The first rule about riding early in the season is you don't talk about riding early in the season.

Anyone know a good place to buy a Pitbull front triple tree stand in the GTA? Lots online but shipping is brutally expensive. Thanks in advance.

Hey rbjeepthing I like the silver graphics your CBR. Is that stock of aftermarket?

^^^ That's what I've heard is the worst problem acutally is the kid dozing off then falling off the back or side. The buddy belt is a good idea but there is also a harness you can get the goes around you and the kid so the kid doesn't have to use their own strength to hold on. My neighbour...

Re: GTAM at the Spring Motorcycle Show!! Now are we there yet?

The battery lasts about 4 hours so that's why I got a spare. For me that's enough but next year I plan on doing longer rides so I will prob wire it in over the winter. It's nice in the car though as well then I don't have the wire going to the 12v outlet but I know if I need it then I can plug...

Re: GTAM at the Toronto Motorcycle Show - Dec 9-11 2011 I haven't seen Kawasaki on any of the lists or maps for this year's show. Anyone know anything about whether they will be there or not. Seems crazy if they aren't going to be there.

I have the Nuvi550 and love it. Use it both on my motorcycle and my two cars as well. I got it from here and it includes motorcycle and car mounts. I also got a spare battery for it (it's removeable) so I don't even have to wire it to the bike. And even though I use a GPS on my motorcycle I...

I have an '09 that I love and th '12 does have some styling differences and gauges but mechanically it's pretty much the same. The one thing I really like about the new one is the gauges but that's not enough for me to upgrade just yet. If you are considering it I would say go for it, even the...

Just to clarify - not looking for a Corbin really, just something with equal quality that's somewhere fairly close. Either a whole new seat or customize mine. Mine just isn't that comfortable for longer rides (Ninja 650R).

Hey all. Looking for some advice on a good place to get a custom seat around here. I know that Corbin has a great rep but with shipping to Canada it gets pretty expensive and if I had to have any custom fitting done that would be out of the question. Anyone know a good place to get one in our...

I don't remember if a flew or tumbled but that is what likely caused the bruised kidney. I'm sure my insides were jostled around a bit. it hurts but doc said no permanent damage from what they can tell.

Here's a link to the gear I was wearing. haven't seen the bike yet but will post pics when I can. Obviously the only thing I wasn't wearing was my riding pants hence the road-rash on my knee, which I can live...

Thanks all. I think now about the things I could've done differently and even though it was technically her fault it could've been avoided I guess. Funny how in the moment you just react but I'm taking this as a learning experience and maybe when this happens again I'll react differently and...

Even though it's not really a club I wanted to be a member off I figured I would be sooner or later and seems like i paid a small initiation fee compared to some. Thanks for all the well wishes from all.
