Ouch - for you and the wheels !
I was thinking of trying to make the Honda XR into a Motard looking thing…
 
( I’m Not really asking )

Whoops… missed that!

Pretend that I’m not really answering…😆

Because the ingot of Titanium that they must have in order to begin the CNC process is insanely expensive to get that thick!

This is an alloy (not pure and general grade 5 so cheaper metal than those calipers) of titanium in about the right size to CNC machine these calipers from. One block for each side! Almost $1,000 just in raw materials.

I now remember it. It's beside McGregor Lake. I ride that road at least 5 times a year.
We drove past it yesterday on the way to Miel St-Amour in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge.
It's a shame they have dropped the speed limit to 70 kph on the nice curvy part. Too many people were having too much fun and that has to be made illegal! There are almost always speed traps on that road.
 
+15 is tolerated…

Do they have creamed buckwheat honey ?
They have buckwheat $15/kg, dark and light wildflower $13/kg. They may have creamed but I didn't see it. Best of all they have bee pollen for $23/lb.
I was in the BMW as the Norge is down for throttle body cleaning and balancing.
 
The Creamed buckwheat is not common - but very different / flavor full.
There is also a little place off the highway near Lac Des Plage on the way to Mont Tremblanc that had some Raw products.
