I was thinking the same (counterfeit) for the Aria and rest of their helmets. Also found it interesting that http://cdn.simplesite.com/i/5f/19/285697109102827871/i285697114365826548._szw1280h1280_.jpg didn't have any DOT or helmet standards stenciled on the back of the helmet. Jeff

I plan on calling this week to do this track day. I have 3 vouchers for Tuesdays so I need to start using them. It will be my first trackday since 2002 Mosport and the shake-down of the bike so I hope for nice weather. Anyone know if they do a 'follow the leader' type of thing for lines the...

Hello, I do the same for the same reasons. I have also e-mailed Maxima tech support and got back: "Thank you for contacting Maxima. There is no issue running Maxima Racing Shock Fluid (RSF) in your bike's forks. If anything, RSF is overbuilt in that it has a very high VI for a fork, which is...

I was wondering the same thing. The Police at minimum should have been called and a rear ending (even with no proof of texting) would normally be charges right there. Jeff

I would think you want to use closed cell polyethylene foam ... it's what Nerf uses I believe for most of their 'beat on other kids' stuff. Seems to match the body of the nerf darts scattered around my house. I have ordered a small piece of neoprene I needed from http://canada.foambymail.com/...

I got a Git2 camera last week from Gearbest. I got charged a import brokerage and taxes. I got the Git2 for $109 US (with discount code) but didn't expect the brokerage and tax. Still was $165 all in Canadian. I got the Git2 because you can turn on the Gyro option and it removes a bunch fo...

I was in at Z1 couple weeks back to ask Zaid if I can get shims from him if needed vs getting myself a 'kit'. He asked what kit I was looking at (was one of the aftermarket ones I was looking at) and commented 'I wouldn't use those kits as the shims shatter, just figure out what you need and...

In the mid 90's I worked in Chile and was paid in USD. They played the game of keeping things on the 'up and up' but it was kinda comical how they did it. You take your USD to the Chilean bank and explain you want to send it home to Canada. Well, if it was > $10K then you need to 'clear' the...

If he wants more than liability (ie it's a REALLY nice postie bike) I believe https://www.hagerty.ca/ will insure old bikes. Jeff

I'm in Stouffville and could be up for some rides. Will subscribe and see if times etc work with my family life. Also heading back to the track this year after 13 years off so would be good to know others in the area doing track days as well. Jeff

Hello, I have a new to me 2000 ZX-6R track bike which has Vesrah pads (not sure of model since the pad model is worn off the back, but I assume RJL) and I would like to get new ones. I'd like to keep to the Vesrah so I don't have to media blast my discs to switch pad material. Anyone know...

Welcome Brian, I have family over in the Tandragee area, though haven't visited over then in more than 20 years. I want to return, see family and get to watch NW200 or travel south and see Skerries. Having been on the roads over there in a car I can only imagine what they are like at speed...

Personally, I wouldn't remove weight with holes. The 2 I have done I chucked up in my lathe and removed some material from the outside and and the face. Similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvlliZrEAow (skip to about the 8min mark) OP: have you had this type of flywheel lightened in the...

Ya, I know. One time McBride cycle tried to get me to pay one of his race parts bills rather than the (much smaller) amount I owed for some Suzuki Katana parts :) I use this username for other forums and forget people will think of a different Jeff Williams when it's a Canadian motorcycle...

You will want to hope for some pretty nice weather in the next few days then to make the ride. I was up in Minden and Haliburton (in van) yesterday. Around Minden there was 12in +/- of snow on unplowed roads and generally crappy driving from Coboconk northward. It's supposed to warm up I...

If you want rubber stall mats you can get them in Markham from http://chamberscooke.com/industrial-stall-mats.html My office at home shares a long room in my basement with my squat rack and some shelving. My entire floor (~12x30ft room) is covered with the 5x7 3/4" stall mats. Rubber smell...
