Re: Holly f***!!!!!! Anyone who is questioning the value of owning this machine either can't and probably will never be able to afford one (and that's ok) or just can't (or won't let themselves) appreciate one. Are you saying you've never looked at a Ferrari and lusted? Just for a minute? Happy...

Well, I did re-read your post and at no point did I see the nuisance comment referred to as a "perception". If that's what you meant then I'll leave that part alone. We can go round and round regarding the collective thing and whether or not I am lumped into a group by default. I didn't buy a...

While I appreciate what you're saying, my point about lost business in Caledon or whatever town chooses to make war on the motorcycle, however small it may be is real. I suspect other towns that may be considering such a bylaw could be hurt financially to a greater degree that the Township of...

Ok, as a BMW S1000rr owner I'm a bit biased to say the least. Here's my take. If you fit and have the money buy the RSV4 Factory. Preferably in APRC form. The motor is the most usable street engine in the world. If you don't fit comfortably on it, buy the BMW. All this talk of high strung peaky...

+1 on this. Take a ride north to Corsa. Tell George Dave sent you. I own two BMW's, an S1000RR and a 650 Dakar and I was was informed recently Toronto BMW will no longer service my 2002 Dakar. Who do you think has earned my business? Warranty work for the S1RR to BMW and everything else to...

Now I know for sure you don't ride. And BTW only Caledon (In Ontario) has chosen to do this. As well, the last time I checked I wasn't part of any "collective group". What I choose to do is my choice alone and I accept responsibility for it. I'm perfectly aware of the current "state of affairs"...

Re: Durham cop charged, world turns upside down. That being said, there are many incidences, some very recently (G20 anyone?) that call into question the fairness of the system as it relates to peace officers. But as usual, I expect certain forum members to come down on the side of the...

Hmmm,I have two BMW's and I wave quite a bit. There's a wanker in every crowd, you just ran into one of them. As far as crotch rockets go does mine qualify?

Look, it's very simple. Ride with the mindset that every car you see is trying to kill you. One of my riding buddies takes great pleasure in blocking cars at every opportunity which makes both me and the cager very nervous. Personally I don't even see the drivers anymore just the two tons of...

To make a long story short, the BMW's traction control, ABS and lean angle sensors ( the gyro's) work in conjunction with each other as well as adding anti wheelie to the mix. The Kawi's system is much less sophisticated but still works, just not as well. The riding effect at least for me is...

The Man of a Thousand Answers aka. turbodish once again misses all the important points. Or should I say ignores them. I submit that he does not ride. Bikes that is. There is no way a person of his obvious bias and complete misunderstanding of this pastime we enjoy could have ever thrown a leg...

Simple solution for all us "self absorbed dirtbags" is to stay out of Caledon. I for one am not entirely sure if one of my bikes will pass or not. Casual readings taken from the good old iphone app I have remain inconclusive. So my solution is to take the high road and stay away from the place...

Go see George. Stand up guy and knows the brand. He'll get you what you want and do it with a smile. One light west of Dufferin on Steeles. Hell I service my BMW's there....go figure.

It goes both ways guys.... p.s. sorry for the double post
