Jame H when you find out what the bylaw officers say , let us know. I have always parked up by the bicycles but I don't want to get a ticket.

Seems to be a lot of bikers here that must have a lot of experience on darkside tires to be able to make judgment and condemn them. I ride a big bike a Rocket 3 and have 25000 km's on a darkside tire. would never go back to a MC tire. I do not argue anymore about the benefits or cons of car...

True! I,ve had problems with Canadian tire batteries too, yes they are junk , The Walmart battery I,ve had for the last 3 years in my 2300 CC bike, starts everytime. Its a big load to turn over!

Hey Mina, maybe english is not your first language or you have a reading disability. He said $25 each. Go back to high school and learn to read. NGK Iridium IX (CR9EIX) Spark plugs - $80x4 or $25 a piece BNIB. $25 per $80 for all

Some guy in the "parts and accessories" thread is trying to sell NGK sparkplugs for $25 each. Look how much they are in amazon .com. Dont get ripped off. Always check online prices first for anything you buy...

How old are you 2 wet? somewhere between 17-25? maturity has not reached you yet? I think its the other way around. Idiots who do wheelies on any 400 series hiway are the doushbags.

I had a bicyle with a Chinese gas engine on it. Rode it for almost 3 years going to work from Mississauga to Keele and Dundas. Not once did I ever get hassled. I just started peddling when I saw a cop car.

I disagree with you. Experience does = knowledge. Knowledge gained from real life experience is far more valuable than getting it any other way. I do not have to give you any examples of this, you know what I am talking about. I also know a lot more than Brian does about running a CT on a...

Brian, you are a typical anti car tire know it all. You have never even tried a car tire, but knows everything there is to know about how it handles. How can you? I communicate thru forums with several hundred other bikers that have car tires and not one of them has had and accident that had...

Car tires are far stronger than motorcycle tires. Consider the fact that they have to carry 4000 lbs. My bike is fine in the twisties ,I just do not go as fast as a sportsbike, why should I? Scenery and enjoying the ride is my thing, not going down some twistie road at 200KMS an hour like I ve...

No it was a good idea for them, why not market a motorcycle tire for 2-3 times the cost of a car tire and get all these suckers to believe they are better! We will get rich!

Whether it a motorcycle tire or car tire is not an issue with insurance companies. As long as the tire is DOT approved its ok on a bike. A reminder also that a lot of bikes up until about 1978 had car tires on the rear. Heres an email that was sent by another Darksider to his insurance company...

JC, if you do not know how to pick up a 900 lb bike after toppling it on its side then you should not be riding anything other than 250cc CBR. This is a big boys bike, not a dinky toy for wussys.

Heres some interesting reading from another Darksider thats better able to explain it than me. http://lifeisaroad.com/stories/2004/10/27/theDarkSide.html
