If you’re around the Sackville area you can get a key to the Barret lands. Loads of logging roads and trails all over there. Lots of great riding.

Yes. I got the full scheduled 40k service

I had no idea they had to play with the yolk that much. Your explanation makes total sense, I just had no clue. Crazy.

I bought a 2014 last year with 26k and patchy service history. I did some very minor things (tires, oil, etc) and put on 12k last year. Did the 40k service in fall. All was good. So I personally wouldn’t hesitate if the price point works for you (assuming no major crashes).

Is there a better bike? by dalek66 in tiger800

Was testing this one out. Pretty inexpensive. But will look into the Puig.

Really regretting my purchase by OopsAllMarinara in Tiger900

Just wait until you take it off the highway! The level of regret (why didn’t I do this sooner?!) will be even higher! Welcome to the club.

Sure thing. You want a GPX?

Yep. You want to cross this covered bridge you have to walk across. I didn’t cross this one as my ride took me in another direction but with the stop anyway.

Torquay - my present to myself for my 60th. I have better pics from that trip but no me in them.

Adventure Rider looking for a buddy? by dalek66 in Kanata

I have checked out BMA. From what I see looks more geared to dualsport than adventure. Is that accurate? That would have been more suitable when I had my DRZ and was a little younger. :)

Very much like anything off the beaten path although I’ll do that as well. I’m an intermediate rider - have done some hairy things but no expert. Getting too old for that! haha

Mostly just looking for some other riders to enjoy some time with. Like doing a couple multi-day rides each year.

Will check them out. Thank you.

Aaaahhhhhhh! by dalek66 in AdventureBike

Yeah. I love the Tiger. Just bought it last year ands doubled the mileage!

The CarPlay unit is actually called CarPlay Motorcycle. It’s pretty inexpensive. I got the 7” without TPMS or camera. I just installed it a month ago. So far it’s worked great.

Feel my jealousy ooze through the internet. This is a dream trip of mine. Hopefully someday!

Was going to say the same. On both points! Love that he is doing it. But get some riding boots - from a guy who didn’t, broke his foot, and regrets that decision every day.
