Men With Guns You have to obey the rules but the men with guns don't. Incidentally, there's a rule which states you may not have the guns. Some food for thought.

Regarding this photo -- I asked this gentleman if I could photo him in Kensington, too (he thanked me for asking, citing that everyone just takes pics of him) not too far apart in time from when you took yours, apparently, so some lolz to that. My sincere condolences to you and Neda for...

Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today Perhaps I'm misreading, but I only see scooters and mopeds.

Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today So who's going to go there and make the case that if scooters can park on sidewalks, that motorcycles should be able to, too?

I have two friends who both live in the same building who had their Hyosung 250s stolen and stripped and left 2 blocks from their homes. Found several days or weeks later, I can't recall how long the gap was. Parts of one Hyo were found bolted onto the other, for some strange reason, and the...

1) Report to Police (surely police have SOME use in this universe? Perhaps this is it.) 2) Murder thieves 3) Collect medal

Everything suggested it was superfluous, especially the lack of somewhere physical to put it into, heh! Plus I asked around on a couple of GSXR forums and one guy did suggest it was superfluous since he had a similar setup. Lame that ALL of the Suzuki bike dealerships in the GTA that I...

Ah forget it. I left it unplugged and fired up the motor - no FI light, no codes thrown, it should be all good.

Just did valve clearances/shim replacement, had the whole bike apart and it's now almost in one piece again EXCEPT: For the life of me I can't seem to find where this one coupler goes! It's a two-pronged plug, seems to have orange/white and brown wires -- service manual says it's the EVAP...

After 51,000 km of riding all around the continent in two years, I finally got around to checking my valves on my 2010 GSXR 600 for their first inspection, with a couple of competent friends. Intakes are all worn evenly. Normal Range is 0.08-0.18, and they're all (all 8 of them) in the middle...

Go farther south, it gets way better. Regarding bugs, nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever beat Louisiana. It was non-stop bugsplattering for many hours, and it's not just one or two per minute or whatever manageable amount one can imagine, but at least 20-50 per minute for the whole...

I suppose after a certain age it becomes easy to both misinterpret a statement and also miss the one that immediately follows (or is it just an Ontarian thing? :P) Don't get your panties in a bunch, this isn't about what kinds of roads 50-something cruiser riders enjoy versus other riders. To...

I find if you're a 50-year old guy with a cruiser or something, Ontario can probably be ok. No offense to 50-year old guys with cruisers or anything, I'm sure they love riding just as much as anyone else -- it's just... Ontario is not nearly enough for my personal tastes. Pennsylvania might be...

So, like any good scientist, I put this theory to the test and rode this over the weekend (2-day ride). My impressions: "mehhhhhhhh, ok I guess". If this was right next door to Toronto, then it might be acceptable, but to have to spend two days going all the way out there to see just this is...

In my travels, there were not too many places I found more disagreeable than Toronto. San Francisco was one of them (another was Atlanta, wow, how on Earth did that place ever beat Toronto for the 1996 Olympics? Must have been one hell of a bribe). California remains my all-time favorite state...

Mount Evans was my first time riding up a mountain. Bike didn't even feel a thing, up all 14,000 feet. Fifteen Celsius with 12 foot snowbanks on either side, what an awesome experience.

Thanks, I have all of these, and more, on my Mapsource software. For my first ride around the continent I spent 3 months non-stop scouring that map of North America, trying to identify every good road imaginable, all selected based on their curviness, topography, and road...

Yup. That is exactly the plan I'm working on. I couldn't agree more! I went to Terra Cotta last year for the first time, having heard such nice things about it, as optimistic as ever about anything riding-related, and it was just "ok", for about 5 minutes. I mean I enjoyed it insofar as...

There are many, many, many reasons why I loathe Ontario (crappy people, crappy police, lack of interesting things to see and do, overpriced everything) and ultimately as a rider: crappy roads. By no means do I list everywhere awesome; here is but a small comparison of the "best" Ontario has to...

TECHNICALLY for 7.5 years, but who's counting :P ? Y'all should also look at the very bottom of the page for 2012: Marc and I: Still pals QED.
