Procycle is great. I bought a bunch of stuff there last year. Shipping was a killer. I've also bought from A Viscous Cycle and recommend them too. Some specialized parts like suspension upgrades may only be available from the states, though.

I had a decent turntable about 20 years ago—well after CDs had taken over. I had some audio geek friends. The experience was different. I'd sit down and actively listen to music. Now, with portable devices and mp3s it is either background music or podcasts. I've still got the gear, but no...

Not legal advice, just relating my experience. Suing someone is expensive. If it's only a few thousand, I would walk away. I would also give a call to the CRA regarding the t4's. Most likely, no source deduction was made.

In rock climbing and mountaineering there are detailed write ups on accidents. There's an annually published report and less formal discussions on forums. They try to determine how the accident could have been avoided and recommended procedures with anchors, belaying, etc. are changed. Lives are...

There's a couple of videos of my crash. Nothing too exciting, but I'll post them soon.

I did have the rear start to slide out on me a few times... one time causing a low-side. I think it would be possible, but rather rare.

I've got a lowered DR650 I want to raise to normal height. Could you give me the piece you cut out? :-P

It would probably conflict with my FOFSM meet ups.

That's pretty much it. Seeing what can be done with a 125, I now feel like I'm using about 10% of my street bike.

Back in driver ed, we were taught that the best way to deal with a tailgater is to slow down to encourage them to pass. In the passing lane, I'll speed up a bit for someone who keeps a reasonable distance. Tailgaters don't get the same courtesy. I may even drop a couple of km/h (carefully). If...

Rain X worked for me, but apparently it can mess up some plastics.

FWIW, I have read that since they switched to the BMW's, they're crash rate dropped significantly. Maybe it is the rain mode.

My experience with black mesh is that it is fine if you're moving fast. In traffic, you feel the heat. RevIt has some light colored mesh.

$950 with TD. I have group discount as well as home and car with them. Clean record. My advice is: be older.
