    Wind gust out the Niagara way are just too much to enjoy riding in.

    Sipping Canadian whiskey while listening to the rolling thunder is helping with the weather blues.

    Chipper

    FIL has a small one that manages branches the thickness of your thumb. Anything larger and it chokes. End up spending more time pruning the branches to make them easier to chip then actually running them through the chipper. He has an old furnace oil tank on a trailer frame and wheels it to...

    Weather

    Seems like the longest winter ever. I’m itching to get out for a ride but, I’m not freezing my balls off. Rain forecast is discouraging. Praying to the sun gods for some relief soon!

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Didn’t think they offerred those in North America markets. There are a few variants of the Shadow in 2007. Same liquid cooled 750 engine and different seats, fenders, tank etc. I could be wrong. Wasn’t aware of any v-twin 600 cc Honda cruiser for that year/model.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    This looks like a Shadow Spirit and typically a 750 and believe the mileage is 16,100 kms. Not a bad bike or price

    Well, that didn't take long!

    Quite a few out and about with tidy tails and zipping through traffic on the QEW yesterday. Was a little jelly if I’m being honest. My age and experience had me pondering concern for those riders encountering mindless cage drivers that may change lanes unexpectedly and end up seeing a wreck...

    Motel & Hotel Stays

    Booking 1 night at Ontario Provincial Park. Bare minimum, no electric etc. site, taxes and fees are $55 per night. Just to put things in perspective from a cost standpoint. Not to suggest camping. But, if camping is $55 and you bring your own stuff, a hotel or motor inn is gonna cost ya...

    Eating out

    We avoid chains and occasionally go to small owner operator places that helps take the sting out of the cost. At least makes us feel better. If the place has live music, even better. The Black Bull in Burlington, South Coast in Ridgeway, The Valley in St Catharines, Spicy Tai in St...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    Work appointment Tuesday had me see the temps at 15C from the cage display and wanting to hustle back for a little romp. Temp started to drop but, took the bike out for a little run along the parkway. Find the rear shock a little jouncy and might need to search for a rebuild or replacement via...

    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    Why is it my hoodie strings only come out at the start of a multi hour ride and the tappy tap on my helmet has absolutely no rhythm of enjoyment whatsoever!

    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    Is it a mistake when you test the range of the low fuel light? My calculations of fuel consumption and tank capacity has me question manufacturer specs from time to time. Might be one of my faults from owning carburetor machines for several years and not adapting well to FI that don’t have a...

    GPS vs Phone

    I had a ram mount for my phone and it worked fine. However, the phone got pretty hot from the sun and shut down to Prevent further damage. Anyone else experience this? Has protective screen and the like. I’m reluctant to use a phone mount again this summer. I like Waze for traffic...

    Home office

    Same. Think we get to account for a proportion of our home utilities. Electric, gas, water etc. 1000 sq ft house and one room is our office is 10”x10” = 100 sqft or 10% of the house. Office expenses such as printer ink, paper, staples, stamps and shipping, we keep the receipts for the...

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    Can’t go wrong anywhere in BC really. Heading south from Jasper towards Banff on 93 is nice. If you don’t mind a little detour from Banff, take the 93 towards Radium Hot Springs and keep going to past Fairmont Springs to Lussier Hot Springs. It’s a gravel road off 93 but, it’s a natural hot...
