    Well this could be problematic....

    Hey guys, last fall I moved to a condo with underground parking. Today was my first day taking the bike out and as I was approaching the garage door, I realized it didn't trigger the door to open! It eventually opened when a car was coming from the other side (either that or it eventually...

    Ladies, would you rock these boots?

    Yeah I have these bulky harley boots for riding that are not very flattering. Motorcycle boots are not made for walking in and if I want to take my bike to get me from point A to point B I want something more stylish, comfortable but still safe for riding. The A* are sexy, but again, not...

    Ladies, would you rock these boots?

    Someone posted this on pinterest and I love them! But it looks like you're just asking for a broken ankle if you ride in these. http://www.leatherup.com/p/Womens-Motorcycle-boots/Xelement-LU8003-Womens-Fashion-Buckle-and-Harness-Motorcycle-Boots/347896.html

    Can-Am Spyder...a motorcycle?

    I saw this at the motorcycle show last year and I really wanted to try one. Does anyone know if they have demo days for the Spyder? It seems like most people are bashing the Spyder, but I think it looks pretty cool. You're still exposed to the elements as you would be on a motorcycle, and...

    Arguments for why bikes should have their own parking spots

    I'm actually thinking next spring, for all the riders to take 1 car parking spot near the entrance. 10 bikes, 10 car spots. Just to make a statement. Of course, that means I have to wake up earlier....

    Arguments for why bikes should have their own parking spots

    You won't feel any discomfort until you hit your 3rd trimester. And it's not about laziness. We have a little golf cart that picks up people who are parked further away, so it was about laziness, I would just hop on one those. Parking further away means you have less visibility of your...

    Arguments for why bikes should have their own parking spots

    I guess you can also say that about bikes. We have spots for bicycles to park in the parking lot but close to the entrance, but it's not like anyone ride their bike to work in the winter time or on rainy days. I know the University of Windsor has a parking spot designated for bikes and...

    Arguments for why bikes should have their own parking spots

    I got a warning letter on my bike today for parking on a yellow crossed line at work. I've always parked at the crossed line, but usually on the other side of the parking spot, in a corner, and it's less visible. I guess this one was more visible. I want to walk in the security office, and...

    Chain too tight, help!

    Hey guys, I was working on it all day today and I think I got it... or at least it's the closest I'm going to get to it. I was working on it with the side stand down, using a jack just to lift the rear tire off the ground. I pushed the tires in and it loosened up. I used the trick with the...

    Chain too tight, help!

    My chain was too loose after I rode my bike up from Windsor... so I was watching youtube videos on how to tighten it. Looks easy, I thought to myself... As I got started, my landlord came by, and I asked his help to unbolt the axle bolt. Then he went and unbolted the adjuster nut. He was...

    What if my parking ticket "accidently" flew away in the wind?

    Oh yeah, where did you get that from? I doubt the city would to that extent to collect a parking fine. My ticket says "parking on private property without consent" so that means the mall issued it or they called someone on me. I used to park near the entrance at the Superstore, where I used...

    Truck reverse parked over my bike. Wait for cash or go through insurance?!?

    Depends how much she's willing to give you! My friend got cut off by a car and crashed. His bike was a write-off. He said going through insurance was a pain in the ***, and he barely got anything for it.

    What if my parking ticket "accidently" flew away in the wind?

    We're talking about a parking ticket here, not a speeding ticket! I was reading ticketcombat.com, and they did say that the ticket is invalid if the paperwork isn't filed within 75 days. I'm thinking, if they send me a reminder by mail, and because I don't live there anymore, can't my family...

    What if my parking ticket "accidently" flew away in the wind?

    Thanks for your input guys. But this is what I'm thinking - my address is in Windsor but I now live in Mississauga. Can I renew my plates in Mississauga or do I need to go to Windsor to do that? And if that's the case, the MTO office in Sauga won't have record of a parking ticket in Windsor...

    What if my parking ticket "accidently" flew away in the wind?

    I got a parking ticket this weekend when I visited Windsor... And I forgot it at home. Can I use the excuse that I never saw it? It's a reasonable excuse since it's on a bike, right? What's the worse that can happen?

    Anyone know a reliable mechanic?

    I'm bringing my bike up to Mississauga, where I live now. It works fine now, but I wouldn't trust it for long distance riding so I'd get it checked out by a mechanic before doing trips back home. But Windsor only have... 1 bike shop that I know of and I know they'll tell you you need things to...

    Anyone know a reliable mechanic?

    I want to get my bike checked. Last weekend I went home, it had problems starting. My buddy said it could be bad gas, I think maybe the carb needs cleaning since it's been in the garage for a few weeks. When I finally got it working and brought it to my friend's, I dropped it trying to back...
