  1. Other then parts Royal has become like Canadian Tire. Never buy anything for regular price unless you are desperate as the item will be on sale soon enough.

  2. Yes indeed A True Once in a Lifetime Opportunity. Typical real-estate hype . Of course it is a Once in a Lifetime, after 6 months of ownership you would likely hang yourself . Not meant to offend anyone .

  3. Does the new owner get to clean up the mess also?

  4. It really equates to the removal of competition in the marketplace, Far too much of this in Canada these days.

  5. The manager in the Guelph store informed my that they are supporting a FXR only booth this year, no reason why but likely low inventory levels. Apparently, you can get a 15% off coupon to use in-store next week if you ask for one.

  6. Its not that they won't, they have to or they lose the brand. Thats one reason why they dont deal with CKX any longer - its called MAP. I was there yesterday AM (Guelph) and picked up some KLIM mid layer stuff and new studs/backers for the incoming XCR. If you do the math, its a touch over 20% off when you combine the 2 reductions. If you have something special in mind I'd phone first to see if the sale applies to it.

  7. Sort of amused by this question, based on the age variety we have\had in our 5 or 6 person riding group over the last 24 years. My philosophy is that it is easy to remove or open clothing that is with you, compared to put on something you don't have. We have saddled bagged a 1 week trip for 24 years, and a trip can go from rain to -38c, so I pack and wear the warmest and close to the best I can afford. Other point, how old are you? I'm now 65, and frig, -24c is cold for me, yet I've slept outside in a lean-too in -24c when I was in my 20's. My older brother would ask me what I planned on wearing the week, and then compare that to what his son was wearing on the trip, who is half half his age! Back in the day, it was CHOKO, now I have close to the top FXR coat and pants. My warm weather bib pants are KLIM, Spring riding when daytime temps are -10c and warmer. Below my coat, is about 3 layers, which enables me to easily adjust for temp at the start of the day, or even at lunch time. Disclaimer, I now wear a heated jacket and glove liner whenever I ride below -20c. So, back to your question, try what works for you, but if tripping, keep your options open, inside layers pack easily. Only place I can think of for wearing uninsulated outer layer in Canada is BC.

  8. I wonder what wall the owner hit to do a 360 on the efforts? Place is going to be hard to heat soon with winter coming and no insulation in the attics or walls - not there there was much there before I am sure......or maybe not heated for the winter.....
