    Off Duty Police officer, tries to race me then gives me a ticket

    There is still a chance that the OP misread the other drivers (cops) intention to race. There is a difference between someone trying to race and someone simply driving off from the green light. I'm not accusing the OP here, but I'm just saying that some folks like to prove their dominance in...

    Oil change before or after winter ?????

    HAHAHAH here is your problem: 15 - 21 = -6 dude, so it's 41 + 2 + 196 - 81 - 114 + 14 = 58 Cheers, Derek

    Oil change before or after winter ?????

    Nerd alert... Ice Pic, since you got wrong answer here ^^^ (it is 58 and NOT 23) I would assume your advice here is not worth all that much :-) Everyone - just to the opposite of what he says :-)

    Oil change before or after winter ?????

    OP - do not listen to this guy... never mind the advice to perform before-and-after oil change. If someone does that, and then that "note" gets somehow lost, or whatever, and someone starts that bike, it will become very expensive to fix damage caused by excessive amount of oil in the crankcase...

    Oil change before or after winter ?????

    ^^ definitely overkill, change it before... oil doesn't go "bad" through the winter months but old oil gets acidic, hence the need to do it before winter

    What constitutes a full stop?

    Basic instinct in my case. Honking on me, if I don't do anything silly, really pushes my buttons all the way.

    Electric biker ran a red light...

    I used to live 15 years in the city before moving out (Charles/Bloor) - I'm used to it, however, it's different when you're driving vs your kid with not much experience - that puts things in perspective

    Electric biker ran a red light...

    Need to vent... On the weekend my son (18-year old, G1 license) was driving with me sitting next to him, my wife and my younger son in the back. It's a fairly major street (3rd line in Oakville), we're coming to an intersection, we have green light, doing about 60km/h. As we approach the...

    synthetic oil ?

    I ride similar bike to yours, except smaller (650), and I did notice it shifts better with synthetic. Just like the other comment said - make sure it's not "energy conserving" - I've put that thing once and couldn't shift into neutral, unless the bike was rolling...
