    Negative antigen tests for border crossing as of Feb 28

    Just wanted to say big Thank You @Robbo I was at Vegas last week of the old rules, and had to do rapid test before flying back to YYZ... All local places were charging US$160 for it (and I checked tons of them)... I went with www.medionerx.com and it worked out perfectly. It's a really well...

    Travel Insurance for the States

    I'm heading to states soon, and will rent a car there... My credit card covers vehicle insurance, but not liability... I thought I had that coverage under my car insurance here, but turns out I don't (should have been more careful when I switched companies). Should I just buy rental company's...

    Knock-off Airhawk seat

    I've read the reviews on this before I bought it, and knew it shouldn't be fully inflated - I would say mine is 30% inflated... All chambers are connected, and while individually they look almost flat, when weight is spread across the whole pad, it works as intended. Shape of my stock seat is...

    Knock-off Airhawk seat

    I use it when touring, and it works pretty good - rode with it for 2 full seasons now. I only used air (didn't attempt to fill it with water, don't see the point). Still working OK, It lost tiny bit of air during this time, not enough to require top-up. I was worried when I rode in jeans with...

    Helmet camera for daily use

    Drift Ghost XL does about 8 hours of recording on a single charge, verified. Couple of days worth or riding can fit on one SD card. It works well as a "dashcam", but footage is nowhere near GoPro in terms of image stabilization and quality... (and this is an understatement). It is easier to...

    Anyone have an interesting off-season project?

    Sounds like you're looking at new cars - if older are a consideration, Scion XB is probably the best. YouTube: RegularCars Scion XB

    Flying Squirrel aka OTOMOTO (update)

    That doesn't sound good - you are right... And also, web site running on wix (barely running, that is)... Frustrating experience from the start. It's a cool business concept, and I hope they make it... No hate from me, just hope they get to work on some of these issues...

    What GPS & mount do you run or are you a phone or paper map rider?

    I have a zumo 660 - I somehow lost the battery and battery cover, so it's been sitting for a while now (have original cradle + suction cup mount)... If anyone needs it, let me know...

    East Coast and Newfoundland in June 3 weeks

    Photo like the one above is all you see on Gross Morne brochures - but only way to get to top of the fjord is to book a guided tour with Clem... It was sold out when I was there, and didn't do it. Boat tour of West Brook Pond - pre-book it and do it - it is the next best thing. Technically, you...

    East Coast and Newfoundland in June 3 weeks

    I did NL last year. It was unusually cold (it never got over 15c). Did both ferries overnight - when you're on the road, it is good to catch a break... Cabins on the ferry sell out really fast, definitely book ahead if you want one. Also, my ferry was 10 hours late leaving Argentia (rough seas...

    Stealth camping and bears

    Perhaps that was just luck, and nothing to do with effectiveness of fireworks trick... I don't know... Also, isn't bear spray more effective than firearm?

    Sport touring tires

    I second Metzler Roadtec - for exactly the type of riding you're talking about (sport-touring, loaded and not taking it easy). I've used them for years, served me well in every aspect. These were always Made in Germany, now - last set I got are Made in China... It made me question Metz, but...

    Modular / Flip Up Helmets

    I got one - I so wanted this helmet to work, but you get what you pay for... List of features is impressive, but build quality isn't the greatest... sun visor keeps getting stuck in half-position, locking chin-bar is a bit tricky - sometimes it feels like it's locked, but it isn't and sometimes...

    Canadian Rider Comes Home to Shock!

    Reason? They don't need a reason, they can make anything up and you have no choice. That's the bottom line. Why are we paying so much at the pumps when crude is down? Same reason.

    Canadian Rider Comes Home to Shock!

    How about "3rd party only" insurance on a bike - some bikes see less than 1000 clicks in a year, and how much damage/injury do they cause to 3rd party compared to, well, any other motor vehicle on the road? Yet, most increases are in this portion of your insurance... Your mandatory portion of...

    Anyone else out still riding on the nice days?

    On Saturday, I was going North on 400 (heading to "mountain" to ski) and saw someone on red bike, full gear going South... Couldn't make out the model, but it sure was nice to see. Kudos to all of you still riding.

    Inching towards killing the moto industry in the GTA

    There were no real SS 30 years ago, I'm talking 20+, but regardless your inflation numbers seem high (it should be less than 2k according to my numbers), and nowhere near what insurance is charging today...
