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.

damn thats a cool feature, will have to try out an EK chain next time, i usually only buy DID but I hate how fiddly the rivets are even after doing it like 50 times.

You can find them no problem, paying for them on the other hand... live with the dent.

Parts are available for that bike. Lots and lots of them. You will never have a problem finding parts. That said, you will need them. Riding something vintage is going to require serious work, or being OK with riding it into a useless pile of **** fairly quickly. I probably spend an equal...

Bought 2 helmets from motorcycle superstore, had to return 1 as well, no hassle. Cost 50 bucks to send it back. Didnt have to pay taxes either. Would have bought them locally but suomy doesnt have canadian distribution anymore. Might also want to check ebay, can sometimes find better prices...

I ride my bike on public roads, not a race track. I dont need assists to keep my back wheel from spinning in a corner or locking up because I jammed the brakes, I'm not riding right at the edge of handling. "Rider assists" promote a feeling of complacency when riding because if you **** up...

Step 11 tells you its a rotor puller, basically just a bolt, threads in to the end of the crank and the rotor pops right off once the puller bottoms out. Might have to tap it with a hammer at the end..

You wont find anyone with better prices than freakeyguy, had him do some work on my bike at the beginning of the year, very, very satisfied with it. He came and picked it up and had it back to me in < 24 hours and the price was better than I could have ever hoped.

As much as I hate ebikes, that little green one looks sick, like my CB125T. ebikes are a joke though, they should be banned from the road. It kills me watching those idiots, 2 up with no helmet, blasting down the road at like 70kmh, weaving in and out of traffic. I am really surprised that...
