Great idea. Something I'm going to remember when my boy is old enough to be a passenger.

This is the big problem. Stock. If a local store does not stock what I want then there no incentive for me to buy from them. I can order it as easy as the shop. Like Rob, eventually I will give up on a shop if everytime I look for something they don't have it in stock. The other "issue"...

I'm assuming these are rain tires meant for riding in wet conditions. Ever watch a rain race where the track starts to dry? The riders try to find wet sections of the track to ride on to keep the tires cool. I'd expect these tires would self destruct if ridden on dry pavement for an extended...

Rob, I know this. I was quoting your post where you said an out of court settlement was effectively a plea bargain.

I understand what you are saying but I'm with the poster who thinks that the possibility of going to court and getting a higher fine is a form of intimidation. There should be no penalty for going to court to fight a charge. The "plea bargain" should not be done by the police officer. "Plea...

Don't get caught up in this guy's views. He and a couple others make sure to post in all threads dealing with winter riding. They all seem to have forgotten the pure joy in just riding. I kind of feel sorry for them. Keep riding when you want on what you want. Let the naysayers post while...

The more powerful the bike the more frustrating it is to ride slow. You use such a small percentage of it's potential that it is almost criminal. I understand that you don't find any enjoyment in shifting gears or having to work at keeping the bike in a power band. I do. On a powerful bike...

But why have a fast bike if you have to go slow? As I explained earlier this is very frustrating... :)

I disagree with your disagreement.... :) Sure you use the power when accelerating but you have to shut it down very quickly or you hit 172 territory. Maybe a better way to describe my feeling is that you can use only a small amount of the potential of the litre class bike on the street. The...

I'm very frustrated every time I ride a litre bike and realize I can't really twist the throttle in anger without hitting hta 172 territory. It annoys me to no end to have all this potential power and not really get to use it.

For some riders this is true. For me bigger engine, more torque and power = boring, frustrating and less street friendly. Smaller engine, less torque and power = fun, less frustrating and more street friendly.

Regardless of what you think about some aspects of Salos's post, the advice about attending a few trials as an observer is right on. I still remember very vividly the first time I defended myself and the sinking feeling I had when I realized I was at an actual trial. I would have been much...

This is the point exactly.

I am not sure how the message I quoted is agreeing but whatever, no big deal....

What Sunny posted is correct. An extended ABS brake release is a very scary situation and it fits perfectly with what happened to lowrider's wife.

Why have you been taking the subway to work the last 3 weeks? It has been great riding weather (for December) all month....

He was quoting a post on the RSV4 so I expect he was referencing the RSV4 with regards to maintenance.

You are welcome. Anything to help. Maybe I can help with your resource issues, a train ticket is not that expensive....

If Toronto and indeed Canada are so awful, then why do you stay? Seriously, if it is so bad for you here then pack up and go someplace you find treats you better. Please.
