I'm in. Could meet in Orillia, or Minden if you run that route in reverse.

Shane, I think I have some spare D30 shoulder and elbow pads lying around. I'll double-check, but if I'm right, you can have them if you come pick them up. I'll PM you a bit later with details.

Blue and black body with gold forks...

So, what with the pandemic, I've been stuck inside like everyone else. Some insane Australian put togeter a turbo kit for the Niken, and I decided to slap it on and see what happened. Today was the inaugural run, after confirming that everything works. And good lord, does the turbo ever make a...

This thread is 32% of why I am still with GTAM. I hope we can all keep this thread preserved for future generations. I'd like to be on my deathbed, my family around me, sharing a laugh about axel sticks...

Well, this bike is up at the cottage, so taking it to RT is not going to work. Also, since Oomis Jr. is riding the bike, I'm being very, very particular. I do all my own work, and I think I'm pretty thorough, but I want a mechanic who is going to be picky, since that's the kind of mechanic who...

Not true. There are plenty of hacks out there to get around this, though none that I'm willing to try right now. Also BMW has a system on their GS1200/1250 that allows tubeless with spoked wheels. I have a GS1200 with both a set of cast and wire wheels on which I have tubeless tires on both...

I just picked up a 2011 DRZ400SM with about 18k kms for what I thought was a decent price. However, I got it home and so much work has to be done to it to get it to be safetied... the PO was hamfisted with every bolt I've put my hands on. Went to change the rear sprocket back to the 44T stock...

Gonna go ahead and get better at both yoga and motorcycling before I add that to my list.... :ROFLMAO:

In other news, there’s a turbo kit and a Yamaha Niken waiting for me in my garage when I get back. Self-quarantine is going to be very productive.

Yesterday morning at sunrise, the family laid Linda’s ashes to rest at Bean Point on Anna Maria Island in Florida. It was one of her favourite places. Pandemic be damned, we drove down from the Great White North. No ceremony. No words. Just the sunrise, the tears, the family and the complicated...

Gene, I’ll look up that book. Why didn’t you suggest it to me earlier? :ROFLMAO: My story is in another thread, but my life was certainly altered. Lost my wife, lost almost 3 years of my life (so far), 18 months in the hospital, 12 surgeries in 12 months and the entire left side of my body is...

Good advice. I'd add that where there are rivers, the roads tend to be fun as well. If you can find mountains and rivers, that's usually twisty gold.

TL / DR I bought a new bike, and you don't like it. Last year when on a trip down to the Dragon, I rode past a motorcycle rental outfit that had a Yamaha Niken. I had seen pictures of them and seen one at a motorcycle show, but had never seen one in the wild. The opportunity to rent one for a...

Hola folks. I don't have the right words to express my gratitude for folks looking for an update. It really means a lot. BED is right, I do appreciate it. I'm doing ok. My physical condition has stabilized, and yoga is helping. The pain is still a problem, but I'm managing it. It sucks, but I'm...

I have a longstanding project I'm looking to get finished, but one outstanding thing is the seat. I'm not looking for anything complicated, but the seat has to be removeable or lift somehow because the bolts for the seat pan are right where the seat should be. Anyone have any recommendations?

#@$* it, I'm headed out tomorrow for a wander. 4 or 5 days south-ish into PA / WV with no firm plans. Medium to brisk pace, aiming for back roads and twisties. Kickstand up @ 5 am. Anyone want to join me?
