First year hitting up track days, picked my bike up late last season. I have pre booked 4 full days and 2 half days at GB since it's so close to me. Can't wait to see a bunch of you out there and have some fun.

there is a box you have to check so it keeps your out going PM's.

if you have your M license talk to Allstate. They have good rates for 30+ year old riders with M for 4 or more years.

Got an update from Vinnie at Allstate a few days ago. I got the elite rider discount (30% off) a few months early, he put in an exception for me. Now paying around $80 a month for my 2008 GSX-R 750. Overall savings from last year to this year on car and bike $1200+.

I was paying $281.00 a month for my 05 Civic and 08 GSX-R 750 last year. This year I am down to $216.00 a month for both. With Allstate both years. $780.00 dollars savings! Track days paid for.

I thought Grand Bend wasn't set up to accommodate the CSBK? safety issues or something. I'm glad they are on the roster as I am within an hour of the track and will be doing track days there this year. Excited to see some Canadian talent this close to home at the CSBK level.

It is guiderail not guardrail. Guardrail implies it will keep you safe from all obstacles behind. There are several standards and tons of testing done to implement the guiderail that is installed along provincial highways. Warrants must be met for its installation and there are several...

I like the blue myself. In October I picked up a black R3 for the girlfriend on a screaming deal though.

Ville Motogear is working on a short glove. Might be something to look into. From what I remember they are perforated and very reasonably priced. Ville Motogear is local to Toronto and the site as well.

I picked up a used 2015 R3 for my girlfriend. I paid $3400 for it and it only had 5900 kms; also came with a full yoshimura exhaust. I was talking to the dealer here in London and a 2015 R3 was $5100 all in. The R3 is a great little bike and you'd have a ton of fun and learn how to ride with...

That was my logic and thinking. Glad it makes sense to someone else. :)

Thanks guys. I feel sliding the forks or removing the top yolk would be about the same amount of effort. Steve, If I go aftermarket I'd have to go woodcraft as I need at least an inch of rise for clearance. Once the two piece ring is installed it should just be bars that need replacing if...

The only way I can see to do it on the SV is by popping the top triple plate, The SV only has one pinch bolt so it can't be pulled off with out; has to be slide up the top of the fork leg. Dricked enlighten me if I am missing something would love to know any tips or tricks. I think I'll be...

Thanks KneeDragger. I should have said the bike was previously a SOAR race bike and does have the relocation plates (up and back) for the rearsets and solid knurled foot pegs. From what I can tell they are factory rear sets slightly modified. For the cost of aftermarket rearsets I can...

I have purchased a 2003 SV650 ($1000 keep that in mind) and can't wait to get out for some track days next year. I have replaced a few parts here and there on it that were damaged from the previous owner have a few offs (throttle tube, brake lever and other small bits) Now that the bike has...

Had I not picked up my 03 SV650 I would have been all over that GSXR boyoboy. Anyone want to buy a track day ready SV650? Can be race ready with little work.

Taking the afternoon and tomorrow off. Planning a few nice rides since the weather is going to be great. Stay safe out there.

No worries man. I haven't had any issues with these stands, my girlfriend now has them, my aunt and uncle both use them. I'm sure higher end stands are lighter and have better leverage points etc... but for me I have no issues popping the bike up off the ground and have never come out to a...

They aren't cyclocross bikes as they still have drop bars. Norco calls it an adventure bike. The Norco range starts outside your budget but other companies may have something to offer. http://www.norco.com/bikes/road/adventure/search-aluminum/

if you are looking for mostly pavement most higher end bike stores now have a model of bike that looks a lot like a road bike but with knobby tires and disc brakes. Might be fitting the bill of what you are looking for.
