Are there any Canadians in Here??

Don't put Bardford ON in your GPS, you'll never find it.
There's a Bradford and a Brantford.

I ride up there without GPS . On the US-Can border uniformed guys are always waving & asking : AGAIN ?
My brother lives in Bradford/West Gwilimbury

I woulda thought all North American bikes would have more similarities.

Don't forget we've always had ABS standard on our B's. And tool kits. And metric speedo's that read too fast. And warning labels in English and French.

That's OK . You might need the tools . Well - ABS ( I told you already) , but warnings in any language are fine , unless are not in Chinese ( not yet ) .

Canadian models are a lot faster.

Canadian models are a lot faster.

Actually they're a tad slower, due to the wind resistance of the ABS sensor rings on the wheels and the extra 5 lbs of the ABS modulator motor and wiring.

But the decreased coefficient of friction of all the ice & snow on the roads makes up for it! At least half of the year.......

I guess that's why Mother Honda decided we needed ABS on our B's.
Even though our roads are now dry, they're still gritty, sandy, and potholey. And it's not warm here yet. I've been out twice so far this spring, but warmer weather (50's F) is on the way later this week.

They're so fast, Honda needed to slow the speedo down

It was very challenging to get the bike delivered right before Xmas....
Yet, I managed to wait until April.... 1st of April, registred the bike at7.30am and went on the road with a -3 Celsius... not cold enough to cool my excitement ...

cheers !

I have a 2013 model that I purchased lightly used last fall from a used bike dealer in Drummondville, Quebec. He took my 2009 Harley Street Glide on trade. I am retired and live about two hours drive north of Toronto (The Big Smoke) in a cottage/resort area called Muskoka. It will be another month before I can get out to the main roads to ride my black beast but so far I'm loving this bike.
