I'd say both … The intelligent airbags are much more complex than cable-actuated models (which have a single trigger). Data from gyroscopes is continuously interpreted by the on-board computer and complex logic is used to decide when to actuate. Moreover, sensor data is never a smooth, and...

I don't know how it works for Helite, but software updates can be done at home with the Alpinestars (I've done it twice for mine already).

I'm not sure an all-in-one solution exists for what you're looking for. Airbags absorb shock, whereas neck protection is achieved by limiting head movement. This is what neck braces accomplish, and I don't know that you can achieve this with an airbag. I paid about $830 CAD for mine (tax...

My comment isn't about Ohlins in particular, but about a better, adjustable suspension overall. Most OEM suspensions are made for the average-sized conservative rider, with average to beginner skills. Step outside that envelope and you'll be left wanting for more. My NC700X with stock...

I admit this stressed me quite a bit at first, but in reality I've never had a problem with that. Other vehicles running into me, that's a different story.

The strategy here is to keep the overall width in the rear equal to or smaller than the width of the handlebars (preferably a bit smaller, as the rear tracks tighter in a turn). Doable with two panniers for most bikes.

So I bought the Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 the day it came out. - it protects quite a large area, especially in comparison with other vests (shoulders included) - it is worn on the inside of the jacket, which allows me to easily switch between jackets (I commute daily, rain or shine, throughout the...

bump!

Here's your chance to own a great bike for little money. Cheap on insurance too - 50 bucks a month for me for full coverage. Serious buyers only, I've got no time to waste. Bike can be seen in Pickering. 2009 Triumph Sprint ST ABS with 18xxx km, ridden by an ex motorcycle instructor. I now...

I bought the Fly hi-viz helmet last year. Fits my round noggin really well. For the price, it's a great deal. Finish does not compare with more expensive helmets (in fact the paint has already chipped in one place, now covered by a sticker). Liner is also not as soft, but not bad overall. I...

Unless the parts you are putting on are DOT approved, they are illegal for use in Canada. With a design like that, likely to really stand out, you're probably asking for trouble. I do like those lights though!

Actually it's a calculus problem, but either way there's no solution possible without knowing more. Without writing anything on paper, I suspect the correct answer can be any value inside interval [0, 94.(4)] meters.

Call Humber around tax filing time. They will look up your student number (they assign you one when you sign up for the course) and provide you with login details to their web site, where you can download the T2202A form which you will use for your tax return.

It's always preferable for the seller to safety the bike (on top of providing the UVIP). Not only do you provide some additional assurance that the bike is sound (as you probably state in the ad), but it's also much easier for you to do it as the bike is likely already plated (and insured) --...

Here is a unique perspective: I took the course at RTI some time ago, and now teach M1x at Humber. The reality is that both courses are good and taught by instructors who love what they do. Yes, we're still using the 250 Viragos. They are extremely versatile and user-friendly and available...
