Which parts rotating? The circle clamp on the engine guard itself? You can put something grippy to interface inside the circle clamp or around the engine guard, like some cloth or rubber or sandpaper or something. If its rotating around that bolt you can try punching the nut so it locks to the...

Huh, I dont remember that honestly, but I did used to go to bicycle clinic. Very weird, people are inexplicable i guess. It would never occur to me to steal something just to have it and not do anything with it. Must be some kind of mental illness. Shame he only served 16 months after ruining so...

Yeah I agree, I personally wouldnt do it to someone else, but its a funny story for me at least and nothing went wrong. I probably needed a bit of humbling, I was a dumb kid back then. That was the second and last time I ever endo'd a bike. First one happened when I was 8 following my dads...

My biggest question is what the hell were they even doing? Storing so many stolen bikes doesnt even make sense. Maybe COVID made it too expensive to ship them out or something, but sitting on that much stolen property, especially when theyre stealing things that arent even worth anything, makes...

Maybe it was me in your course lol, did it with RTI down on cherry street, dont know if anyone remembers but the RTI guys used to stand in front of you as extra incentive to stop in time. I'd been chatting with the instructor for that one so we were pretty friendly at that point, and I had 20...

I actually got this back shockingly, the cop told me they busted some guys with like 10,000 bikes in shipping containers out by port credit? I havent seen anything on the news about it, happened back in july. Unfortunately its pretty messed up, gauges destroyed, wiring completely cut apart...

Sucks, someone stole my bike just up the street too, 1980 CB125T. Completely pointless, its worth nothing, i hope those thieves die. They also ****** up my triumph but they couldnt get it unchained, so they just cut all the wiring on it.

Hey guys I have an old DT125 two stroke im rebuilding, got a real nice bottom end but all the top ends I have are pretty wrecked. Anywhere near downtown that will do cylinder honing and piston matching? Rather not drive all the way out to suburbs. I'm fine with mailing them too if theres someone...

I just recently picked up a used FZ6R, got a chance to ride it yesterday, and I noticed when the fan kicks on it seems to blow the hot air out the "vent" thats right under the throttle. This means pretty much any time I'm stopped in traffic, the bike is blasting my right arm with hot air. It...

Looking at maybe picking up an R6, spent the morning on the phone with brokers, looks like Wawanesa is the best option right now at ~1900 a year. Statefarm wants 2700 (2000 a year more than my R3...), intact wont touch it, TD wont touch it, riders choice wont touch it. Has anyone been able to...

So after my R3 got stolen, I'm looking to get my old 1980 CB125T back on the road. I did a bunch of work on it over the weekend but I'm just not going to have enough time to get this thing back to mint condition myself. Are there any good shops in toronto that specialize in vintage bikes, or...

My bike was stolen last night sometime after 9pm, near dupont and lansdowne... If any of you guys see a 2015 red and white R3 go up for sale or any part outs of one, please let me know.

So I did an oil change on my bike the other day, and encountered yamaha's indented crush washer. Apparently, theres no leeway on replacing these guys, because its leaking like crazy right now. I cant get back to the dealer for a couple weeks due to my work schedule, so I went to canadian tire to...

Is there anywhere local that sells a rear stand for a CBR250? I just got the bike a few weeks ago and really need to get the rear wheel off the ground to adjust the chain. I tried looking around but all the shops I used to go to have shutdown. I'm right downtown so preferably any shops between...

Hi Guys, My dad just bought a new dirt bike this week, and hes super excited to get out and ride it. However, he is having a hard time finding insurance. Does anyone have the name of a good broker for offroad only insurance? I told him to give my state farm broker a call, but I'm just wondering...
