It's been a long time since I have made a post...4 months??It was a weird summer for weather, so I didn't get as much riding in as I would have liked but I still got in 7700kms...so it isn't too bad!!In late May, I joined the AlbertaMoto crew and we went for a ride through Rocky Mountain House, Saskatchewan River Crossing, down the Icefield Parkway and on to Canmore...then home...here's a few

I really couldn't decide if I wanted to be on a cruiser, sport tourer or a dual sport...so I had resigned myself to riding my GS500 for another season. It's a great bike that will work in most situations...but then I went in and sat on THE BIKE...I was really sold on the sound and attitude of the cruiser, but the riding position of the bike really wasn't working for me...so I went into the

The last ride I took on my bike was on November 13, 2010...my little GS500 has been parked in the same spot, waiting for a "nice day" to sneak out for a ride...that never happened, and either did the winterizing that I should have done...This past week has been a week of getting ready for the spring season and trying to make up for not winterizing the poor little bike. The bike needed a new rear

I haven't been keeping up with my blog...it was kind of a crappy summer with the weather, and we crammed in camping and I put in over 8000kms on my motorbike...I am currently flip flopping about whether or not to upgrade bikes, and if so, to what?My current bike as you know is this...I am thinking of these bikes as replacements...The Suzuki Bandit 1250S...The Suzuki Boulevard M90...The Suzuki

When I first decided this year to get my motorcycle license, some of my friends were curious and wanted to know how to get it. Essentially, in Canada, if you have your class 5 (regular drivers license) you are allowed to use that as your learners permit on the roads. You need to be within the view of a licensed motorcycle rider, but they can be in a car...I didn't know that until I took the

I have been riding motorcycles for a couple of months now and I really like my new "toy"...But the distance from the foot peg to my butt forces my knees to be bent quite a bit and after about an hour or so, my knees start to hurt. If I wiggle my butt back and hook my heels on the pegs the pain fades but doesn't completely go away.So I am considering changing to a larger bike, and if I am going to

They have been on the market now for over 12 years. Have they made much impact?I guess it depends on where and how you use your vehicle as to whether or not it is the vehicle for you. For example, if you live in the city and use your car to commute to work, run errands and go out in the evening. Then I think a hybrid would be a good choice for you, that is if you don't mind the price of admission

Okay, a little about me.Back in high school, I bought myself a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Esprit. I thought it was the coolest car ever when I bought it the summer before grade 12. Black w/ T-tops, a V8 under the hood and NO screamin' chicken...I didn't think I could get away with the chicken if I didn't have a mullet. Of course, I thought I was pretty cool until the engine would no longer hold any
