    2021 Day Trips!

    I remember a similar or perhaps longer sign somewhere east of 41 perhaps on 509 around Plevna? I haven't been out there in a couple of years now and my memory is fading to say the least.

    Lakeshore Road - Bond Head to Port Granby Repaved

    Looking for a cooler ride home along the lake today and to my surprise found much newly paved and wide roadway.

    Prince Edward County

    Be sure to visit Lake on the Mountain and see the lake sitting above you and Picton Bay far below. The Glenora ferry runs frequently, about every half hour I think and it's free. Enjoy a leisurely ride to Napanee or even Kingston and back.

    Wind on highway

    Highway riding with crosswinds and buffeting, in addition to the techniques already mentioned here, I try to keep my speed up as fast and as steady as I can get away with. I genuinely feel more stable. I'm sure some physicist could answer or maybe just my personal placebo?

    Motorcycle Happy Place

    On a hot day when your 1200GS ADV bike gets stuck, falls over on a sandy track at the bottom of a steep hill and as you're sitting on the ground trying to figure out how you're gonna get out of this mess, a pickup truck appears over the top of the hill.

    New BMW ?

    If it's an R1250RT, there have been several production and delivery issues that have particularly upset US buyers who've been waiting a very long time. Canada has actually been better off although I understand there was a port strike at Montreal that might have threatened deliveries. The chip...

    2021 Day Trips!

    Are you sure? Haven't been by there in a while but I think it might be just west of Westney Road possibly Sideline 12 a bit north of Concession 9. Next time I'm in the area I'll check just to satisfy my memory.

    Buying gear from Europe

    I've made several purchases from Europe over the years. In each case the transaction has worked well. Shipping in every case was through DHL who seem to be the company of choice from there. Items arrived in about the same time as what it would have been coming from the US. I don't remember...

    TAFB/Jamie

    I just made the connection between the person I followed on this forum as johnscruiser and the Jamie I had the pleasure of interacting with many times in daily life. I am stunned. He was one of those truly brilliant and unique people that you might come across in a lifetime. Both hardworking and...

    BMW Service/Warranty Options For Former Endras Customers

    Just to close the loop on this, I went to Maranello for service after booking well in advance and I'm a very satisfied customer. They were able to do the front brake caliper replacement recall as well as the normal 20k km service. Friendly and professional.

    Eye Lens Replacement

    I had multi-focal lens replacements in both eyes about three years ago due to cataracts. I'm very pleased with the results as I no longer require glasses which to me is a great benefit for riding and helmet wearing. BUT personally, I would never have had it done if I hadn't needed cataract...

    Self-storage units that accept motorcycles?

    I just rented a unit from Access Storage. As part of the rental process you are asked to provide your ownership and insurance information. Overall it was a good experience and they have no problem with motorcycles.

    Lightcycle's New Ride

    Sorry. I've just realized that I've added to your confusion by being confused myself. I believe I had the "Comfort" term in my head from the 2012 GS I owned previously and I think it used that term. The 2019 RT uses MIN, AUTO and MAX for pre-load and uses ROAD, DYNA for damping. ROAD and MIN...

    Lightcycle's New Ride

    Not sure is your GS is the same, but my RT has a "Comfort" setting on the ESA that'll give you more ground reach, a nice cushy ride on your heated butt. That's if you decide to ride on pavement every once in a while of course.

    city vs. country vs. 400 series riding - risk level

    I agree with this. On the major divided highways everyone's travelling in the same direction with no intersections to worry about where cagers can make left turns in front of you, or into you. Ride either ahead or behind vehicles in the adjacent lanes as much as you can.
