It's always interesting that we Canadians will try so hard to be, and be seen as, different from Americans when it suits us, yet get our noses out of joint when things actually are different and it doesn't suit us. As other posters have noted, the fact is that Canada is a different country with...

When I travel in the US I often use mid-grade because, subjectively at least, it gives me better performance and mileage than regular fuel, whereas the premium doesn't add anything except a lighter wallet. But at home in Canada, I use regular fuel all the time and get better performance and...

Astounding how tire companies all react the same when it comes to defects in a tire line. I had Firestone/Bridgestone tires that peeled and the only response I received from the manufacturer was that the only thing that could have caused it was underinflation, so it had to be my fault. Sure...

Just because the FJR is a mass-produced machine doesn't mean the only variable is the rider - the tech that I take my Feejer to says that my 06A runs much smoother than another guy's 06A (with similar metrage and type of usage) and he's been working with Yamaha to figure out what the problem is...

If you mean popular by number manufactured or sold, then the honour of "most popular" would go to the Chinese. But if you mean popular in terms of creating that huge number of buyers who are willing to wait in long lines to pay for a brand and dress up in garb that emulates a lifestyle that...

Glad to hear you're home and on the mend.

Not to mention that they look like crap.

What about sending the lock and key to Xena? It'd prove you're not trying to get a key to some lock you don't own that's on a bike you would like to be yours without the hassle of such details like paying for it... Can't hurt to ask them, all it will cost you is an e-mail or phone call, sounds...

I'm all for adding a couple of days along the lines of Groo's suggestion. There could be rides and installs each day so that people could do both rides and installs instead of trying to cram into one or another. And if there are more people to buy more farkles then maybe the vendors would add...

No, the 06 blue is faster :rolleyes:

Sorry for the hijack: I like MS Streets & Trips too; is there a way to download routes planned on S&T to a Garmin GPS? If so, would there even be a need for Mapsource?

Goes to show that bad things can happen even to the best of us. Heal up soon Mike, NAFO just wouldn't be NAFO without you marshalling the bikes and heading up the parking nazi's.

I have a Garmin Streetpilot C330 and rather like it. But I found out on the weekend it can't be totally relied on for map accuracy - I was driving around in a Vancouver suburb trying to get to the highway and the GPS told me to turn down a road that ended up being a dead end. Came out the way...

I bought a Pro-pad for my 06 last year during WFO-5 in Reno. It felt really good when I first rode on it; it makes a comfortable difference over the stock seat for about the first 6-8 hours. It does raise me up a bit, washing out the lowered seat position. Don't really notice the heat on the...

And just how many of those increased over-40 crashes involved bikes with loud pipes? :rolleyes:

With that concoction I think I'd just use an old do-rag for the filter and the oil that's in the do-rag as the oil supplement.

Why not take the girl off and just have the G-string and skimpy top? I'll take one just the way it is.

Loud pipes? <_<

On Hwy 50 on the way to Reno I met some ranchers who save lives...well sorta...they were bunny ranchers who were trying to save the lives of bunnies crossing the road by getting people off the road...

I CAN'T MAGIC EYE! I CAN'T MAGIC EYE! :cray: Wait, let me take another toke. :drag: I see it now, a huge bag of Cheezies and a dozen Tim Horton's Doughnuts! I got it! I got it! Must be time to sing the national anthem...Oh Canada, The True North stoned and free...
