Where do you live? I have a nice route from Oakville that meanders around the Burlington and Waterdown area if you wanted - it’s about 3 hours long and you can stop all along it if you see things you find interesting. That’s the route I do if I don’t have time for a ride up north.

That GS isn't that bad. After all, BMW did make this:

Simonize here has lasted 20 years here. Simple and amazing durability.

Sorry lol I’m hanging out with my wife tonight

You want to spend more quality time with her and am buying a bike that she will be comfortable on. But first you need to do a fly and ride to see if it's a good match for you.

For sure will do.

Appt booked for 2 weeks from now and have a nice route to get there by mid-afternoon:)

All the VStroms are pretty good Mile Muncher’s. I rode out to BC on my 650 and regularly moved at 140 and no issues. The 650’s will drink a bit more gas at that speed but the engines will take it for 200k no problem.

Rare indeed! One of these days I need to do a ride towards Niagara region and stitch together as many twisty bits between Burlington there and see how fun it is.

Went for a short ride to check out how the new rear shock feels. Been a while since I rode the Ancaster, Dundas and Waterdown backroads - they were quite nice!

My last bike (VStrom 650) was set up at Accelerated Technologies in summer of 2020. It had an Elka shock that was mint and they upgraded the forks for me and set the bike up. Took a few rides to get used to but once I did, it felt great on all kinds of riding. I took my laptop up there and...

I would totally be down for someone to show me how to do it properly, so I can tweak it as my riding style changes from commuting to spirited to long distance to 2up.

Thanks and I need to do this on my bike and have a wheel chock. Never done that before myself either, so that will help nd hopefully my wife can too. Today with all the rain and not riding for the weekend, I finally installed the Wilbers shock I bought last year. I generally like the way the...

Mimico V-strom

Myself and @danp did this last year. It was a blast and tons of fun. I think it was 214km between stations. Post #16 in this ride report has the #389 in it. 2023 Ride Report - North Shore of St. Lawrence Any questions - just ask.

Me too - I’m supposed to bring burgers home tonight and said it would be Woody’s in Etobicoke!

That’s a different bike - the FZ6R. I don’t know much about them other than the FZ6 is supposed to be more powerful. Some people complain it’s too high revving for any real power. I also like that undertail exhaust. Lots of people who have had the FZ6 were quite happy with them. Seems like a...

Yeah you could use it as a basecamp for 2-3 nights for sure to explore a 200km radius from that spot. You can also include the parkway in part of a route heading south, so at least you can get a feel for what section is like between Roanoke and Boone. I'm not sure what kind of bike you ride or...
