when I did my second ride to Alaska last year, I stayed off the t can and rode south on 13 or 1 or whatever.....through the small Prarie towns and it really changed the whole attitude. it' a nice diversion, if nothing else, gives you something to look at, change gears a bit, cruise through...

So....thinking of doing this ride. Haven' been yet. Looking at my paper map!!!!!! I was thinking of breaking up the slab ride deeking off 70 now and then onto a lesser parallel route. Anything that is about a 40 min ride or so off the superhighway. Would this be a waste of my time or a nice...

I agree with the above poster. the Honda cb would be perfect plus you are a beginner and insurance could be a deal killer when you shop around for quotes. A smaller bike will give you a much better learning experience especially in the twisties/ corners. Any squid can twist a throttle and go...

Where did the video go that was posted earlier?

What I have done with my bike for extra fuel is 2 msr canisters like you can get at sail with the black screw tops, then simple water bottle carries, again at sail, 5 bucks I believe. I fill the canisters, slide them into the velco holders, then firmly zip tie each bottle to the lower rail of my...

I would hardly call that road trip..”epic”. Author must not get out much.

I actually DID enjoy the ride down through the keys on my bike a couple years ago. I decided to ride down to key west on a whim. It’s much easier to pass the tourists on a bike, obviously, since it’s a two laner all the way down.

Honda is out, no more test rides. It’s official. But I wonder if they will come to horizons unlimited? Last year Honda and bmw were there. HU is obviously a different crowd than a regular test ride clientele. Everybody is a experienced rider. Although......a experienced rider may not be quite...

I appreciate the replys but I gotta side with gene here. 100 bucks,150 bucks, this is not a small amount of money.Dayum, you guys got coin! Looking up via now.....cheapest is "escape" at 35 bucks from port hope,seems to be cheaper from cobourg. Earliest train is 7.00 am-ish. Train is about 1...

Ottawa is at least 3 hours away. I have been looking at allegiant out of Ogdensburg but it looks like they don' fly to ft. Lauderdale anymore much less Miami. and with the Canadian dollar dropping, those super cheap flights from the states become much more expensive once you convert currency...

pardon my manners.....thank you gatekeeper.....

there are very few transport options from where I live. or any cost effective transport options. if I end up taking a 6.00 am flight that will just make things even more complicated. I would have had a little extra money if I didn' need a root canal....and just had a difficult tooth...

My first grandkid was born y.day and now I need to get down to south of Miami. I will be looking to go down towards the end of April. I am considering riding down, which I have done before,but this time I may fly instead. a couple of the flights I have looked at leave very early in the am so...

Got a linky to the "poor guy with the honda" thread? Sounds interesting. I'm not a NooB btw. I don't post much. I saw that I have been here since 07...151 posts lol. I'm busy riding! I was interested in the bike for the price point considering where I was planning to take it. Any of the...

I already informed the seller I’m out.

It was the MTO Ontario who gave the info about structural safety for a bike. I was VERY SPECIFIC to them I was talking about a motorcycle. Funny how one office can actually call you back in very short order and another is passing on erroneous information.

I did call another MTO office and they didn’t have the information at hand, they promised to call me back once they found out. Suprise!!, someone actually did call me back, like within 10 minutes! Ya gotta love the small rural offices. She confirmed anything coming into ontario that that has...

in Ontario? All imported motorcycles previously branded "Salvage," "Rebuilt" or an equivalent brand are branded "Irreparable" when registered in Ontario. This means that the vehicle will never be eligible to be driven on Ontario roads. The regular green vehicle permit is still issued. A permit...

We ride motorcycles, its part of the adventure of motorcycling. Fly n rides are fun. Interesting since i was specific when I talked with the MTO. I think another phone call to a different office is warranted.

I’m looking at a good deal on a bike out east. The bike has a rebuilt title. I called the MTO and spoke with them,they said since the bike already has been labelled rebuilt, the structural safety has already been done in that province, all it would need here is the basic safety and it would be...
