I'm surprised I haven't seen this posted more often. I see so many riders with this same problem. Particularly cruisers with straight pipes... ...okay I'm done now.

Haven't ordered anything from Glen for a bit, but another +1 for him. Nicest guy with the best service & great prices. Definitely worth to support!!

I always get the impression that both lefties and righties are equally bad in implementing more draconian laws of the road.

I wear prescription sunglasses so would it also look stupid if you're wearing glasses in your full face? No... The one thing I always wondered was the brand clashing. Say you ride a Honda, but you want a triumph motorcycle jacket because it looks nice, and yet you don't own one. Is that a...

1) Get a 5 year driving abstract. Information: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/record.shtml, and find out when it "falls off your record". Also find out from the Police if you have a criminal record or an arrest on your record and do not lie to the US border patrol folks, or...

Get something to match your nickname... Speed or Street Triple. :P Those are on my wish list, anyway...

Sorry for the late reply... It has been my consistent experience, that if there are two cars side by side at a light and I'm pulling up behind them, the mini van will ALWAYS accelerate faster than the other car. No matter if the other car is a Porsche, sedan, compact, truck... the mini van...

I wear my joe rocket pants over my jeans, but only with the inside liner taken out. If it was raining and I was just going for a scoot I would put the liner in and maybe wear long johns underneath the pants... though I haven't done that yet. I find it comfortable, though in the summer it would...

minivans, hands down. The only thing i trust minivans for is always being first off the line at a stop light.

Fixed that for you.

I wish there was lots of salt on the apartment steps my dad was exiting from when he slipped and broke his ankle, and then had to wait 45 minutes before someone called an ambulance and then finally got to him. Even the tens of thousands of dollars he received from the insurance claim wasn't...

That should read: "City of Toronto allows motorcycles on some HOV lanes." e.g. - Bay St does NOT allow motorcycles. - Don Mills allows motorcycles. I thought Bay St allowed motorcycles in the HOV lanes but read into it and didn't see anything on that particular street.

I was looking at a vstrom at Brampton Powersports and noticed the following: Dealer: http://www.bramptonpowersports.com/motorcycle/new/SUZUKI/2011-SUZUKI-V-Strom+650-3743d17a40463845012c788761b1d9c1.htm New 2011 Suzuki VStrom 650 DL650 Naked - $6,999 + tax (freight & PDI included in price)...

I would have bought it but didn't have the $$$ at the time. Ah well!

I saw a fully orange (I think it was orange, don't remember anymore) Laverda in mint condition up north over the summer. It was for sale. Not sure how rare they are here though I imagine you can't buy them from dealers here. The owner said he imported it from the UK when he moved here... ah...

Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today Yeah but, it's not just about the whole right vs priviledge, it's also about not being a soulless "unfun" city. I remember when I was in high school I would leave Btown in my mom's car (yeah that's right, I was...

To add to this thread, never lie about your criminal past, even if you're 40 and got arrested at 19 for smoking a joint in a park. A friend has to apply any year he wants to go to the US and has to pay something like $1000 or more. EVERY YEAR it gets reset!! (And he rides a motorcycle, too)

Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today I think requiring any motorist to have a phone as a mandatory device for parking a bike is out of the question, maybe to make things easier, sure. The current system simply won't work, even though you have receipts on...

http://www.useblue.com/index.en.html blue cross is another choice. There's no reason to drop $50 on insurance if you intend on doing a motorcycle trip or anything else longer than a day or so. I think the risk ratio of not getting it when you go to the buffalo outlet malls is acceptable, but...

I must have missed it, 'cause I read the whole thing and even did a search for "tacho". Maybe someone spiked my eggnog...
