Any of you east coast lads been to or going to The Race Of Gentlemen? https://www.theraceofgentlemen.com/ Looks like a blast. I'm hoping to ride down so anyone between Toronto and southern NJ wanna ride?

Ah, the northern sports. Done this with snow machines, never with two or 4 wheels tho...

Ya'll were so all over the trip to Tuktoyaktuk, let's try this again. How about the big empty? Takers? https://www.motorcyclemojo.com/2017/10/the-big-empty/

Nov.15 they open a permanent road from Inuvik NWT to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean. Anyone up for a ride next summer? MM, I'm thinking that vstrom could use a good run.

Taylor and I are out of Thunder Bay and into the land of the free, home of the brave, on Aug. 9 We were planning on following the lake since we really don't know any better. We do want to be on the Badger ferry sailing across Lake Michigan 2pm Aug. 11. (What can I say, we like boats?)...

It coming hard and fast folks. https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-maps I've got my Eclipse glasses, I was originally heading down to the Kentucky/Tennessee border, and may still but I have a daughter on Vancouver Island so I may just fly out to Vancouver and drive down south of Portland...

From yesterday's weather, looks like avocados all over the Iowa/Wisconsin area. And isn't it awesome how the weather stops at the border? Lucky us.

I know this is moto related (in the Lounge, my bad) but I couldn't see putting it in the Garage? I'm still laughing.... maybe its flooded....

After a good 200km run yesterday I noticed some oil spray along my right side cover. :eek: Head gasket looks good, top bolts look good so I figure its either the camshaft seal or cover gasket/o ring, or both. There is a bit of oil inside the cover but I would have thought it would be...

Went for a ride after work today, parked the bike(79 Special). After dinner went to go back out and starter wouldn't go. I noticed that when I turned the key on the headlight was on. Safety relay was on (ie in the running state) pulled the yellow wire from the alt. bullet connector and the...

3D printed a dashboard for the VStrom (full disclosure, not my design) Worked out well.

I love this tool! 5twins or anyone know where to get/how to build one of these bad boys?

An XS650 engine as an end table. Sure hope it was pooched before this happened. Oh, and $950. lol. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-furniture-other-table/brantford/end-table/1245224909

I'm in need of a stock left side pipe/muffler for my 79 special and I'm wondering which years are compatible with my right side pipe, mount points etc. I have a lead on an 82 pipe. 78 and up all look pretty much the same although 81 up the part number goes from 2MO-14710-01-00 to...

For folks in the greater Toronto area looking to get some vapour blasting done, just got some parts back from Rocket Performance (no affiliation) in Whitby. This weekend we're supposed to be getting something called a polar vortex, damn! No winter, now no spring!

Got this lovely response wrt an order I placed with McMaster-Carr "Due to the complexity of U.S. export regulations, McMaster-Carr accepts international orders only from businesses. This decision also applies to orders shipping within the United States, because it is based on the final...

As context I currently have 19/16 mags on my 79 special but the "look" I'm going for is spoked wheels, white wall tires. I have a set of 1977 19/18 36 spoke spoked wheels which are in need for a new set of spokes and some serious cleaning up, but damned if I can source an 18 inch rear white...

So I was just heading home for lunch, doing about 110 (65 mph) on the highway, bike starts running like crap, coughs a couple of times and dies. mmm.... I'm just about to call in the cavalry (read that as wife), I look down to see the left side muffer separated from the pipe (see pic). Wait a...

Does anyone know off hand what bolt size these are? M5 doesn't seem to thread in and I don't want to make a mess of it. Perhaps I have the wrong pitch? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
