The rider is my coworker. He's a new rider this season and the CBR500 is his first bike. The good news is that he is alive and gets some time off from work after being released from the hospital. ;) The bad news is that he sustained some serious road rash along with severe bruising on one of...

I hope no one was a victim of this sad incident last night in Bloor West Village. I don't know how I'd be able to control my rage if someone did this to my bike. http://www.citynews.ca/2013/09/15/man-accused-of-knocking-over-motorcycles-in-bloor-west-village/

This is a sick bike! Have you considered showcasing it at shows? :eek: I'd be worried taking it on the road after all these sweet mods.

I'm surprised they would say that the 2011 650 upper fairing is not interchangeable. I had the same bike last year and ordered 650 parts for it (on the left side). I dropped it a couple of times on the left side. Had I replaced the left upper fairing, I would've ordered from the 650 parts...

Re: so its cool to run reds in the rain now? It must be this particular weekend. I saw a CBR take off on his buddy by weaving between cars to get to the intersection of Broadview & Danforth (Taste of the Danforth - traffic!!!). I guess he couldn't wait. I also saw a cruiser with a female...

Sorry to hear man. I hope this gutless guy gets nailed. At least I know who to ask about insurance tips in the future. ;)

Congrats!!! I have the same bike and she sure is a sexy beast! I wish I was a little taller though (5'6") so that I could be flat footed. I'm debating on the low seat but it's $360. :( Still, I'm having a great time like you!

Hi All I am a new rider, bought a new bike, and now new to GTAM! :eek: I look forward to meeting great people here and learning from all of you experienced folks.
