Lol Am I the only one confused by the ”it’s only a garage project“ I put the good stuff in the garage. Or in my clients homes. go Blum and do it once. garage may not see the frequency but definitely gets its share of weight and general abuse. Imo

It was a new bike weekend at our house again. This time for Kaitlyn. Stoped into cycle life in Port Perry for some upgraded pedals and grips on the road trip home. We picked the bike up in Bracebridge at The purple bike store. It’s a Giant Trance JR26

Nope not a boxer but she trail rides mountain Bikes in durham forest with me. As for the boots, I ride an adventure bike so an off-road style boot is not completely out of place looks wise. It’s also about the best protective foot wear you could ask for that’s available In kids sizes. Also...

? luggage for the win again. I’ve gone to pick up my daughter from grandmas unexpectedly on the bike. I had her helmet, pair of jeans, gloves, motorcycle jacket, and Mx boots. She geared up while I stuffed over nite bag, and a pillow and 4 dozen eggs for the ride home.

I have the older more rugged ugly sister. 2015 1190 adventure I have been considering trading in for a Super Duke GT but keep coming back to the only thing it will be better at than my current ride is landing me in jail with no license. I love the Super Duke R but absolutely need luggage and the...

My uncle just finished dropping a 468 fuel injected big block in his 68 chevelle. Next on the to do list his wife’s BMW 3 series is getting a 383 stroker small block ChevyV8.

Sport bike guys poke fun all the time at the Pirate costume HD riders. I don’t get it. What about the pirate Honda VTX riders? Hey street Rossi do you really think you look any less ridiculous walking In stiff riding boots down a beach or sidewalks in your one piece leathers with the jacket tied...

If it’s the Harley you guys hate so much maybe this is more your thing.

Sometimes I even take a spare bike. All my MTB gear fits in the hard panniers and provides lockable storage for boots and Motorcycle gear while on the trail. Helmet just gets a cable lock to the frame. No it dose not affect handling unless you are riding way way above the limits of HTA.

Honestly I tried. :( A few weeks back I was on my way to Durham forest to go mountain biking. Loaded up the bike and was running a bit behind. Headed out of Bowmanville up to Taunton rd and west. Was going to jump directly on the 407 to save time but I needed gas. So I followed Taunton on my way...

Did most of your friends have family by the time they were in their mid 30s? I bought my first house in Hastings @ 21years old with my 20 year old high school girl friend. Back in 1997

exactly what I’m saying As you move away the houses get cheaper but the wages drop. example 15 years ago mind you I made 18hr as a licensed carpenter non union working north east Northumberland county. Living in a small house in Hastings fairly comfortable nice truck, good car and nice atv but...

My own father tried to play that card on me. I made a comment ribbing him about selling his Harley Davidson Ultra Classic and now I have no one to ride with. He said ”you sold yours first and I sold mine because you sold yours” I sold my Road Glide to buy an 1190 Adventure I can go anywhere...

Other than a storage unit for my business I have never rented. but if things were different and I was a single guy at my age and didn’t own a home. im saying why bother if that’s the only thing your going to have is that roof over your head. At 50to 60k a year there is not much you are going to...

Looking for other similar bikes makes perfect sense. ie if I’m going riding and you want to ride with me you may not like running down a gravel road on your S1000RR. The Street glide rider might not be able to hang with the 600S/S on a spirited pace. But looking for a certain brand is being a...

So the question If your in your late 30’s And it will literally take everything you can muster up to purchase a home. You will be able to save for the next couple years and make it happen but at that point your house poor With a 25 year mortgage. That puts you in your 60’s when it’s payed off. I...

Even starter homes in Durham region are almost $450,000. Pretty rare to find anything for under $400K Based on what I’ve found he needs something under the $200k range and would still be house poor.

Thats great but is it actually possible? when I did a quick search I came up with “if you make 100k / yr (which he’s 40 short) you should be able to purchase and carry a $250 to 300k home (Good luck) I have found this to be mostly accurate as when I had a job and a $300k house I was pretty much...

Ok this could get long winded. A guy I know is struggling financially in his mind. Can’t seem to let go of the home ownership expectations. Has saved very little if anything. Drives new truck making payment Has new Sea-doo making payment Buys every tool he could ever need for any trade. I mean...

Why is that? It’s small, light, has very rider friendly seating position for shorter rides. Has plenty of power that you shouldn’t get board yet is not uncontrollable. I agree a cbr 250 is a better safer starter bike. My point was of the few bikes that I have ridden it was the easiest to handle...
