I have been many things along my journey, most importantly a blessed Husband and Father of two impressive sons but also: Lifeguard, Ski Instructor, Pool Manager, construction Engineer, Engineering Branch Manager, Ski Patroller, Ski Hill Director, Snow Cat Driver, R&D Engineer, Quality Engineer...

I have ridden various generations of the Honda Magna (83 V45 / 84 V45 / 84 V65 / 87 V45 / 94 V45 - all 750cc-1100cc) as daily GTA drivers and I LOVE the mod to forward controls and a rider's backrest. I am nearly 70 and I can still raise my phat old ass off the Mustang seat on my '94 Magna if...

Get a Honda V4 Magna power cruiser ('82 thru '03) - came in 500cc V30, 700cc, 750cc V45, and 1100cc V65 with 3 generations of the 750cc V45. Basically, the same race engine as the Interceptors but in a cruiser bike. Every one of those will do 2-up highway speeds all day long coast-to-coast...

Why Corn Squeezin's are better for sipping than pouring into your 1983 VF1100C V65 Magna Carbs ...... And, after a pampering at The Carb Spa ....... they are returned "plug and play" - install them add fuel and go riding. After 5 minutes adjust the idle and you are good for the season.

I have several u/s cleaners and I have used them for different bike parts but I would not want to use them on friction materials because the solution contains a small amount of a soap that is slippery. For the frictions I would stick with the Brake Cleaner.

My local Shell pumps still had the "no Ethanol" sticker. That said, I do not trust the Corporate Bastards. Big ANYTHING can not be trusted anymore - So SAD.

I am a lifetime Magna rider and a Carb Specialist for a niche market. I specialize in the Sab/Mag bikes and by extension the Inter's. I offer Carb cleaning and rescue services for these bikes - send me your Carb disasters and I send you back a plug-and-play set of Carbs. Bolt them on. add...

Respectfully, I disagree with this Mad Mike. If you change them in the Spring then all the acids and other contaminants have been in the bike's oil all winter long have had months to do damage. If you change the oil after your last ride and store it with fresh oil it is not subjected to these...

Just checked my webcam and it looks like a normal day in the west end of Wasaga.

GG a lot depends on your riding style too, if you just have to go through the twisties with your hair on fire you are going to want to be up on the bars, whereas my riding style is more like swinging in a hammock through the twisties. Each to his/her own style.

I have put FC's and pullback risers on 3 generations of Honda Magna's and on none of them could I stand on the pegs worth a damn! But over thousands of klicks I have never had an issue with my feet coming off the pegs when riding through bumps or pot holes. It is a non-issue even for a shorty...

If you are interested in a Honda V45 (750cc) Magna Engine let me know. I can also provide an electronic Factory Service Manual for that bike. I can't beat "free" but price will be very reasonable.

I have been running a headlight modulator for years in the dangerous-commute Brampton-Mississauga corridor and not once has a Policeman reacted to it. The same with my Brake Light flasher. I can tell you that the Modulator is highly effective at preventing lane intrusions. I may have...
