Quick shot from an adventure to silver Islet ontario a couple weeks back.

Great roads and some fun off road adventures along the way. Another episode filmed and I can hardly wait to show you guys the trip!

*LONG POST* TL;DR: Blah blah, motorcycles...Blah blah stay tuned...

This summer has not gone exactly to plan with motorcycle adventures. Not gonna get too deeply into it but I've had to pivot a little. Still filming, have a bunch of episodes in the hopper but life... y'know??? Currently the plan is to start releasing videos this fall and throughout the winter to get us all through the big freeze. Also, I know this isn't an adventure bike but the Donkey is still running, is still amazing and is still the star of the show... that said the big Vulcan has provided me with plenty of smiles this summer when a full blown adventure was out of the question.

Finally got out for a ride after weeks of challenges. A day trip to Minaki to get some curvy roads and wind therapy was just what the doctor ordered!

Okay so tech problems persist. The motherboard on my laptop is fried, and so as I await a replacement I'm unable to edit videos. Bad timing, but I'm still here and still filming. Going to get back to regular posting again as well even as I can't get videos out until my computer situation is resolved.

In the meantime had a blast riding around Shoal Lake Ontario and its well worth exploring if you've got a day. Simply look up Rush Bay Road on Google maps and go for a ride. The asphalt is good and the road is just amazing. Best part is you're only 2 hours from Winnipeg to the turn off. Best bet would be to either bring fuel with you or ride a little further East to Clearwater Bay to gas up before exploring.

It's been a minute since my last post. Sometimes life gets in the way, but I had a killer ride down to Shoal Lake Ontario this week. Definitely worth the trip!  Also, I'm way late on posting videos but again... life... should be back to the regularly scheduled program this week so stay tuned!

The new Protaper ATV highs work great! A quick ride last night that included a little bit of off road shenanigans and so.e highway riding. Bars are comfortable and the bike feels more stable through corners and in loose dirt. I definitely recommend swapping out the stock bars for an easy and quick way to refine the KLR's handling.

Where are my cruiser friends at? If I could justify another bike at the moment I'd be all over this.

13/06/2023

After bending the stock bars when I had an off into a bog a couple of weekends ago I finally had time to put the new bars on. They look good and they feel good. The real test will be how they feel while riding. Stay tuned....

Full send through the water on the second half of the Prime Meridian Trail this past weekend. The Anakee Wilds are way gripper than the stock tires.... still managed an off after the water but we'll chalk that up to operator error!

New dancin' shoes for the KLR. Couldn't wait to find some dirt to try them on. First impression of the Michelin Anakee Wilds is that they really like dirt and they shed mud quickly so when it's time to hit the asphalt you're golden!

What a ride! While this route is extremely straight, (it's an old rail bed after all), there's more than enough challenges to keep anyone entertained. Between water crossings, obstacles, mud and more this is a route that anyone who owns an adventure bike should try at least once!
