Checked in with a few ol'boys that new their way around older English carbureted bike engines after a long absence.
I pulled out my old '68 Triumph Tiger out of storage and now can't find any of my old Buds. The bike was in storage for over 30yrs at my parents place. Seems they all past...
Geez, guys. Take some advice from a guy with over a half century or riding .
Play it safe and keep your focus on the road. I just came off a 300km ride today and one of the guys on a new $5K BMW was constantly on his head phone discussing with his wife the dinner plans tonight ...wtf...
I go on weekly trail rides here in Mississauga and mostly within along the credit river valley. Noi hikers or bicycle folks can easily negotiate the routes so they is no concern for push back.
We usually follow some old abandoned paths to avoid disruption to the area but the latest one...
If the younger crowd that still live in their parent's basement and get fed lots of cheese think they have nothing to lose in the way of riding with no insurance, here's a good one.
A family formally next to me had an underaged kid that crashed the family car into a house. He was charged and...
Had great feedback on my earlier post:
Selling Frenzy

I'm almost 70 with a clean record for over half a century of riding and can't get any definitive feedback on the model their selling...
Geez, why are folks looking to unload their Cruiser's and go-fast bikes?
Kijji is full of ads from folks yet asking stupid high prices.
Maybe an insurance issue that they won't divulge?
A few years ago I had posted on GTAM that there was a local landowner in the area of Limestone Rd and Appleby Line (Cambelleville) that allegedly dumped some loose sand on the inside of a tight bend in the road causing bikers to lose grip or weave unsafely when it was noticed. An empty pail was...
I've been getting updates from two Buds touring Europe this summer. The had their bikes shipped over.
The latest theft scam over there is having an Apple Air Tag placed in a hidden location at a tour company's secured parking lot. So while the folks are on their tour bus, one of the bikes was...
Tried that with a few local but small shops. They have more time to do a good job but I found that they charged more than when busy. Not by a whole lot tho.
Maybe a year end financial balancing thing.
