So I'm hoping to get a GPS in the $400 range and a headset in the $250 range. It's looking like Zumo for the GPS is the crowd favorite but then it's a matter of which model? As for the headset sounds like Sena and Cardo are the two best, but again, so many models to choose from. It's all...

Mods please delete. This is a duplicate question I forgot I asked a week or so ago. Oops!

So I'm old school and up to now have managed to get around using paper maps or pulling over to check my phone, memorizing a part of my route and going again. I'm thinking about finally getting a proper GPS that will be wired to the bike so I have unlimited power. My question is, what do I get...

I'm registered and have raised over $300 and counting! This will be my 26th Ride for Sight!

This looks like a hoot! So they're just racing heavily modified dirt bikes? I can't seem to find much info on the CMSBK site or on the school site other than it says they're "mini" race bikes and that they are provided by the school.

I can't wait! This is my 25th year attending the Ride for Sight! Love being a part of team GTAM!

He's a great dude. So sorry he's hurt. Will do what I can to help out.

I put a set of Givi E41's and a V46 top box on my Bandit back in 2010 and it's hard to imagine life without luggage. I've had a Honda ST1300 for a few years now and the first thing I did was cannibalize the top box off the Bandit before I sold it and mount in on my ST! Most of the time they...

Problem was the town voted no but the State and Governor refused to close the state or cancel anything. It would have been impossible for the town to stop the riders from coming without the State backing them. The Governor however was only looking at the dollar signs. I don't remember what...

A few that come to mind are the Kirkfield Lift Lock, the Big Chute Marine Railway, The giant Twoonie in Campbellford, The Peterborough Lift Lock and the Giant Transformer statues in Port Hope. All are easily reached on a day ride from Toronto. If you want to go the other way you can go see...

I am man. The world is my urinal.

This was my route through Algonquin Park and back home on Sunday. Not one cop the whole trip. Almost no traffic all day (except for 10 bike Harley train on 118 with a chase car who were apparently doing a charity ride) The roads were all in pretty good shape with the exception of a few kms of...

Well one thing you can do is get those sill warning stickers off the fuel tank!

Literally ANY tent is a good moto-camping tent as long as it packs up small! I have had the same 7x7 "3 man" tent since 1998. I bought it at Walmart on sale and it has survived 20 trips to Ride for Sight as well as several other non-moto camping trips. It is 2 poles and a rain fly so set...

I'm even putting off travel to Quebec for the time being as their Covid numbers are still worst in the country. I was considering riding the Gaspe this summer but not so sure now. I work with vulnerable seniors so I have to be extra careful about where I go and what I do for now. Iceland has...

Yes, the Ride for Sight 2020 is still on! The date has been moved to September 18-20 in beautiful Fenelon Falls. Check the site for all the details. There should be an official post here soon. https://www.rideforsight.com/ontario-central The best/easiest way to fundraise is to set up your...

I had a set of Pirelli Angel's on my Bandit and LOVED them. I got excellent cornering feedback and confidence from them and they got very good mileage.

You might have some luck with non-SS bikes in the 600cc category like the Suzuki Bandit 600 or a Yamaha FZ6, maybe a Kawasaki Versys 650 or a Suzuki Vstrom 650, but chances are it's still going to cost more than he wants to pay/can pay to ride. He may just have to enjoy the 390 for a few more...

I have seen all kinds at Ride for Sight over the years! As we say, what happens at Ride STAYS at Ride! However I do know these two. One is a buddy and the other is a buddy's son-in-law.

Let it be known, Ride for Sight 2020 WILL happen! In the coming days it will be decided if they will stay with the original June 12-14 date or if the event will be rescheduled for later in the summer but as I said, it WILL happen. Stay tuned to the website rideforsight.com of follow them on...
