Honestly, drag bars and forward controls worked perfectly for me. When I upgraded to a different sporty with mid controls, I got highway pegs which helped but, I preferred having controls up front. lol. The upgrade was a Roadster with larger tank and mids but, I preferred the lay out of the...

Bernard Ave is 800 metres east of Burleigh. Both roads lead to the same beach area of Thunderbay Beach. 😉 We have our coffee/tea/adult beverage at the water from time to time.

Enjoy the honeymoon my man. I feel you and get it completely. It’s so wrong but, so right at the same time. Not that I’m looking forward to it but, I suspect there will be a post at some point of no longer being together and it’s not the bikes fault but, you’ve changed and need something...

Glad I’m getting a safety now before the shop needs to follow the new process. The shop owner said they aren’t sure if they will even do them in the new year.

Agree with you Tim. The look of a single seat or slope back seat looks best. I had 3 different seats for my red custom. A solo Le Pera bare bones that was actually very comfortable and a flame stitched drag specialties that placed me a little too far back from the forward controls. I...

I’m off Bernard Ave on Evadere Ave a couple of blocks from the beach. Stop in a a beer anytime. The fridge is stocked and the stories will be self deprecating knee slapping funny. 🍻

You gotta pay that Harley tax! Bone stock, they ride like a mid 70s Raleigh 10 speed bicycle. For $300 plus tax, you can find a decent seat from Saddlemen, Mustang or whatever. Then rear shocks and progressive front springs. Unless you go for the slammed look, then it might as well be a hard...

You only have one life to live so, gonna try and live it well. Researched out the quirks and there seems to be enough support to manage any issues I may encounter. Appreciate your comments, makes me smile. Nothing my cc can’t handle. 😉. I’m a sucker for old tech and remember some riding...

I’ve had the Spit for two summers now. I traded the Bee for a red Beetle Vert in the fall a while back. Rational was to have a back seat for the pups. Wife hated it, dog hated it and while everyone loved how it looked, it was a dogs breakfast to drive. Ran like a top but, was a tornado...

I might install it just for those nice days during the off season. But, need to look into the work involved. 😉. I just love the clean look without

I may add the panniers just for convenience but, don’t think I’ll install the front fairing. The tank has some paint damage where the fairing rubbed but, it’s superficial. I’m far from an expert but, I took it for a rip Friday and it’s smooth and everything works pretty good for a bike from...

It’s got 94K on the clock but, meticulously cared for. New tires, battery, brakes, fluids etc. First owner bought it new in Europe (Belarus) and owned it there for some time and brought it with him when they moved to Canada. So it’s a true Euro spec model. It’s registered for here in...

I rode with a bunch of touring HD riders and everyone of them smiled knowingly when I brought the Sporty out. No one claimed it was a girls bike but, they also achieved the age when it was no longer an appealing character to ride anytime I offered them the chance to take it for a rip. Mind...

I’m too rough on nice things. I can appreciate art in all forms but can’t manage to care for it properly. Music, writing and poetry. Paint, sculpture, wood crafting, cuisine, clothing design, engineering etc. It all amazes me. A clean garage where I can fiddle with my toys when I can’t...

I was raised in a working class neighbourhood of various backgrounds in the 70s. Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Hungarian sprinkled with some English and Scots. Mom is from Glasgow and Dad a second generation Canadian with origins from Poland. The only thing different from a kids perspective...

While I’m not a religious person, the serenity prayer has served me well over time. And Ted Lasso’s father telling him to stay curious.

I like the idea of it. Traffic during ideal weather conditions is tolerable most days. Throw in some snow, rain or ice or poorly maintained tractor trailer that jack knifes and everything in the next 20 kilometre radius is parked or worse. Feasibility study? We can’t build subways that...
