Doc, good luck on Tuesday. I had a brain MRI last year in a search of a cause for chronic migraines. All was good. My advice? Bring earplugs!

After the procedure my neurosurgeon invited me to have a look at the scans. I quickly declined! I have NO desire to see my brain! Fortunately, she found nothing. I was able to cure my headaches with a daily 250 mg dose of magnesium.

Thanks! I've not seen this. My issues are largely resolved but I am sharing this video with a few folks who continue to suffer.

Long ranger , when you said she found nothing I was at first afraid that she did not find any brain tissue inside your skull ….
I am glad that you are ok now.

This auto-cyle would not violate promise to my wife of no more M/C.
Just thinking about it

https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en/mod...lsrc=aw.ds

900cc, 3 cylinder, liquid cooled, OHC 4 valves per cylinder with hydraulic lifters (think 2002 Honda Nighthawk) shaft drive... only about 100 pounds more than CB1100, 5 1/4 gallon fuel tank.

Concerns are CVT trans with recommended belt changes at 12,000 miles and MPG may only be low thirties.

Smaller, lighter and less complicated than Spyder. Accelaration almost same as Spyder with 1330 cc motor.

Visited dealer which sold and later purchased my CB1100. Show room was 75% empty... sales have been really good for them!

The ergos adjust ability on that thing is insane.

Doc, it looks awesome. BRP has been using CVT in its snow machines for a long time. I wouldn’t sweat it. Sounds like you need to arrange a test drive!
