Hey Clutt, I think I saw you with your setup last week (Thursday?) You were heading east on #2. I was stopped at Durham 42 on a WR250R. A guy at work here has a similar setup on his V-Strom. Works great.

If your battery was so low that it wouldn't turn your starter at all, I can't see how 5 minutes of idling and then 10 minutes on a tender would be enough to fully re-charge it. You'll want to load test your battery before you spend the money on a new one. If your battery tests good, start...

I believe Sargeant Pepper had just taught the band to play.

Thanks for taking this on Mike. I would really like to see insurance tied to the rider, not the bike. Having 3 bikes, it seems fair that I pay the highest rate of the 3, and then just comprehensive on the other two.

I totally agree. I'm fortunate enough to have 3 bikes insured and on the road. One of them is a 2008 Yamaha WR250R. It's the slowest one I own, but it's surprising how often I choose to ride it instead of the others. (2012 Yamaha FZ8, 1978 Suzuki GS1000)

I get mine at TSC. You buy the original bottle, and then pay every time to exchange it for a full one. I don't think there are any TSC stores in the city, but I believe the bottles are supplied to TSC by Praxair. Maybe look into Praxair suppliers? https://www.tscstores.com/Gases-Cylinders-C710.aspx

I sold a different bike, so I'm going to keep this one for now.

Sold.

Hey folks, I'm not having much luck selling my old Suzuki, so I'll try to sell my Kawasaki. I really don't need 2 vintage bikes. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/oshawa-durham-region/1974-kawasaki-s3/1358882755?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Hey guys and gals, I'm paying too much insurance on too many bikes that I can't ride enough right now. I'm trying to sell my GS1000. If it doesn't sell, I'll drain the fuel and put a cover on it and leave it in the corner of my shop. I would prefer to see it go someone who will enjoy it...

This times 1000! In my opinion, the Mazda would be a better choice. I bought my wife a super cutesy, bright red 2006 Miata for our 25th anniversary. I knew it was a "chick's car" when I bought it, but it was for her, not me. What I didn't expect was how much I would LOVE this car. It's not a...

I'm guessing they put the wrong photo in their ad. The photo is definitely a wr250r, but the description reads like a wr250f. The msrp for a wr250f is $9449.

Sold.

This was an item I bid on at a silent auction. (I don't know why. I have 3 licensed and insured bikes of my own that I don't ride enough.) My winning bid was $170. I'm not looking to make any money, but if I can't get my $170 back, I'll use the rental myself. The voucher is for the bike of your...

If you have the tools and know-how to remove the tire and patch it yourself, and if money is a bit tight, I would go ahead and patch it. I have full confidence in a patch. (not so much with a string plug) If you have to take it to a shop, I would definitely be replacing the tire. At 4000km...

This is the only place that I know of. http://trailtours.ca/

Good news for sure!

Thanks for the reply Iceman. I'll check out odsc. I'm still a bit unclear about oftr and exactly what trails it allows me to ride... Victoria Rail Trail? Northumberland Forest?

Let's hope it"s the business.

Hey folks, I just picked up a WR250R dual sport this year to try some trail riding. I've ridden snowmobiles for years and all you need is an OFSC pass and you can legally ride any snowmobile trail in Ontario. This doesn't seem to be the case with motorcycle trail riding. I will be getting a...
