First ride of the year.. only to the shops and back, but still, nice to be riding.

Read about the camshaft mod on the 125 forum, for around the same cost (with new efi unit) of the Athena kit you get a reliable upgrade which gives you a little more power without sacrificing reliability. I'm one of the riders with that mod and have over 25k km on it with no issues. Brian is...

Google books has a bunch of clymer manuals available online, thought it would be a good addition to this thread http://www.google.ca/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=bibliogroup:%22Clymer+Motorcycle+Repair%22&source=gbs_metadata_r&cad=3

Actually South African with French Hugenot roots (religious persecution in the 1600's) originally would have been Terre Blanche.

Congrats Tom, nice number to reach with no major issues

I think Oakville Yamaha might also have the schuberth helmets if thats closer for you, give them a call & see what they have out maybe. Simpsons are supposed to have a good rep, but I don't know anyone that carries them so they can be tried on.

+1 for the cbr 125, it's a great utility bike that runs well, is easy and cheap to maintain and you can do almost anything on it except lose your license on a 400 series highway. I've done quebec city to toronto in a day on the 125 loaded with (light) camping gear with another member from the...

You could try Oakville Yamaha, they might be able to work something out for you.

I think I saw a guy offering to rent cbr125's for $70 on kijiji, might be an option. Good luck with it.

Theres also hwy 2 which goes along the lake some of the way & includes a free ferry (about 5 mins of it), nice scenic route not too quick.
