  1. Good thing it was not in Ontario, License and bike would be gone. One question though is that bike stock or modified ? Brad
  2. Yah Right, "A bit" just wait if you buy one just try and leave Brad
  3. I too have a US Bike and I do not worry about the odometer, and wont worry when I sell it if I ever do that. Brad
  4. I too was gonna say that would be about right if not add a little more weight. You will know it if it is too light. It will be all over the road. This will have a lot to do with how you pack the trailer, so if it wobbles stop and redistribute the weight. Congrats on the purchase. Mr. OWL had pictures on here of it a long time ago back when he built it, but i still do not think anyone ever saw his bike. Brad
  5. Looks like a nice little ride. You could drop down to hwy #3 near London as it would not take much longer and is a little more scenic. Also depending on when you are running through Hamilton to Niagara that section can get very busy at the Rush hours (STOP and GO, bumper to bumper for 3-4 lanes). You may want to drop south at Ancaster Then through the Welland you could always watch the ships in the canal. Brad
  6. Agree here, could be junk in the carbs, besides it won't hurt if it is something else. Brad
  7. Don't listen to Carl no one else does. Anyway I see you got the pics attached great job on both accounts. Brad
  8. Did not work too well, but keep trying, it is actually not that hard. Brad
  9. Thanks for the update. We were fortunate to meet your father in Kitchener, and we are wishing him a speedy recovery. Brad and Rhonda
  10. Dave Welcome and hope you find a dealer to get it right and start enjoying your new ride. And you made the right choice on the bike and also a good choice for stopping in here. Does not take long to get hooked on this site. BRad
  11. Sounds like it can tire noise. Are they the original tires ? If yes when changes to new noise should go away. Brad
  12. How did you get it together. I too started doing this wrong but could not even bolt up the caliper, nothing lined up. BRad
  13. We always have nice days in January, two years back I was riding on January 1st at 55 degrees, clean streets. Last year we were under 3 ft of snow. THe falls are very nice in the winter as well with all the ice, the water only stopped flowing once, according to the history books. Brad
  14. It may be fouling a plug while engine is cold because of choke and a weak spark, and after running a while it finally burns and cleans up the plug. A little work but you can check it by starting it and then after a couple of minutes take the plugs out and look at them. Then put back in run the hell out of it and when it starts running smooth pull them again. Ran into this once before, new battery and plugs solved my problem instantly. PS My plugs were very black and wet looking when I pulled them but after 20-30 min. Clean Brad
  15. SAme thing here. Also change the rpm then it is not as bad. Seems to be the worst around the 3,000 RPM mark Brad
  16. Hope your not promoting Speedo's for Venture Riders Brad
  17. Shutting them off when not needed is another option that may help the switch, last longer as well BRad
  18. Carl just rode through Sudbury and there was no colours yet (just rocks), Anyway it may be about the right timeing BRad
  19. Commitment has been made, however the weather man had better co-operate. Brad
  20. Dan sounds like it could be an electrical issue. How old is the battery. If it is older I would replace it and most likely I would change the plugs to new ones before I checked anything else. Then I would look at ground wires, plug wires, etc Brad
  21. Who Said that in the first Place. Glad to see your planning on going, just hoping you bring Marca. Brad
  22. Gary we are very sorry to hear about this. Our thoughts are with your family at this time. All the best. Brad and Rhonda
