I haven't had to park downtown in years. Is GreenP street parking still free? (Toronto St specifically if that matters - it has a marked area for motorcycles).

$70+tax

Really happy with the result. Went from 21" to 10" windshield height. Looks a bit ridiculous with how small it is on the bike but it's the ideal amount of protection for me with no helmet bufetting. 20231022-120853 hosted at ImgBB

Thanks again everyone for your suggestions. @nobbie48 thanks for your response, I did not notice it until just now or I would have definitely followed up with you. I ended up finding a shop in Hamilton that does this kind of work, P&A Plastics. I just got the windshield back and the work...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll keep you posted on what I end up doing.

Hello, is anyone aware of any shops that can cut down motorcycle polycarbonate windshields? Preferably in Newmarket area. I've called a few auto windshield stores and they don't this. For reference, it is an OEM Suzuki C50T windshield that I'd like to take 6" off the top.

After the touch Marquez seems to go a bit to the left as if to push against Rossi. Maybe that was just a side effect of the touch, or maybe he actually wanted to make Rossi crash as payback for Argentina.

Is it on by default?

I had to do an emergency slowdown once as I was getting on a ramp and my body did something very similar. So in retrospect I think lowering the center of gravity helps delay stoppie allowing to brake harder and also keep the bike as upright as long as possible as you begin to turn.

Maybe having a system that always engages on the rear wheels but only engages on the fronts when the steering wheel is off center or if brake assist is triggered might solve the snow problem with no additional user input.

Unfortunately on loose surfaces it's too easy to outperform the safety features. At least they should give us a snow setting with another set of lookup tables so I can redirect some of my own processing power to post witty remarks.

You're not gonna be steering around obstacles while trying to stopping in the snow - better off reducing stopping distance as much as possible. And if there is that much traction you can always release brake pressure to steer.

https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/tp-tp13082-abs2_e-215.htm#is Transport canada agrees and warns of longer stopping distances on gravel slush and snow with ABS. Very easy to confirm independently.

I pull the abs fuse on my impreza every winter for safety and enjoyment.

They accidentally gave him the tire that was meant for Pedrosa hehe
