I have a Joe Rocket textile jacket and I'd like to add a big Kawasaki Vulcan patch to the back. Where would I go to get someone to do this? Thoughts? Cheers, Rick

Got my first bike in 30 years yesterday. A 2013 Vulcan 900. Why can I not remember to turn off the signal lights after turning?? I put the indicator on well before the turn, then after going through the turn, my mind goes to mush and I forget to shut the damn thing off. 2 or 3 kms down the...

I'm looking for a big and stocky jacket. Preferably 3 seasons if possible. Hi-visibility would be awesome. I'm 6'1 and 325 lbs. I've been trying on jackets and can't find one to fit. I'm usually about a 4XL in mens shirts and jackets. But the 3 and 4 XLS that I do find are way too small...

I just bought a bike. A 2013 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic. Only 9000kms. It's spotless! I get it Friday. I rode bikes all throughout my teens until I was 20. That was 30 yrs ago. I haven't sat on a bike in that 30 years. I'm going to take a college refresher course. Cheers, Rick

I'll call in later today to see if I can get a ballpark on insurance before I buy the bike. What info do they need? Any/all of the following? - name - current car insurance - drivers licence - bike year, model, and cost - additional riders

Hey folks. I'm a 49 yr old male. I've had my GM since I was 16. Haven't owned a bike in 25 yrs tho. I had a couple of small claims on my car State Farm insurance about 5 yrs ago. So I'm looking to buy a used touring bike - sub $5000. Something in the 1000 cc range. I do like a Vulcan 900...
