Thats a good deal. My classic policy is Footman James, with a VMCC members discount and its a lot more than that. Agreed value on the Commando and T140 with unlimited mileage and included to take pillion passengers.

That is a GREAT deal . I just turned 65 , so more interest on my part now . Of course my company neglected to contact me about that stuff .

You need luck on that 401. I just got off it and it is mayhem approaching T.O from the west. I've never seen so many idiots on 1 road. Hell bent for leather , slam on the brakes, then repeat.
 
Clocked 127 miles today. Came around this blind corner to see these 4 in my lane. It’s my favourite road in my area but you need to pay attention

Not sure how valid this theory is : if a deer is in your line of travel they will move to avoid getting hit. If you swerve to avoid them, you have a 50/50 chance of a collision. I like a loud motorcycle to scatter the beasts to help remove risk

Good luck. Where are you heading this time?

I can't answer that specifically , as a fisherman I always get asked that constantly and have learned over the years to never lead others to my best spots .
The best I can give you is The Ganaraska , because hundreds of Americans come up for the trout opener , camp or hotels on the Ganny , so not secret .

I'm wondering what the hell has happened to people's driving standards
Over here it's just plain stupidity!
As we came out of lockdown it was as if people had forgotten how to drive
And maybe just maybe could have been forgiven initially
But it definitely got worse during that time and has never recovered
I've been knocked off once
I've had a very close near miss head on collision with a car my side of a crossing
And I've been hit from behind at a junction
The car shoved me forward and the plastic trim on the front of the car got jammed between my back wheel and mudguard, locking my bike to the car!!!!

Yes it was a nightmare heading back into Toronto , not just for me but for all the 401 sufferers . Like shuffling , clutch in , clutch out . I was worried about all my trout on ice , melting ice , great weather .

Come and live in Australia we have everything that wants to jump out in front of us and even worst in outback Aus with no fences to keep cattle, horse, kangaroos, emus, and up the top end even crocs crossing the roads, wild pigs, just to name a few even deer and in the suburbs people walking with ear plugs and mobile phones glued to their hands not paying attention and stepping on to the road without due care, why every 4x4 and trucks have the great Aussie invention called bull bars on the front to knock everything out of the way, we live in a very dangerous place and overseas travelers just don't understand when traveling our vast land and don't forget out famous drop bears, most dangerous creature of all.
Here is a pic of my Land Rover with the knock everything out of the way bull bar on the front.

Today I pulled the carbs to try to figure out why my '74 is running rough when it gets to 3000rpm. It took a very keen eye but I think I found the problem. What Did You Do With Your Commando Today?
 
Well while you have it pulled a part might as well give the carbs a good clean out and clean all passages, if you soak the carbs in a container of vinegar it will bring up like new and get rid of all stains, at lease the jet is ready to be removed. Do both carbs.
 
I have had good success in the past by boiling carbs in a big pan with some washing up liquid (detergent).

Just make sure the Missus is out …

And wash the pan properly afterwards …
