    VR46 - jumped the shark ?

    I have a similar discussion going on the Motogp board. Bottom line as Brian noted above... not much different than the Repsol sponsorship of Honda and MM93 in the end. Repsol has deep dealings with Saudi oil and gas. Not sure why everyone is making the connection with VR46 and the Saudi Govt...

    Prillar... I agree with what you noted regarding the Saudi connection and what they stand for... But in essence the potential VR46 connection is no different than Honda .. Repsol... Repsol has a huge connection with Saudi Arabia gas and oil. So using that logic we shouldn't support Honda in...

    I'm having a difficult time understanding what the moral issue is here. IF VR46 wants to run a team in Motogp and get sponsored from a Saudi Prince how is that any different than say Honda with the Repsol sponsorship? I'm sure if you dig deep enough in all the current team's you will find...

    First post. Thinking of 250cc bike.. any thoughts?

    My first bike was a Kawasaki Ninja 250R . For me it was good first all around bike. For your size and weight . Maybe a 300 c.c. to 400 cc bike like the more recent Ninjas . Or anything similar such as Honda CB 300r, Yamaha R3 ... This range of bike are great bikes all around not necessarily...

    I'm one of those that was never a MM 93 fan. But I for one am glad to see him back. I agree after watching him race and having much respect for all he has gone through. It was weird. I was hoping to see him finish in the top 3. But finishing where he did is remarkable also. I always wondered how...

    Bikes with abnormally low km's

    My second bike was used. It was 2 years old and only had 170 km on it. It was like buying a new bike with $4000 off. Original owner rode only twice. Then decided riding wasn't for him.

    TAFB/Jamie

    I've never had the opportunity to meet Jamie. But he did help me out on This site with some technical issues I was having. So I will say that the impression I had from my few dealings with him are that he's the type of person that wouldn't hesitate to help a complete stranger. He was very...

    KIA engine recall - Fuel/oil leakage inspection .

    I can confirm that Toyota has a different approach to the GDI carbon build up issues other manufacturers are having. I own a 2020 RAV Hybrid with the 2.5 l 4 cylinder engine. That engine has both GDI direct injection and an additional injector prior to the intake valve (regular port injection)...

    On the phone with Rogers. Whats up with them?

    I first used the online live operator when I had to renew. They are worse than on phone person. Their offers seem really bad. Rogers is sneaky when it comes time to billing. Now that we are all electronic billing . They always seem to try and charge more than what was agreed on in the live...

    I'm thinking Franco will be my rider of choice for the title this year. Assuming Marc doesn't come back early and is quickly up to 100%. If I recall Franco came really close to winning the title. I believe he was taken out on a few races that were out if his control. Keeping him on the old bike...

    I may be wrong here. But I thought Franco was on a 2019 bike this season? Yet he still managed to finish second overall. This tells me one of two things . The newer Yamaha bikes could be worse off and JLOS development of the bike was no where to be seen. That could be due to Yamaha or JLO. If...

    I don't really think JLO really had any interest in developing a bike for the guy that took his spot in Yamaha. I bet there's more to the story than what we hear. As far as where the Yamaha riders are. I see only Franco Morbidelli producing., Vinales has been a huge disappointment. Fabio seems...

    Was never a fan of Marcs personality and still can't forget how he screwed Rossi over. But as a fan of the sport I really do hope Marc recovers fully and comes back at 100%. He definitely is one of the greatest out there. This year has been a real interesting year in the race for the MotoGP...

    BMW service/shop?

    They are not in Mississauga but not too far away. You can always try Maranello Motor Sport on Steeles near Weston Rd. You are looking at a 6 week wait time though. It is for me anyway.

    Best local Aprilia mechanic/shop?

    I've had my previous bike serviced at Corsa. I have a mixed review. George the owner seems like an honest person and will not try to oversell any services not required. The shop itself. Well they always seem really busy. Go out back in the morning and watch them take all the bikes out of the...

    Mir should have one that race. It's unfortunate the red flag restart worked against him. I never understood why they are allowed to change tires during a red flag. Everyone should go back out on their current tires. This doesn't seem fair when some of the team's already used up their tire...

    WE - Your Opinion?

    WE is a For Profit charity. They are in business to make money off charitable donations. On top of that they blur lines within their own corporation. This is a quote from Charity intelligence website. Would make me think twice before I gave these guys $20 let alone almost one billion. ME to...

    WE - Your Opinion?

    That's too easy of a solution. The pyramid scam doesn't work when you actually spend the money.
