    Recommended front and rear stand for my bike...

    Does the swing arm accept spools? If so, that would be the best, most secure type of stand. My recommendation is Pitbull.....pricey, but the last stand you'll ever buy.

    Time for new rubber. Looking for advice on choosing

    What about Dunlop Q3's?

    Just bought some Q2's

    Are you aware that the Q3's are out now? Some nice improvements over the Q2 for basically the same price.

    Good Yamaha shop for insurance repairs

    Not a dealer. They are some of the best mechanics in the area....they run and support a race team and are expert fabricators.

    Good Yamaha shop for insurance repairs

    I highly recommend Z1 Cycletech in Thornhill. I crashed last July.....repaired to as-new condition.

    Guys with shoei helmets

    From my house?....not really. Otherwise why would you ever be in a position where you are separated from your helmet?

    What do you consider overkill for the street?

    In a word....yes. I crashed last July 1. Had I been wearing jeans, I might not be walking very well today, since I banged up my right knee quite nicely. The pants I wear (Alpinestars Sport A10 Leather/Textile) are leather where it counts (knees, front of lower leg, butt) and well padded with...

    Chain Lube suggestions for a long trip

    Small (4 oz.) squeeze bottle of DuPont Chain-Saver. I know that Lowes carries the 14 oz. spray cans....I think they should also have the small squeeze bottles.

    Knee guards/armour with full boots

    Why not go with a pair of leather or leather/textile riding pants with built-in armour? They're designed to work well with race boots. My A* Sport A10 leather/textile work perfectly with the SMX+.

    What kind of Alpinestar leather pan zip up to my jacket (A* GP-R Perforated Leather)?

    Should mate up with the Track, A-10 Sport leather/textile, GP Plus, etc.

    Broke my damn ice scraper trying to clear the windshield this morning.

    Recommend me textile mesh pants for hot weather riding

    If you're going to wear mesh pants over jeans, you won't be getting any air flow through to your legs anyway. You might as well just wear a single pair of non-ventilated pants, maybe a heavier leather/textile combo like the Alpinestars Sport A10 Leather/Textile. All the protection you would ever...

    Tomorrow's Weather

    Nope. Riding is strictly a weekend/summer evening pleasurable activity for me. No interest in feeling uncomfortable while I ride....I have a vented jacket and don't want to bother purchasing cold weather gear, heated grips, etc. I figure if I'm comfortable when I ride I'm a better rider since I...

    Tomorrow's Weather

    This has the potential to delay the start of my riding season by a week or two. I had been patiently waiting for a warming trend (I won't ride below 12C or so) combined with a couple of cleansing rains to get rid of the salt and sand (which we've had this week). With the threat of freezing rain...

    Picking a slip on

    I've got a M4 GP slipon on my '11 GSX-R750. Not too loud with the insert, black, subtle, inexpensive, decent quality. For me, the nice thing is that you don't need a rear hanger and it lets you remove the pillion footpegs.

    wash and wax spray

    I use Autoglym Rapid Detailer. I seldom need to do a full wash of the bike when I use this regularly.....plus I generally only ride in fair weather.

    Temperance street parking

    I'm in the Plaza. The closest I get to that construction is the noise I hear in the concourse when I get coffee every morning at Marche.
