    Motorcycle Rentals - Prince Edward Island Canada

    I tried to rent out on the East Coast a few years back ... I finally gave up looking & contacting people, dealerships, ... in frustration

    50l rear rack

    OH NO ... @mcatrophy, I think you overlooked the diagram in the lower right corner of the second page of the rack installation instructions. You appear to have ridden you bike with both side cases & a top box installed. ... I'm glad you didn't suffer a spill in that configuration! LOL, silly...

    One piece riding suit

    I have no experience with the listed product but give another endorsement for Aerostitch Roadcrafter. I've been a daily rider for about 8 years commuting on my bike from about mid/late March to late November / early December in Southern Ontario. I've ridden in Tourmaster, Olympia, FirstGear and...

    The smell of burning rubber

    Admittedly I'm a little late to the discussion; but, I think the underlying thread of emergency braking is important. Further, I'll apologize in advance as I think I'm going to be hijacking the discussion somewhat. Rhetorical Question: Do you practice emergency braking? Clearly some of you do...

    Smell / Hot Engine or Rubber type smell

    Next time you fill up, purchase a couple of those pine air fresheners and hang them from the mirrors ... you should be fine!

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I am proselytizing but some are stubborn or dogmatic ... In the meantime I don't want to see them stranded

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Buried some tools under the seats ... I usually carried a ton of tools on my old RT under the seats. I think you could fit a small child under them. First thing I did when I arrived home with my new-to-me FJR was haul out all my tools that were previously stored on the RT & start to try to put...

    NERDS 2018

    DOH ... , shoulda realized that of course all y'all would have ridden the Kancamagus ... I was fortunate enough to hit it at a good time earlier in the Spring at a time when there was little traffic. Clearly my idea of an AirBnB is out based on the numbers.

    NERDS 2018

    Hhhhmmm ... have you all been on the Kancamagus Hwy, Rte 112, through the White Mountain National Forrest in NH? I rode it going to & returning from a rally years ago. How do these NERDS events work? How many normally attend? How long do they normally last? I'm not much interested in camping...

    Thinking Outside the Box--A New Kind of Light

    Why not LED-up your top box & side cases? ... a la cruiser set that you've seen with lights out the back up the ying-yang

    Pretty upset ...

    You need to understand the training. It's the same training police officers receive, the same patterns, same techniques, taught by a mounted officer who trains & certifies other police officers from jurisdictions all over NA. Sure, I can do all the patterns without dropping the bike; but, in...

    Pretty upset ...

    Thank you everyone for your support! Totally agree with your comments. As many of you know, it's just friggin' annoying when you're trying to take care of your 'new' baby. Not being overly cautious to the point of being silly or dangerous ('cause you're being too slow); just a little more...

    Pretty upset ...

    So, for the last week I have felt like I have won the lottery having purchased a used 2015 literally in showroom condition with less than 3,500 km on it. Every year to improve my skills I try to take a course taught by a police instructor. During the course I always push myself which results in...
