    USA to Canada Shipping

    A quick question to ensure my traditional thoughts regarding purchases in the US and shipping to Canada are not out of date. On multiple occasions I have had unfavourable luck bringing items into Canada with DHL, UPS, FEDEX, etc. For the better part of the last 15 yrs I have requested USPS...

    Kipmoto Sherpax

    I do quite a bit of 2up camping and while our compliment of gear is lightweight, it is difficult to pack light when 2 people are going on the road for a week. Taking into consideration the amount of gear required for temperature and weather fluctuations, the bike seems to be gaining weight with...

    Any guesses?

    On what type of bike this used to be? Ran across it last week near an old gas station on the Parsnip River. Looks like it was once on fire and then pushed into a mound of dirt by a dozer. Garage fire and subsequent demolition I wonder?

    Safety First

    A reminder for everyone to remain diligent on the roadway. I keep abreast on the news despite being away and there sure seems like there’s been a number of serious accidents in the Province over the past number of weeks! https://vocm.com/2022/06/08/man-dead-following-collision-peacekeepers/

    Klim Carlsbad Pants

I will be driving from "Town" to Corner Brook sometime around Canada Day and could also drop them anywhere in between. Klim Carlsbad...

    Follow The Leader Photo Game

    In light of the "Throw Back Thursday" photo post appearing to be a popular item, I thought I would try another photo topic to keep things moving along as we wait for spring to break. I don't know if this has been done in the past or not however but its somewhat of a photo association thread...

    Cheap Dash Camera

    Does anyone @ RTR have any experience with a reasonably priced dash camera? Something to be used in a vehicle, not on the bike.

    Air Compressor

    I’ve had this little 3 gallon air compressor kicking around the garage for the past few years that I usually use for topping up the bike tires and a small brad nailer from time to time. Tire duty is it’s typical task. Trailer tires and the truck tires as well. I have meaning to get a much...

    Yamaha Super Tenere Akrapovic Exhaust

    Now that the Super Ten has gone to a new home, next on the block is the Akrapovic titanium exhaust. Also included is the true carbon fibre cover that replaces the ugly Yamaha factory unit. Over $2000 combined for both of these a few years ago. Looking for $600

    What did you do to your ATV today???

    I’ve gone from having very little time to perform maintenance on my toys to having lots and lots of time due to this COVID 19 Pandemic. That said, I thought I would make a “spin off” of the “What did you do to your bike today?” thread. Does anyone else find themselves passing time in the...

    Fluorescent Light Difusers

    Hoping someone on the Avalon can help me out: I need a light diffuser (plastic lens cover if you will) for a recessed fluorescent light. Size is 46” x 23”. I found the traditional “bumpy” diffusers but am looking for something frosted/opaque. Does anyone know of a business that would sell...

    TLH Wash Out

    Route 510 has a washout approximately 18 kms south of Goose Bay. No traffic getting through for a few days apparently. Backdraft and group left this morning I believe. If they don’t know already, I’m sure someone in Port Hope Simpson (last fuel stop) will fill them in...

    DOT Date Code - Motorcycle Tires

    Sooo... does anyone pay attention to this? I have a Mitas E07 that was manufactured in the 23 week of 2013. The tire is now a little over 6 years old. That seems to be the magic number if you google anything about the DOT code and motorcycle tires. I put about 5-6000 kms on the tire in 2016...

    Carb / Throttle Body Sync Tool

    can anyone recommend a good but reasonably priced set of gauges for syncing carbs/throttle bodies? Better yet, anyone have some they wouldn’t mind loaning for a day?

    Trailer Storage

    I’m looking for a secure yard to store an enclosed trailer for the summer in Mount Pearl or St John’s. I tried Metro Storage, but most of their yard storage is reserved for commercial clients. 24/7 access would be preferred if possible.
