    So I rode a Harley today...

    Harleys are awesome, have ridden a few in my time - but the price is almost all profit - you're getting a cheap/chinese component steel framed bike with old tech and very little spent on R&D, for often double the price of more finely engineered machines If a dyna cost what it is actually worth...

    The ugly truth about sport bikes

    You won't pay attention to these videos/sentiments once you understand where it's coming from. As dudes get older, or crash, or for whatever reason - they realize that for them personally it's not worth the discomfort, impracticality, or other reason to own/ride sport bikes regularly on the...

    Naked bikes? #bikeporn

    It feels slow and heavy to me, but I am coming from SS and big 1000CC twins...I'm not knocking the bike I actually like it quite a bit for commuting and long trips. Mine is a '13 as well. I never get less than 5.5/100, even riding really hard, 4.8-5 on road trips. Do you have a pipe or a...

    Naked bikes? #bikeporn

    ??? Do we have the same Fz8-S/Fazer8? They have 90HP stock, and get 5L/100 average, under 5 if you are just cruising around. Downsides for me: - bargain basement suspension (but fixable by fitting FZ1/R1 stuff, check FZ8 forums). - low horsepower (definitely under 100 and noticeably slower...

    Question for you lane splitters

    Lived in CA where its legal - yes, it's legal, not just "not illegal", as long as you are doing it in a "safe and prudent manner" it's legal. I occasionally split in really bad jams here - you guys saying Canadian drivers are "the worst" have clearly never driven in many other places - most...

    ALWAYS fight your tickets!!

    I haven't received a moving violation in years...the last one I got was for travelling the same speed as traffic around me; the out of shape officer explained to me that "here in Ontario" we "don't allow that on bikes". You don't have to be a prolific speeder to see that we have big problems...

    ALWAYS fight your tickets!!

    If you feel this way, don't reproduce. That way those of us capable of critically evaluating laws and enforcement practices will be safe from oppression by those who are incapable.

    The case for filtering

    My superbike was 18 bucks a month (without collision insurance). BUT - cleaner air here, nicer (in better shape/repair) roads, healthcare...Ontario is actually pretty great, it's just the people that are the problem. Too many libtards, not enough critical thinking.

    Police Look To Identify Group Of Stunt Driving Motorcyclists

    Of COURSE they shouldn't be allowed to check people "at will" - what the ****? where did you grow up, Soviet Russia? I don't understand why people are so happy to hand over their freedom to people who sometimes don't even have a college education or much life experience. "At will" stops are...

    Mulholland Drive Question

    Nobody "happens upon" that corner - that part of Mulholland is not really "on the way" to anywhere...people who are riding it are riding it on purpose. Sorry if my actually living there and riding that road is spoiling your perception of what's going on...but that's just not how it is.

    Mulholland Drive Question

    As someone who used to ride that corner/road fairly often, I can tell you it is a feature of that area, they don't change it because it brings in tourism money and because they are proud of it. Also, California does not have the corrupt insurance problems of Ontario - minor crashes do not...

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    It is safer, and that's why it is legal in other places. I realize if you're old it's a scary prospect, but you are doing yourself a disservice by posting with this tone and theme - that it is still a debate...there is no debate. If done correctly it IS safer...discussions need to focus on the...

    Want to Live? Stay Away from Semi-Trucks ...good article

    I have a really positive view of my fellow humans in general, I assure you it's just you specifically. As for on the road, I'll finish a confrontation if someone else starts one but for the most part I just keep my eyes and brain focused on making it to where I'm going safely (I don't flip...

    Motorcycle Gang Confrontation

    hey all you brave warriors - here's an idea: if you're "swarmed" by bikes...just don't stop...unless you're one of those idiots who is always driving around on empty...guess what, the bikes are gonna have to stop for gas before you do. if you feel like it you could even call 911 while you make...

    ******* taxi drivers

    Re: ******* taxi drivers That's the cutest way of saying you're tough on the internet I've ever seen. Look dude, I'm not saying you're a complete wuss because of your attitude but come on - at least try to have some masculinity and pride about you...if it bothers you that some guy rides his...
