A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
For some time I've had this idea to ride up from Lake Erie along the Grand River to the Covered Bridge at West Montrose. The route would start on the western side of the river then cross over to the eastern side at the first bridge follow the eastern shore up to the second bridge cross over and...
It's my fault, I left the ignition ON overnight. I don't know why or how but there you have it.
No big deal I'll just recharge it with my Battery Tender Jr, should be fully charged by tomorrow noon.
Nope. BTJ light still solid red and bike still dead.
Checked voltage, 8 volts...
I made the trip to Ottawa to visit family.
It was hot when I set out in my mesh jacket but I had to change into my heavy riding jacket in the evening as it turned chilly.
I stopped at Costco in Peterborough for a Caesar Salad and water. Continued to L'Amable where I ate my sandwich, yogurt...
My chain has 24,000 km on it. To me it looks fine as do the sprockets. What happens when a chain fails? I mean, I understand that a broken chain means you've got no power and you'll be rolling to a stop. Not a great scenario if you are in the fast lane of a busy interstate or out in the middle...
For several weeks I have been trying to figure out where this intermittent howling noise was coming from, so many things go through my mind. Bearings, chain, pump, alternator...do I even have an alternator and if I do what if it's making that noise!
Tonight I realised what it was, TIRES. My...
I bought these super cheap and free shipping.
The mirrors sit the same as the originals, quality seems good, reviews were good, time will tell.
This top box seems a little 'thin' but it has a lock, two keys and a mounting plate. Using the included hardware I bolted the plate right on to my...
I went out on a dualsport ride and dropped my bike twice. Mud all over but it cleaned off nice without even a scratch, except for this mirror. The mirror itself is okay, is it possible to get a new glass for it? I'm assuming not and I also assume that it is cheaper to buy two new aftermarket...
A huge advantage, which I have taken for granted, is having a garage. Tools, cleaning supplies, music, warmth, air compressor, electricity, internet, running water and protection from the elements all in a secure lockable space. Being able to start a job one day, turn off the light, and come...
I've had no luck with the forum 'Search' or 'Advanced Search' features. I must be doing something wrong, I just can't find posts that I know are in here somewhere. In the vein of 'More than one way to skin a cat' I've tried Google with the 'site:' option with great results.
For example, What...
Like others that are fortunate enough to live in a place with real seasons I put my NC into winter hibernation 3 months ago with no connection to the world except the Battery Tender Jr.
Since then I've been thinking I should do the same for all my rechargeable gizmo's, don't they deserve (and...
For the techies on here, in case you are interested, here is the code that generates my 'Fuelly' signature.
<?php
// Read template image into memory variable $im
$im = imagecreatefrompng("bike_template.png");
// Change $im to transparent background
imagesavealpha($im, true);

I was wondering about the differences between the SPOT tracking information as displayed by
vs
both of whom are currently traveling across the US.
The one system is clearly better than the other and I noticed that they use different websites to display their tracks.
I googled to...
I went out tonight with paper and pen and documented when the computer upshifts. I slowly increased speed in all modes and was satisfied that the computer would not change to the next higher gear even if I was only 1 km per hour slower than the speeds below.
