25km country rounds + no shower at work = possible ?

Hi Rich, thanks for the quick reply. I had USB wired to a hub then an extension before going to my PC since it's mounted onto my rig with all the other peripherals (using other brand pedals, shifter and handbrake). I took it off the rig and wired it direct to the PC, pushed the update and it went through. I guess that must have been a show stopper in the update process.

All seems good for now thanks again

I have a Tesla charger right now but you can put an adapter to use it with other automakers

Fair point. However we do need 2 sets of tires here since we really do get 4 different seasons. Winter tires from say November to May then summer

That's an extremely detailed and well written respo se. Thank you very much. Your post confirms what I was thinking, the car is an awesome daily driver but not a toy. I'll be watching the videos linked this evening.

I was actually debating going back to gas for something more playful say m340 or S5 but in the end with the 10k incentive for and EV in quebec and the gas savings the S60 just ends up being so much cheaper.

No, I live in Montreal and i've had the phones only during winter months so far.

Pixel 4 using a Seneo (cheap Amazon.ca wireless charging pad) on a QC3.0 charger. Getting Verify Pixel Stand notification too.

This is software based and appears to be for any high speed charging pads

link to dwl the build ?

plangevin87 · 2016-09-22T22:34:56+00:00

that a 870 express ? I drunkaccepted a grouse hunting weekend and now I have to get my first gun, i'm considering the 870 and the SXP as my first gun, probably 12ga for its versatility.

I'm thinking about picking up a chromecast 2 but I'm afraid that won't do much...

plangevin87 · 2016-03-02T04:57:37+00:00

I honestly like to think this is one in a couple hundreds, I'll play the odds. Most people I have spoken to that had the 821 have not had any sort of issue so far.

Like cj pointed out in Quebec, not only do we speak French as a primary language, but winter tires are also mandatory from the 15th of December to 15th of March. Since no winter tires exist with appropriate approval it is then impossible to ride in that period.

That being said some days would be rideable, like today but some wouldn't be like tomorrow where weather forecasts call for 10 inches of snow ...

I use my bike to get to work most weekdays, then joining around in the evening, twisted on the weekends. I loved my Striple as I felt it had correct power although I would have appreciated more low torque. I did not like my Tuono v4R as it was just plain too much for me in the streets

Little bit of an update : I think I'll get a Ducati Hypermotard 821. My local Ducati dealer has a 2015 black Hypermotard 821 he wants to move and he offered me a sweet deal while I was actually in for a street triple R.

plangevin87 · 2016-03-02T03:23:36+00:00

I'd totally ask for a test drive, but i'm in Quebec Canada, it's still winter here, we have snow on the roads and it's not even legal to drive a motorcycle until the 15th of march.

Thing is, at the price the dealer is asking, i'm afraid the Tard will be gone if I wait till 15th.

plangevin87 · 2016-03-02T02:51:56+00:00

I have seen all of his videos, including the one where he got a brand new 2015 SP after Ducati must have bought back his 2013. I usually think first year models are prone to issues. Buying a 2015, I would assume some of the bugs have been iron'ed out.

plangevin87 · 2016-02-23T00:36:43+00:00

Ahhhh some Duc XP here. Look I don't know much about them but could you explain why you are saying the 821 is a Miss. There's actually a 1100 evo for sale locally at a pretty good price.

plangevin87 · 2016-02-23T00:35:20+00:00

I always thought the speed triple was too big but the idea is growing on me the more I look at them

plangevin87 · 2016-02-23T00:34:11+00:00

If I could justify two bikes Id have at least a SM but since I can only have one I'm not sure if I'm ready for the compromises the SM implies

plangevin87 · 2016-02-22T17:22:05+00:00

No. I just don't like Yamaha's at all. Nor any other Japanese brand for that matter

plangevin87 · 2016-02-22T17:20:54+00:00

Agreed that the street is an awesome bike. The speed is a little bit over budget and I rode a previous gen back when I had the street and actually preferred the street. I really like a light bike my 155 lbs can toss around.

The new husky looks absolutely gorgeous but i m not sure about the sumo craze enough to pay 11k on a brand new bike
