Always use to get my tires from Pete’s Superbike when I was going through 2 or 3 sets a season. I’d order them online and they would be on my doorstep a day or two later, can’t beat their prices and convenience. GP Bikes prices are pretty good too.However, that was when I did my own tire swaps...
I don’t think you would want to do the Dempster highway on an FJ1300 , at least I wouldn’t. It’s a long stretch of pretty rough road. I don’t think you could get up to speed on a big heavy bike like that.The FJ just wasn’t made for roads like that.
Can you actually drive / ride to Tuktoyaktuk in the summer? I drove to Inuvik in 1986 and you had to fly in to Tuktoyaktuk, about a 20 minute flight. You could only drive in on an ice road during the winter. Warning, the bugs are absolutely brutal along the Dempster, avoid breakdowns or running...
That’s a pretty good deal. A lot of shops don’t want anything to do with youif you didn’t buy the tires from them and understandably so.
i already sold it.
I always had good luck with the Yuasa batteries that come with most new Japanese bikes probably because they’re also made in Japan. I always got at least five years out of them.The replacement Yuasa batteries I was getting from GP Bikes were made in the USA and I typically got about 3 years out...
That Rabaconda looks pretty slick.I had a Nomar Classic setup along with one of their balancers. It was a nice solid unit built to last a lifetime. I had it anchored to the garage floor so not very portable. The Rabaconda looks like it would be perfect for soft sport bike tires at the track, I‘d...
Had a nice new Craftsman snowblower about ten years ago, neighbor borrowed it and broke a shear pin. He replaced it with a grade 8 nut and bolt without telling me. Next day I use it to clear the frozen windrow at the end of my driveway.I’m really biting into some ice and the impeller and auger...
I saw Super Joe Einhorn brake the world indoor record, jumping I don’t know how many cars at the International Centre. He did it two nights in a row so it couldn’t have been that hard. Howard Cosell and Evel Knievel were there the first night as commentators for Wide World of Sports. I was there...
I just tried to play a Neil Young song out in my garage and realized that he pulled his catalog from Spotify, so not exactly a perfect set up. Some might disagree.
I’ve ridden a few H2s back in the day and the ’72 was definitely the best year. Each year they got noticeably slower due to carburation and exhaust changes to meet emisions. My brother had a real nice ‘72 with chambers and K+N pod filters that had the carbs set up by someone that really knew...
I had a pair of old school Mission bookshelf speakers and recently picked up a like new Yamaha amp with Bluetooth for $100 on Kijiji.Got an unlimited amount of music and podcasts on Spotify without having to swap out cd’s with my greasy hands.Best $100 I’ve ever spent.Does anyone still use cd’s ?
