    407ETR Average Trip

    Not voting? Ha. You should always vote. You pick the party which best respresents the interests of you and your family. I'm not saying they're all the same but just that they're all terrible; just some less terrible than others.

    Cheers to the guy on the Yamaha hanging out on the 401 while it was closed from the truck fire.

    Sport Touring Tire Showdown - Poll

    I've just picked up the Dunlop Roadsmart 2. They've been great for slab riding, have about 8k on them right now for mostly highway riding and they still look good. They're on my speed triple. They've been really good in the rain and the profile is very smooth when riding on/off ramps. This was...

    Question on US Bikes

    I agree. Beyond vehicles who don't swap speedometer units cleanly (like VW), the vehicles are equal. It would just be plain dumb for someone to pay more for a vehicle in Canada just because ...

    Question on US Bikes

    Worthless Joe Rocket gloves

    I hate joe rocket kit. Many many years ago: they made decent stuff but their current stuff isn't worth my $ I was dumb enough to pick up a pair of JR motorcycle pants and in less than 4 months: the stitching is failing and the "water proof" claim is so overstated that its not funny.

    no hands on the bars?

    I too have had warnings though I'm not sure the officer has ever ridden a motorcycle to understand the physics. A motorcycle can be steered and I can slow down without my hands on the bars. I've also stretched my arms off the bars near other police without even a stern look. I liken it to...

    Motorcycle specific backpack... Anyone have a recommendation?

    I've got a custom VeloTransit backpack. It's a roll-top and waterproof. I've tested it through the many storms we've had this year and use it to transport my laptop to-and-from work. You can order multiple sizes, colors and match with the straps for your body size. If you've seen me on the road...

    They weren't calling for rain today

    That was way wetter than i anticipated. I think compounded by the brutal traffic.

    tire pressure on Pirelli Diablo Corsa II's

    I found 30 low on the Corsa on the street. I ran then higher near 36. Though I normally run 32/34 for Pilot Powes; the pirellis never felt right at any pressure.

    Independent Mechanics in Guelph/Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge?

    Rotors and pads are relatively easy. You should learn how to do that one yourself.
