    Chicken Strips.

    And riding season starts. By the way, how can I get rid of my chicken strips? Can I take sand paper and just rub them off? Can I counter lean in a parking lot? They just don't look good with my bike, I like the look without the strips. Whenever I go to chill at the Timmies all the other riders...

    Hey everyone, Hypothetical question over here. If someone were to run a red light, and see the cameras flashing to take a picture, and then receive in the mail a ticket, would this affect the persons insurance? I have read similar posts and it was said that because the police cannot prove who...

    Custom luggage rack for SV650 or SV1000

    Hey everyone, I bought a one-off custom rack for my SV1000S, and realize I don't need it anymore... Its a SV grab rail that was cut and machined with a plate custom fit on top (with holes in it). The rack looks very well done. I bought it off of another forum, it was made by an engineer...

    Spring Revamp Inquiry!

    +1 to vipers comment. Those 2 shops are the most BS-free shops I've been to. These guys won't do stuff to your bike unless it needs in, at least that has been my experience (they both have talked me out of mechanical work because the bike didn't need it but I asked for it to be done)

    Full M

    I took the m2exit course at humber (hershey center) early last season. I donated to ride for sight and got the class for free as a 'prize'. The course is literally just to get you to pass the m2 exit. They teach you how to do things like when to check your blindspot, lane positioning, etc...

    Those three disks in the roadway

    As far as I know those are to mark the magnetic strips under the pavement that sense whether a vehicle needs the light to change or not. If you look at intersections with stoplights you will notice as you approach 'cut outs' filled with black rubber in the pavement. On a motorcycle you want...

    Drilling holes into metal (to make a givi base plate fit)

    what do you want out of a motorcycle? How does your Bike make you feel?

    I want my motorcycle to have better acceleration than 99% of vehicles on the road. When I'm on my bike I feel like a super hero, no one can catch me unless I slow down and allow them to. With great power comes great responsibility though... There I go rambling I really do feel like a super...

    University of Toronto Riders Unite!

    Thought this thread needed a revival. Looks super nice out and I've been dabbling with the idea of starting a motorcycle club (even if it isn't official) at u of t. Weekly rides most likely, I'd post them in the rides area when things are finalized. So, who goes to u of t and rides a bike...

    Awaken and Wash Your Beasts....

    Was riding a bunch today as well. Never really put the bike away this winter though. Saw lots of bikes out, especially downtown. There was probably 10-20 bikes outside of the hard rock cafe at dundas square. Everyone seems to be riding sportbikes these days. They all look the same to me (imo)

    SV1000S not starting unless throttle open a bit

    Hey everyone, So I've realized over the winter that my bike (suzuki sv1000s 2007) doesn't like starting unless I give it a bit of throttle. The engine will turn over without throttle, just won't actually start. I didn't really winterize my bike this year and thus never charged up the battery...

    1st sportbike (riding advice for new sportbike rider)

    You could take a course like pro rider at humber its under $200 I think. Basically they have you go around a 180 degree turn, coaching you and getting you to lean more each time. Or you could cough up the cash for Lee Parks total control course coming to Toronto this summer. Google "total...
