I think when I leave home with driving up the coast on the twisty corners on a warm sunny day when the tarmac is just right I will be happy to be on a street bike. Then the next day I go out with dirt on the mind and that only. I am at an age now where I can control my urges and when I set out with a plan I follow through.... There is room for both fun times!
-
That is what my Himalayan is for.......I want both worlds ? If I get a more street geared bike then I can make the Himalayan even more dirt worthy.
-
I am not looking for HP.... Anything will feel fast compared to my Himalayan. ? Sometimes I like more balance between power and weight.
-
Why thank you for your suggestions, they are appreciated from such a wise individual. ? I have looked at those for sure. The CBR650 is nice. The 4 cylinder does sound good and it is super smooth.... But the 500's are on "special" right now. The CBR500R is sexy, but I might go with the naked version, CB500F
-
Handle bars you mean? I'm going for a more up right position, not so much leaning on the bars and tank. The CBR500R has that......

Well I have been shopping again, I can't seem to shake the desire for another bike. Not to replace the Himalayan, but something that provides a different experience. I keep going full circle and end up looking at sporty street bikes. All smooth and sexy they are......

Thanks for watching! I wasn't going to get the tools, but I am glad I did. Stay tuned, next week the grease comes out! .

Bearing With My Royal Enfield Himalayan - Part 3 - Off to The Races The time has come to change the front steering bearings in Bagheera, my 2019 Royal Enfield Himalayan. Bagheera has 6000km on him and that might seem early for a bearing change, but I believe the conditions I ride in can wear things out on the bike a bit faster. It's a great opportunity to learn more about my bike and as usual things never go according to plan, so this has turned into a multi-part video. In this episode we remove the bearings and races while sharing some casual garage chit-chat.

Nice thread idea Bob, I like tools. I like the old stickers, all my tool boxes are covered in stickers. I just picked up this little set for the bike's tool kit......so cute. ? Yes, tools can be cute! ?

Good Day / Evening Folks Super cold here again today, not sure if I will get out on the bike. Yesterday was fun, but they spray the roads down with a chemical spray to prevent ice and it just coats the bike. I don't like it. Oh well, my cookies turned out well yesterday, so it might be a day of warm tea and cookies!
-
Managed to get out for a ride in the end, the sun came out and melted the frost. ? I used my GoPro software to create this short, not really up to my standards, but fun to share.
-
Is the art truly lost on you @XTreme ? I find that hard to believe. I marvel at such things.... I love the photos as well. Ohhhhh, it is all so cool..
-
This was a nice thread idea, it started off so well. It had potential..... Then boobies and strange things that are not Canadian showed up. What the hell guys...... ? Let's bring it back to some wholesome Canadian content please. ......Canada rocks because we created the Nanaimo Bar ?

Well, the once a year super cold time with snow warnings has finally arrived to the Sunshine Coast. They say all hell will break loose in the next 48hrs. Things might not get much above freezing today and I know my rear tire bead is now damaged. The tire shop said they could not tell if I did it, or if it was like that before the flat. So even though I would still ride on it, with the cold I think I might just stay home today. That's ok, I need to finish up Part 3 of my Bearings Series video and I have the urge to make some cookies. Pic from our frosty walk this morning. ?

Good looking family Tym, ....handsome fellas . Which one is you?
-
OK, I could cheat and ask the internets....but I won't.. Baps, Daps, and Dunkers! I have no idea, most likely some sort of weird meat and maybe.....some boring mashed stuff. Faggots, I have heard that before but can't remember? I give in....

I'll let you have your little French Canadian fantasy....?

Am I at a pub or a store when I buy these items?

Here is your Canadian content for today! Speaking of potatoes.....
