d-bags are drawn to vw for some reason... I really did notice it for many years now, and I did own one. There are morons in all sorts of cars/trucks/bikes and bicycles, no question about it, but turds are high-density vw owners. Speaking of Lion Safari - few years ago I took relatives/kids...

And another dangerous spot in the area: If you are on 427 south off-ramp to Queensway - there's NO RIGHT ON RED at Queensway that is super easy to miss, and cops are there often (easy $ for them).

Naah man, he goes by Caitlyn now.

Re: If you GPS map on a computer to device read this. In RouteConverter, there is a list of points on the right of the screen. You can select individual point in the list and move it to start or end of the list, or wherever it needs to be. (you can even split a point, add new point in specific...

Good reminder. In my case, 2 cagers almost took me out within 15 minutes on QEW/403 yesterday. Maserati and a pickup truck, abrupt lane changes (into my lane) - didn't look... Be careful out there, and please - don't be a clown (seen many of those too)...

Mounted in wrong direction? I'd imagine you would notice that when you inspected it... Arrow pointing in the right direction (rotation)?

Many bikes have r/r and stator issues. Check things in this order: 1. battery 2. r/r (there are videos on YT that will show you how to test it) if it's bad, it could under-charge or over-charge your battery - overcharging is worse, and it could kill your battery... replacing battery only in...

There are already many free programs for PC (Tyre, RoutepPlanner, GPSbabel...) that do pretty much the same thing. Some of those may have osx version (I just gave up on my iMac). I use RoutePlanner to create GPX route for OsmAnd, and also to display recorded tracks (OsmAnd records those as...

I was considering Zumo... For my latest trip (east coast) I had my car GPS since it was already wired and mounted, and my Android phone running osmand free version - held by Ram X-mount and streaming into Cardo Scala. Phone option isn't perfect, but it worked well enough that I am now sure I...

Adrian is stand up guy - down to Earth, no nonsense, no attitude and definitely knows his stuff. Shop is pristine too! Totally agree with crankcall. Funny enough, right after I picked up my bike from Ace, i had to go over to another (somewhat local) moto parts store to drop ~ $400 on few...

Good to know - I bought it from CM as well... Once it arrived, I wasn't so sure about it... No flap over zipper, openings for pockets on the pants... Haven't used it yet, and didn't give me much confidence looking at it... but if it works, that's all it matters... My technic 2 piece suit worked...

Guys from tractionerag are organizing East Coast bike transport. It would work for your schedule - they pickup bikes from around GTA, and you pick it up in Halifax on 24th and drop it off again on the 31st. Nice way of riding and seeing East Coast...

Also, if you your footwear isn't waterproof, you can "wear" subway plastic bags over your socks...

I did it last year, this was my write-up (more of a thread hijack): http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?184320-Lake-Superior-Ride-(IBA) TLDR - between Thunder Bay and Wawa is the best part, south end through states is kinda boring. Also, up to Sarnia is just plain slab, unless...

I'm interested in this too - I might do West Coast or Europe later this summer... Let us know...

I tried those two, even both of them together (tape on the bodywork, liner under and around the straps), but after a while, both will wear out, and you'll end up with scratches. Soft saddle bags will move around a bit, you will probably have to tighten the straps mid trip on long hauls... I've...

Hey Ivana, If it's a stretch of road I'm concern about, I google "gas stations in ___". Than you can pencil that on the map, or create waypoint in your GPX (or whatever routing you are using). You shouldn't have problems in populated areas or on trans-canada/major highway, as there are enough...

I would rather wear plastic casio than apple-watch. I 100% agree that wristwatches are status symbol, and anyone wearing apple-watch would not be taken seriously.

Dude passed the car, and most likely because car slowed down suddenly... It is easier to notice cherries in a car with overhead rear-view mirror, then on a bike... So, cager sees cherries, slows down suddenly and pulls towards the shoulder - biker at this point doesn't see cherries and gets...
