When you're doing work for hire from someone you aren't even sure where they live, it sure makes a case for taking down their info from the 'ownership' at time of dropping it off. This would also answer a few of these other unknowns. IMO, harsh as it might sound, personally, I think a 'shop'...

Ya, and the lawyer that screwed up enough for her to get out early should be on the poop diet. What bleeping mess they made of that whole thing.

If your spoked rims have tubed tires, make sure you don't let the solvents and oils get on the base of the spokes as it can be drawn in to the tubes inside. Doesn't take much to make it past the thin rubber spoke-end protector strip. Works its way in by cappiliary action. I love shaft drive or...

Good point about a stationary vs moving object. I wonder how the scene is handled if car in front 'kicks up' debris. Now it is a moving object which they owned by default of having hit being stationary. Hopefully Viffer can weigh in on this. As for retreads, I can tell you fairly definitively...

And I'd say you could safely add basic reasoning and comprehension to the list.

If you think that moving to BC to escape levels of bureaucracy and collusive gvt corruption that gouge your paycheck to shreds, will cost you less thee than in Ontario, good luck to ya. You'll find out. And another little tidbit that may not be as much of an issue in BC as it is in our eastern...

He was a car-jacker and a thief! 150 times!! Try to use your imagination enough to factor in how many near misses/partial hits happened before he finally killed someone. Doesn't sound minor to me.

"Banned from driving for life but......" But nothing. Far too many soft attitudes around here..what kind of message should we sending with punishments of such incorrigible repeat offending crimes? You really think coddling with acceptance, forgiveness and leniency will rehabilitate?? Get a...

True, but getting maimed (especially if you end up never being able to expel body waste into anything other than a colostomy bag) or a brain injury leaving you one protein cell north of a vegetable, is usually a far bigger deal. Well..for the rider anyway..In case you do happen to get that...

The crook makes almost $236000/ year for his efforts. Out in 3.5 to do it all over again...what kind of soft message is that we are sending him? The entire 1.2 mil needs to get recovered to help pay for his trial that we the tax payers have paid, plus he should be deported like yesterday..maybe...

A bicycle can do that..

The entire thread is moot. Have any of you guys actually been a passenger on a bike? And have you ridden your own bike? If you answer yes to both, then you surely know that being a passenger doesn't tell you dick about what a bike is really about....unless you count being totally helpless and...

No one change is going to solve the problem. But every little bit helps, and allowing bikes in HOV lanes would help. No one can deny it. But they also need to have a complete about-face change of thought in the GTA. They are quick to talk about removing free bike parking. Completely against...

The first thing I would do is check all fasteners for correct torque, paying special attention to engine and frame mounting bolts. Bar end weights are sized by the manufacturer to reduce vibes in the rev range they expect most users of that bike will ride in. Using bigger weights will not...

Hope you both can get healed up as new again. Fitz, do you know what sliced open your arm so badly? Did it cut through your jacket or did cuff ride up and expose arm? Leather?

No ****ing kidding....just managed to get that sucker option ticked off today myself. I thought this wet-mold of a thread had died the death it truly deserves..substantiated in spades by continued ridiculous statements of hers/his made below in what hopefully is her/his last quote. YOU...

Excellent! Looks like it was fine day. In looking at the ergos of the Thruxton, it looks best suited to always being on the move and at a fair clip at that. The bars look low enough that you count on upper body air to unload your wrists a bit. Probably the tank bag interferes with that task a...

Debating ABS (on bikes, NOT cars, as I too have cursed ABS in a car more than once...although not all systems are created equal and ignorance quickly labels all the same) (nor are ABS systems identical in bikes as Low rider's post would seem to indicate...I recommend him try an ABS equipped...

Damn I appreciated reading that. I wish more riders would assert their space and we wouldn't have as many cages mindlessly squeezing us. Even if 1% more of these ******** just gave it a second thought, we'd all be safer. "Geez...I better wait..the last guy I squeezed almost broke my window. Deep...

Or a spot of grease off a big truck's ball or U-joint that just got serviced. Or the patch of oil that a vehicle's main crank seal or poor fitting oil filter seal has allowed to leak out while it was waiting in line at the lights.. And of course no biker ever gets caught out in the rain.. I...
