Got to break a few eggs to make an omelette. Soon you will be using curbs to loft the front wheel. 

Yup! That's where it always leads!

I just watched the Fort Nine video review of the Versys-X300 again.

It's such an epic freakin' art film.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYYf7iG1ih4

Exactly, I just ordered front brake pads for my DRZ and a front sprocket for my RV90/RV50 from FortNine

I put around on average $1000/yr through Fort Nine. Hopefully that keeps the videos going. I just made an order through a local dealer (Blackfoot Direct) as Fortnine did not have the item I was looking for. Plus I would like the local guy to stick around through this slowdown.

Me too.  Alas, there isn't a local Suzuki guy around Kingston

I know it has been tough on the locals. The owner is doing the deliveries.

Absolutely..   They're doing the vids right, for sure.  Having a bit of personality AND sense of humour goes a long way.

This has to be the best time to ride a motorcycle in Edmonton there ever was

Traffic is down to 'less than Lethbridge' levels

Yeah, I'm trying to get out as much as possible. Still working on not dying at low speeds.

I think the new Ryker with the 900cc triple is cool....

[Arthur Dent]

I'd like to rent/borrow one of those three wheels for a week or so. They look like fun but not sure I want to own one.

you wouldn't...on a bike, you typically ride in the in the lane similar to where a car tire is (drivers side for right lane, passenger side for left lane)...in a car, your tires will ride on the left and ride sides of the lane you are in...with a three wheeler, you essentially have 3 wheels of width...so all those manholes you easily avoid in your car or bike, you hit pretty much every one in a 3 wheeler.

[Arthur Dent]

I'd still like to try one out. 

I heard the same thing from a classic Morgan three wheeler owner - impossible to avoid road hazards.

I test rode a Ryker and it was so AWESOME. It was like real life Mario Kart. The centre of gravity is low so no stability issues whatsoever, but you can still lean into a turn. If I had $11k, I'd buy one in a heart beat. Hopefully there are lots of used examples in a few years.

Both a 600 and Rally (900) I think. You can’t go wrong with either engine, I was smiling from ear to ear with both.

I also tried one of those big Spyders, they were meh.
