    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    There is nothing like the feel of new brake fluid in the morning and cleaned brake callipers. Ranks up there with new rubber. Change mine at least every 2 years or sooner especially if doing a big ride

    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    Coolant change. BMW does not have a recommended interval but my bike is now 6 years old and will probably put it off for another year.

    Single layer motorcycle jeans/ denim pants - where to buy?

    Liking my PMJ jeans so far, very comfortable and also has nice features like access to the knee protectors from the outside. Made in Italy. Size 32 is pretty close to my 31 street jeans fit. Smoking deal if you wear larger sizes...

    Motor Vehicle Sound checks in Toronto (dB)

    The police did as I had refused to give the enforcement officers. I was in a hurry and also curious so once the police and I had a chat I let them do the test as I assumed my bike would pass and it did.

    Carpuride?

    second season using mine and it has been excellent and with BMW model you can use the OEM BMW Nav Prep and use the wonder wheel to control the application plus eliminates any need for wiring. This just plug and play.

    Motor Vehicle Sound checks in Toronto (dB)

    It was vey casual lol, he asked me to raise the RPMs to an even level and I had to ask him how many RPM 😁 So I held it at 2800 and they never checked I assume if I had failed the test, they may have done a specific test , but agree it may be easy on challenge this if it went to court.

    Motor Vehicle Sound checks in Toronto (dB)

    Got pulled over on Lawrence Ave just east of DVP for a sound check on my bike on Saturday. Mine along with several other cars were directed to the East Don Trail entrance where a team of 8 or more City of Toronto By-law officers conducted the tests. Tried to talk them out of the test as I was...
