They don't want blown engines on the track ;).

Most sport bike riders nowadays are at the local Tim Hortons or weekday bike meets posing for the camera. I haven't met a sportbike rider on the street that knew what they were doing in years.

Im the same, more of a convenience thing I will take the Truck. When going for a ride I need to get my jacket, riding pants, head phones etc. Go out in the garage get the headphones in, helmet snug, warm up the bike....blah blah. So much easier to get in the truck, throw a song on, have a drink...

Mass immigration.

If thats sharp, I have a 1982 Tomos Moped with your name on it!

Unless it has added safety features it's garbage - generally leads to more eyes off the road. At first I was against traction control, but I have heard it actually works quite well from a number of riders that it has saved (never used it personally). But all the extra gadgets - It's no different...

This is a very high end Italian restaurant where you need to have a reservation or chances are you're not getting in. The menu changes throughout the year on whats in season and whats fresh. The cocktails are also amazing. Our waiter was fantastic - older gentlemen that lived in Italy most of...

Prices really are insane now to go to a Restaurant. When me and the wife go out (we are both foodies, especially her as a chef) we get 2 drinks each (sometimes more), appetizer and a main. We just had our anniversary at a fairly nice Italian restaurant. She wasn't feeling the best so only had 1...

Thanks for the invites :P.

Peterborough is my hometown, and I remember about 15 years ago we had an un-usually warm March, the temperature was actually 28 - 34 for an entire week and I had the bike out.

Even up north here in certain Facebook groups riders are just "itching" to get their bikes out - mostly younger riders mind you. Still, I imagine they are doing all of the above. Personally, **** that....wait for a big rainstorm to get all the salt / dirt and garbage off the road before I get...

My old man and his best friend bought identical 1987 1100 Suzukis when they were released. He ended up selling it in 2000 for a Hayabusa, but had 195,000 kms on the 1100 with absolutely no issues - just regular maintenance. His friend sold his 1100 with 175,000kms on it and got a ZX12. There's...

Anyone have much experience with the new Q5S series from Dunlop? I've run the Sportmax Q3+ for the past few years and fell in love with them after I dialed in the right psi. The reviews I have heard from the Q5S have all been pretty negative in regards to how fast the tire gets chewed up / wear...

Having moved to Northern Ontario (Actually Northern Ontario....not Barrie) I can't fathom riding on the 401. Even when I come to visit and have to drive on the 401 from the airport, it's just such a **** hole. Drivers are cut throat, and unless you're constantly trying to overtake the guy in...

RIP George :(.One of the OGs for sure.
