold as its been this winter so far. I was comfy and warm...

I'm a total wuse! Nowadays I have heated jacket, gloves and socks from "Warm n Safe" and the seat and hand grips are heated as well. :) ..Tom

I love it! I had one on my DL1000 and loved it so much I bought one for the 1050. Expensive but to me well worth it! ..Tom

I got that topcase a couple of years ago. The tank bag has only been on the 1050. ..Tom
