    Help. Stranded at hwy 115 & tapley 1/4 line

    I'm with danp - check how tight battery terminal connectors are. Battery could be drained, bad r/r, stator... Start with easy stuff (terminals, fuses), try bumping it (the way lightcycle described it) - if not, give us more details... CAA as last resort... If you can't bump start it on your...

    Recommendations for GPS units and mounting options

    You can still use your phone, just get an off-line map/gps app. Zumo or TomTom rider are best in sense that you can operate it with gloves on, it is weatherproof, and if you use scala, it will work as attended (priority of GPS, Phone, MP3 player or intercom work as intended)... Screen performs...

    Re: Guys who love big/fat ***** riding group Gonna ride around and throw hamburgers at skinny chicks? Bounce revs at every curvacious booty? :evil4: I'm in - but I'll probably be at "ride alone" group ride at that time...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Re: Cop with bad attitude - Motorcycle related I'm an avid rider, have been for long time. To be honest, some of my fellow riders are an embarrassment. As the time goes on, it appears to only be getting worse. That could be because of all the social media etc... it's more visible and reaches...

    A few pictures from a recent PA / NY Trip

    Nice! Beautiful pics. Bird looks good too :thumbleft: Got any GPX files, or GoogleMap? Looks like a nice scenic ride... and I'm thinking of finally doing a PA ride this weekend.

    crazy old guy in the GTA

    It is hard to know... Some turds would see avoidance as a sign of fear and would start throwing their weight around even more (hot air)... but I generally agree. It would only be cool if it's strictly Harley riders (and Victory, Victory is cool too)... Otherwise, it would turn into real...

    Lake Superior Ride (IBA)

    Thanks! It really depends. There are things I wanted to do but knew there won't be enough time (Pukaskwa National Park - I would take at least a day there), then there things I was planning on, but weather wouldn't allow it (Apostle island sea caves), and then, there were things I could have...

    Lake Superior Ride (IBA)

    I'll add my short story - not a trip report, just my experience. I did Superior circle tour a month ago. I did it clock-wise, not sure how much it matters. South end of the trip though states is mostly flat and not that exciting. There are so many places that are designated and marked as...

    Highly doubt that - rates are the evidence.

    Insuring 2 bikes silmultaniously

    You do understand the difference between revenue and profit? Insurance companies are raking in huge profit (after all costs you mention). You miss some points - When costs and risks are socialized and profit and decision making is in hand of few private corporations - it has next to nothing to...

    Insuring 2 bikes silmultaniously

    Wasted? See, you are the broker, and while I repeatedly state "it's not brokers fault" - your stance on this makes it hard for me to continue with that. So you think we (consumers) should do the work of fighting fraud? Not the insurance company who taking all the profit and is making us pay...

    Insuring 2 bikes silmultaniously

    The "Insurance Fraud is to blame for high rates" line doesn't hold water. If that was true - why aren't insurance companies doing something about it - other than passing the cost to us? This arrangement works for them (they are reducing coverage AND increasing rates for everyone, while blaming...

    Insuring 2 bikes silmultaniously

    We are all sheep. There's no way around it. Ontario Insurance is a highway robbery, and we are too dumb to do anything about it. There's no point in arguing with brokers, it isn't their fault. The law was written by the politician who took big $ from insurance cartel. Passed by his buddies. They...

    Toronto to James Bay

    Yeah - there were no cops anywhere, all along the way there... until that cochon showed up. Biggest BS ticket ever. And at the end he's like "yeah I ride too" ... pft whatever.

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    Also remember some smaller shops - The Motorcycle Store in Mississauga (off Dundas), S&L on Dunwin, shop/store on River Road... Zdeno in the junction...

    Recommended itinerary for Thunder bay trip

    I just came back from Superior Circle tour - I did it clock-wise, so I was in TB 2 days ago... Weather is unpredictable due to the water always being cold. I liked Eagle Canyon Adventures as a stop-over, but know it's a dirt/gravel road leading up to it - couple of kilometers, not bad, I did it...

    Europe 2013 - 13 day loop through the Dolomites, Alps and Vercors

    Re: Day 11: Continued... Amazing trip! - thanks for sharing. One tip (maybe it's just me) - photos appear over-processed - it may be camera mode, HDR or something like that... and I find it way too saturated, unnatural and difficult to look at after few shots... But keep them coming, I'm...
