Do you take the 250R to the track ?

at one point i was considering getting something small to learn with on track, but….

actually when I got back into bikes after a nasty crash this one I wanted to try out. I have takin it to the dragon. it did quite well. as I got older, the motard fever got me and sport touring. I'm 5 hours from the mountains so I flip flop on what I will ride.

I try to keep them all on a Even Rotation Schedule
Don't want anyone feeling neglected

Extra or Surplus? No way. Just because there are 8 of them. Really? No... They are all “essential”.

have to take advantage of every day we get This time of Year…

I could have stopped 100 times to take pictures…

I meet a local guy with a 80 something Moto Guzzi 850T

Wandering around on the Internet …
How come the Titanium ones are 10 x the $$$$$$ of the Ordinary ones…
( I’m Not really asking )

Whoops… missed that!

Pretend that I’m not really answering…

Because the ingot of Titanium that they must have in order to begin the CNC process is insanely expensive to get that thick!

This is an alloy (not pure and general grade 5 so cheaper metal than those calipers) of titanium in about the right size to CNC machine these calipers from. One block for each side! Almost $1,000 just in raw materials.

fewer and fewer opportunities

A Temple in the middle of Rural Gatineau ???

 

[Raven]

I've never seen that "temple". Where is it?

366 on the way to Perkins from Cantley, first time down that road three weeks ago

 

[Raven]

I now remember it. It's beside McGregor Lake. I ride that road at least 5 times a year.
We drove past it yesterday on the way to Miel St-Amour in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge.
It's a shame they have dropped the speed limit to 70 kph on the nice curvy part. Too many people were having too much fun and that has to be made illegal! There are almost always speed traps on that road.

+15 is tolerated…

Do they have creamed buckwheat honey ?

They have buckwheat $15/kg, dark and light wildflower $13/kg. They may have creamed but I didn't see it. Best of all they have bee pollen for $23/lb.
I was in the BMW as the Norge is down for throttle body cleaning and balancing.

 

[DeadEye]

The Creamed buckwheat is not common - but very different / flavor full.
There is also a little place off the highway near Lac Des Plage on the way to Mont Tremblanc that had some Raw products.

Sometimes I think I'm getting carried Away !!!

[Raven]

Was that today? If so you just made it. The rain is coming down again.
I just blew about 2 million of those beautiful leaves off my laneway and parking area.

 

[DeadEye]

Yes, this morning , on a Walking path, which I rolled onto !!!
