    VRRA weekend at Mosport

    I went last year (Sunday) and had a good time. Obviously more so if you are into older bikes. Much more friendly laid back atmosphere than the superbike races. I like two strokes so quite a few of them (RZ500, Gammas, etc.). Definitely want a way around, I like my mountain bike - can get out...

    RG500 Rebuild Finished

    It's been a few years in the works. Rebuilt the motor and chassis from frame up. Fires first kick, motor seems good, but not broken in so I can't really rev it all the way. Just need to sort the blinkers and horn not working. Overall I'm pretty chuffed...

    Best Toronto City Bike/Commutor/Touring?

    I'm looking for the same thing as the OP and I'm going to get a 650 v-strom. I'm interested in the versys but it doesn't seem as comfortable and roomy (I'm 6'3"). One thing about the 650 v-strom, though, what's up with that pipe/muffler!? It's hideous. I think either of these would be great...

    Squeezing by on the right - is it legal?

    Like the topics says, at a red light, can I go by a car on the right to turn right, using either part of their lane or the shoulder? I wonder if this is the same as lane splitting in the eyes of the law. I've searched and read posts on lane splitting/sharing but didn't see this specific...

    Where to buy 25mm valve shims in GTA?

    Interesting, it sounds like the bike (bags as you describe). I do recall something about an aftermarket screen, but I wasn't sure. According to the UVIP the original owner was a PT in Newmarket but it wasn't registered until 96. Second owner was a Polish guy in Mississauga I bought it from...

    Where to buy 25mm valve shims in GTA?

    I guess I have one of 27 candy apple red ones. Mine has a few nice mods: Micron cans (awesome sound), Corbin saddle, Givi side and top cases. It has ~80,000km and still pulls strong, burns no oil... It was mint but I dropped it a low speed a couple of years ago (damn streetcar tracks in the...

    No, maybe it's a 94 - the first year they were in Canada.

    Where to buy 25mm valve shims in GTA?

    Anyone know a shop that keeps a selection in stock to sell? I need a 25mm x 2.45mm shim for my 93 Triumph Sprint. Any shim that size is OK, doesn't have to be Triumph. I know lots of bikes use the same shims (some CB750/900, Yamaha Vmax,FJ1200/1300, some Kawis, etc.) Just looking to speed...
