  1. Neither will I but I’m 61…You seems to be pretty smart and mature for your age.
  2. Grey FJ09 with Akrapvic exhaust in Hockley Village today at noon.
  3. And another one today. Black one (GT I think) on Forks of the Credit Rd. Flying West in company of BMW and Goldwing. 10 am. 10 minutes later the same trio parked at the parking lot in front of Higher Ground Caffee
  4. Blue FJ09 on Forks of the Credit Rd going East couple of days ago late afternoon. I was on the blue one too.
  5. Silver FJ09 on Lakeshore Rd on the way from Port Dalhousie to Niagara on the Lake around 4 o’clock.
  6. Buddy here in Ontario just got 2017 with 14000 km ( over 8000miles) on it in spotless condition and new tires for $7000 CAN. To me $6000 is a top for 2015.
  7. Ok. Back to the nature. Next challenge "your bike next to the water falls"
  8. A bit closer to nice roads 😊 - Winston Churchill & Thomas Street.
  9. Plus they are much easier to operate with 2 fingers which is even more noticeable when you standing on the bike roding off road.
  10. Yes, what’s next Maximo? Everybody is waiting for you😊. Look one up.
  11. Just order parts for 2019 tracer GT.
  12. Grey FJ09 around 6 pm in Barrie on Dunlop Street W going East towards Hwy. 400.
  13. Sorry but I must strongly disagree. I’ve owned 13 of them (2xVee, 5xWee, 5xWee2 and 1Wee3). Few with 50 000km on them when sold. Never single problem. “10x more problem treads”? V Strom is on the market since 2003 and FJ09 2015. How many sold? Look at the number of V Strom owners. Look on the size and activity of Stromtroopers comparing to FJ09/Tracer. I always had a confidence in V Strom. I can’t say the same about FJ09/Tracer. Mapping issues? Chain good for few thousands miles? Damaged oil pan? Damaged wheel adjustment plates?Tight valves at half of the mileage recommended by Yamaha…
  14. I think it doesn’t work if you planning to go on long trip. To ride around the town it might be just fine. Another option is to cut the OEM windscreen and make it shorter.
  15. I hope you didn’t jump on your bike after few…
  16. Seems to me V Strom 650 might be the right bike for you.
  17. Go for heated grips. Bigger diameter and extra benefit - heat.
  18. You wake up in the middle of the night wearing the helmet.
  19. Yes indeed. Picture was taken 22nd of March this year and normally in March this area is completely covered with snow and not rideable (low temperatures too).
  20. So you must be familiar with 15th Side Rd as well. That’s my favourite one in that area.
