    Finding a License Plate Frame...

    I bought a clear plate protector from CT a few years back and it fits my plate properly. The problem I'm having now is that my plate doesn't fit my new bike... BMW F800ST... On the holes don't line up so I had to zip tie it on.

    New Bike!

    New Bike... that I got when I traveled back to 2007 in my time machine! I just picked up a 2007 BMW F800ST from Budds' in Oakville, (I hopped in my time machine, traveled back to 2007, and brought it back) and wanted to give a thumbs up to sales guys Peter and Steve! Let's hope for a short...

    1999 BMW F650ST F650 with Corbin Seat

    Selling my 1999 BMW F650ST. The F650ST is well known around the world for its solid reputation, flexibility, and quality of build. The single cylinder 652cc, Rotax-built engine produces 43hp and 39 lb-ft of torque. I was actually surprised how smooth it is for a thumper. There are great online...

    Used Bike - Registration/Insurance Confusion

    When I was with State Farm a while back, the agent had me send him a picture of the vin plate, and a shot of the bike from either side. If you're having a hard time with one agent, just go to another... there's state farm offices everywhere. FWIW, I dealt with Seamus Kelly out of Hamilton...

    Ontario Cycle Salvage closing

    I think I read somewhere that Twisted Throttle had bought all or part of A Vicious, but the same people would be running the show. Either way, they've been really good to deal with in the past.

    Looking for motorcycle repair shop

    I had my tires done by Matt at 905... I was very happy with his work, and really appreciated his honesty. It's a little out of the way for me, but I would happily go back again.

    Insurance for older bikes

    I had my '78 insured with State Farm. I dealt with Seamus Kelly 888-476-3276... he was great to deal with, and came to me to get the paperwork signed. TD wouldn't insure it, they said it was too old, and Dalton Timmis wanted something ridiculous like $3k for basic liability, despite...

    Shop Recommendation - 905 Motorsport in Woodbridge

    I haven't seen them mentioned on here before, but I wanted to give a :thumbup: to Matt at 905 Motorsport. I got a new set of tires from him, installed and balanced. His pricing was competitive with Pete's Superbike and Canada's Motorcycle, and a lot cheaper than a dealer!

    Bulb/ wiring

    I was having a similar problem, when I replaced the socket, I ended up soldering and putting on heat shrink. It may be over-done but I haven't had a problem since.

    Protector Cover for your foot

    I saw them at Corsa Meccanica last time I was there. I thought about getting one, but my left boot is already scuffed up.

    Bmw f650cs

    I have the F650ST, which is the previous model, but with the same engine. I've had no issues getting parts from BMW for the bike, occasionally I've had to wait a week or so for parts to come in from Germany, but you can get aftermarket parts like brakes and rotors from most shops. Just keep in...

    How many bikes do you have?

    I could be way off, but I thought in BC you can have up to 5 bikes on 1 policy for liability, you pay for the most expensive. Damage/theft is taken out separately.

    How many bikes do you have?

    :thumbup: I'd have both of them on the road if I didn't need to have 2 separate insurance policies!

    1/4" torque wrench

    Just take it back to Princess Auto and they will exchange it for a new one... they're really good about this kind of stuff. I did it a few year's ago when my 3/8" on was acting kind of funky.

    Budds BMW Mottorad Demo Day - May 26th

    Had the exact same experience at Open Road BMW a few years back before it became Serpa. I have no issue with giving to a good cause, just the way they approached it left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Newmarket/Aurora this weekend? May 23/24

    Thanks for the ride! Sorry about some of the funky riding... my spedo kept cutting out past 80km, and the bike kept randomly surging. It's been totally fine up until today, then it died 2mins from home! I suspect it's the voltage regulator... it's pretty common on these bikes evidently.
