I went to http://www.lockshopltd.com/ with a dealership blank and my original key. The guy cut it, screwed it up, gave me a cheap Ilco key as a replacement, and said "I don't care what you say, I don't care if it's from a dealership, these keys are not the same thickness". Does anyone know a...

I know that bikes park for free downtown, but what is the deal when it comes to permit parking? Do we still need to apply to the city for it, or is it free as well?

Anyone have any experience with Southland insurance, or can recommend another Jevco broker? I'm flirting with the idea of a bigger bike, and they appear to count it as a sport-touring or something; Meloche Monnex does not.

Anyone riding tomorrow afternoon? Calling for a chance of rain in the early morning, but roads should be dry by afternoon.

So, this might be a dumb question, but I've never fought a parking ticket before now. I went to Metro Hall and filled out my paperwork to fight the ticket, went to the counter, and they asked for the ticket and the paperwork. They returned a copy of the paperwork, kept the ticket, and told me...

So, I've been kind of procrastinating on getting my yearly service done, but I'm pretty sure this year I will need to have my first valve adjustment done, per the Suzuki service manual. Can anyone recommend an east-end bike shop (Durham region, preferably) that does really good engine work?

I'm organizing a ride out of Whitby, which should be about 6-7 hours total (including lunch and breaks). Details below, but feel free to PM me for more info. Post or PM if you plan on coming. Meet: Esso @ Thickson & Taunton Time: 10:30 meet, leave by 10:45 (no exceptions) Route: North (message...

Anyone interested? Will be a mix of twisties and scenic routes, departing around 10:30 from Oshawa. Moderate pace on the highways, own pace in the twisties. M2 strongly recommended, sport bike oriented.

Burns and Hopkins, around 9:30 this morning, looks like the car made a left in front of him. The guy looked ok (was sitting in the back of the truck answering questions). Bike looked like maybe a silver Busa. GWS rider.

So, I figure this is a bit of a stretch, assuming that there are people who both have Monday off work and still have their bike out, but it's going to be 15 degrees. Anyone interested in a short ride? Meet Up: Shell Gas Station @ Thickson & Consumers in Whitby...

OLD (I think): Buffalo Wild Wing Oshawa (Harmony and Taunton) NEW: (GTAM thinks that no matter how I size this image, it's too big to post) http://www.flickr.com/photos/68319709@N07/6215512722/lightbox/

New: Hint: I tried Googling this myself and nothing showed up. It's nearby Oakridge Golf Club.

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before (it's tough to sift through these forum threads); but I currently have a set of Q2 Sportmax tires on my SV, and the front is still in great condition, whereas the rear is showing cords. If I plan to continue to use the Q2, is it okay for me to...

[Rant=On] Apparently, it seems some people have misinterpreted Labour day; instead of being a day off from work to spend with family/friends, some people out there figure it's a "be lazy as s***" day. They proved to me today, that they're too lazy to tie things down to their vehicles properly...

Sent Simon an email asking if he had a set of "bolt through the engine" style sliders for my SV in stock, and received an email back within minutes. Placed my order on Thursday, they showed up at my door Monday; price was quite reasonable (about the same as if I would have bought directly from...
