    Got rear ended

    Your car is a write off. Too much damage and the pillars are buckled. That's usually a major indicator. Exact same happened to me a few years back in a 4 door Civic. All clear as far as fault, but insurance company will remind you of "a claim" years later. As stated above, don't be signing off...

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2016 / Winter 2017 edition)

    My season may be over. North of Burlington there's salt brine soaked roads everywhere on Wednesday morning and last night had a salt truck go by twice.

    BMW diesel oil

    With all the other brands, wasn't "Long Life" always the giveaway that they had additives that weren't wet clutch friendly?

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2016 / Winter 2017 edition)

    600km loop to Rosseau for lunch and back on Friday. 7:30am departure was a tad chilly, but man was it worth the vacation day!

    Used bike purchase

    Read the fine print. Most actual stuff that goes is excluded as mentioned above and the kicker on some of those 3rd party warranties is that the coverage is null and void if the repair is worth more than the value of the bike. (ie. Engine and Tranny go, they say they wouldn't get a couple grand...

    Post A Picture Of Your Latest Purchase

    Very nice! We just brought home our Durango too. Limited, same colour, but the V-6 Pentastar.

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2016 / Winter 2017 edition)

    450km loop along the north shore of Lake Erie on Saturday. Great ride and had lunch on a patio in Port Stanley. Not many of those kind of days left!!

    valve clearance adjustment

    Bike Specific and mileage driven. However; Street bike? Check the manual and consult a GOOD, EXPERIENCED mechanic. I4 SS bikes usually say 24k or so, I had my litre bike done at 35k and had one exhaust and one intake a hair out of spec. At the recommended interval, barring total bike abuse...

    RACE #1 Plate holder

    On what basis does one "protest" the People's Champion award?

    Good place to get Motul 300V in the GTA

    Can Am Spyder

    Last summer, along a single lane highway, I came up to a group of them. Watching them, one by one, put more than half of their machine into oncoming traffic just to see if its clear to make a pass on a slow moving tractor with a trailer was the scariest thing I've watched in a while. Center...

    Saw a supersport today, but it took a while.

    100%. Seeing a lot of this (again) lately. Tiny little eBay LEDs that flash like a dim strobe and brake lights that barely change from running to braking. Maybe cool in the Timmies lot, but get rid of that cheap crap. Not trying to be a crusty old man, but considering most cagers don't see us at...

    Cr250r won't start

    Sounds like rings or reeds. Clean the carb and check the reeds first. Those are easy. It IS a 2 smoker, so rings are definitely a regular thing. Have you rebuilt it lately?

    Bought GSXR 750.. First bike - What should I do...

    It's a Suzuki, needs nothing but fresh oil and gas. Get good gear, wear it all the time, get the suspension set up for your weight, book a rider training course for next spring, enjoy it! Can defer the valve clearance inspection until 35-40k as anything earlier and they will likely be well...

    What should I do for track days in regards to bike?

    Definitely sounds like you have the right mindset and all the gear lined up. Awesome to read/see the enthusiasm! Food for Thought: By the time you get track fairings, wheels, tires and other bits (nevermind the time and effort to switch over for every track day), you've probably paid for an...

    Trail tours, horrible experience!

    A shame to read this. We just did it the following day from yours (Sunday 17th) and they were more than accommodating in every way. Instructors for every level of riding. Willing to let you really push yourself (safely of course) and have a blast. Our group had everything from an advanced MX...
