My cb500f would use about 3.3with my normal riding, a mixture of town, highway and 400 series highways. Moderate starts but not gentle gas saving starts 10 km over in 50-80 zones 20 km over in 100 zones. Did spend 3 days on Manitoulin Island last summer with a friend who was a very leisurely...

I thought I had seen it all til yesterday. I am sb in the fast lane on the 400 doing 125, cant go any faster because many cars in front doing the same speed. I am being tailgated uncomfortably close so I move into the middle lane. The woman moves up into the empty space and tailgates the next...

Was out for 3 hr on Monday, temp about 4 degrees up here on the shores of Georgian Bay. Buddy from Mississauga called today to go riding with him but I had to say no because we were supposed to get snow squalls. Squalls didn't happen, also I don't ride below freezing temps, afraid of hitting...

Will try it, thanks. Fantastic news about your new bike. It is going to be a great riding season for you.

Thanks. Called 2 dealers and they said they did not know what was coming in on demo days.

Ya, I know how I would feel if I caused up to 20 Hell's Angels to crash their bikes. Rv driver probably did not signal his left turn because surely some riders would have seen the signal and not attempt a pass.

107000 on my 2001 Suzuki dr650 still runs well replaced one head gasket. 129k on my 750 Virago still running well when I sold it 158 k on my 84 Magna still running well when I sold it 135k on my 83 Magna running less than optimal when I sold it

To OP hire his lawyer

My concerns for OP problem is: you are a biker but you have no biker friends so is the GF isolating you from all your biker friends. That is one of the tools any extreme controller male or female uses to gain absolute control over your life, and they have the control experience to do it very in...

I agree, it is my second favourite colour (after red) , was just kidding him

Your problem would be finding some one who would ride a purple bike
