    Helmets - Modular or Full-Face?

    I have a first gen model of the Neotec and overall it is a good helmet. Where did you get the Neotec 2 from? I much prefer my GTAir2 for most riding, but want to upgrade my modular to a newer one.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Totally serious. Even if I'm giving something away for free, I won't limit the details in an ad so that the seller needs to look something up. Seriously - make it easy for the seller, don't add work - this is a basic tenet of merchandising or selling. I saw other Icon's for sale and that...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Sorry if this feedback is harsh, but your ad isn't helping you: Your ad doesn't state "no trades", so it's not surprising you have a bunch of tools replying to it. How many cc's is your bike? Is your mustang seat very comfortable for longer rides? Is that a stock exhaust? Does it sound nice...

    Are you Rotella or Motul?

    Yeah that’s about as good as it gets right now. I see they have the 4L 10w40 for $80. I paid $90 at the bike show and that was a decent deal. Not too long ago I was buying it for $60 at Motocicleta in Burlington.

    GPS vs Phone

    I've had to use my phone as a GPS couple times over the years and once it did that too. I had it plugged into the bike and wasn't sure if being charged while exposed to the hot sun caused the issue. It was an older iPhone 6, so I'm also not sure if that issue would happen with the newer phones.

    X-Ring Versus O-Ring Chain

    Same here - about 50k out of every chain. On my V-Strom I was getting closer to 60k per chain and the FZ1 I swapped it at 45k.

    GPS vs Phone

    That looks pretty sweet. Anything like that for non-BMW bikes?

    GPS vs Phone

    I haven't used a memory card for route loading into the GPS devices in over 10 years. Now it's super quick and easy to create my routes on the laptop and transfer to the device, but I use MyRouteApp to do all that stuff because the Garmin basecamp is one of the least user intuitive programs out...

    Are you Rotella or Motul?

    10w40 I tried using the Rotella for a season or two and it was fine, but I did notice that shifting felt clunky near the end of the interval. With the 7100, I found that the shifting was still buttery smooth right to the end of interval. Also on long trips the bike still felt great with...

    GPS vs Phone

    Close! I scored a brand new original Zumo XT back in the fall of 2023 for $400 off some guy who bought it from a store and then had a medical issue and stopped riding right after. I currently prefer riding with the XT over a phone and get live traffic updates on the GPS, since it's paired to...

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    If any of your crew likes gardens and plants, then the Butchart Gardens outside Victoria is a great way to spend a couple hours walking around. It's super beautiful: The Butchart Gardens The Old Country Market in Coombs is a cool place to stop and check out the goats on the roof, then take the...

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    Sure I can do that, but know that the whole book is dedicated to BC. I would take pics as opposed to scanning them. Let me know a specific region of BC that you are most interested in knowing some hidden gems and I'll see what the book or map offers.

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    Usually when I do a trip, I read all kinds of local forums to find the best roads. But a lot of the time the roads suggested are the best of the best and don't always reflect the hidden gems and lesser known back roads. It was advised to me that I should buy the Destinations Highways BC book...
