    New torque wrench suggestions

    You get what you pay for. If you are going to spend $10 on a H.F., you might as well keep your money and guess with a rachet. I have a 40-220 inch/pound and a 10-150 foot/pound. The only thing I can't use it on is my Ducati wheel nut at 170 ft/lbs. You should expect to spend $100-$200 for a good...

    Ohlins rear shock overhaul

    Ohlins says 30,000km for street riding, max 20 hours for racing. I guess it would depend on your riding/cargo/1 up vs 2 up etc. The longer you leave it, the more it will cost. Here is a link to the manual: https://www.ohlins.com/Products/OwnersManuals/OM_07241-02.pdf There are two shocks...

    Southwestern Canada

    One thing to think about while planning, it's the 100th anniversary of the Stampede here in Calgary this year (July 6-15) so if you think you are going to be in town for any of the the first three weeks in July and you will need a hotel you better book it now. If you still can. It is supposed to...

    It's almost MILLER TIME!

    I didn't make it to the track today, when I woke up in Dillon, Mt there was two inches of snow on my bike. I said screw it and went back to bed. I got a late start so I didn't get here (SLC) until just after 16:00. I'm going to ride around town tonight and hit the track hard first thing in the...

    Alberta / B.C. ride planning

    I prefer the west route out of Glacier, 93 north to Roosville, then it's still 93 to Elko where you could head east on 3 through Fernie to 22 north as outlined by others. Depending on where you want to end up and how much time you have, you could continue north on 93/95 to Radium and then east...

    Look What Followed Me Home

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I like mine. Do your self a favour and program all the gas stations you can find into your gps, you'll need them. Your first service @ 600 miles is an oil change and chain adjustment, so don't get fleeced for more than a couple of hundred.
