He's probably referring to Donald from Platinum Powersports ... I didn't see John at TMP when I was there.

Bottle brush ...

They didn't at that price. Probably removed the intakes and exhaust and cleaned from there. A hammer with a punch and cleaner / lube will generally fix sticky valves. If things were gummed up enough to cause the low / no compression issue shown in the video the proper way would be to pull the...

You look great in your helmet!

Passing has nothing to do with coming up on a bike doing half your speed or drafting a bike that rolls off the throttle without warning or reason.

The problem is not being predictable on the track. Down the straights people expect the other bikes to be accelerating. If you can't count on the riders being predictable then it's more dangerous. In fact, there was an accident during practice last weekend (CSBK) where a rider did the same thing...

Posts 61 and 63 to start. Someone died last year at Bogie doing the same sort of thing between corners 4 and 5.

There was constructive criticism provided ... it was ignored.

One handed, left or right. The only ones that are a problem is when the chick refuses to believe she needs a larger size and there's an unreasonable amount of pressure on the clasp. Fitted properly it's a simple tug, pinch and slide of the thumb and finger.

There are specific questions within the post: "What is an actual reasonable price? Perfect cosmetic condition, no mods, less than 24,000 km? Also, is it really that bad of an idea to buy a street legal bike that has been tracked with?" The OP is looking for people opinions on reasonable...

Use insulation spray foam, works great.

The problem with asking for this type of feedback is that people take one course or the other not both. Typically the only negative feedback on this type of course is going to be from the people that think they're Rossi going into the course and have a hard time with the instructors or are...

I would recommend a DRZ as a street supermoto, exceeds at nothing but does everything well. Insurance on my DRZ is under $50 a month. I was paying $80 for the same coverage on an R6.

The cost of the tires for the recall were only charged out to the dealer for inventory control. The only money actually changing hands was Ford paying labour for the work. I'll doubt you'll ever get an answer to your question because the people who actually know the numbers are pretty far up...

I worked for Ford during the Firestone recall ... tires were costing us a lot more than $8

I was avoiding stating that they're cast, though I think all are these days, because someone would state that they have forged rims and so it doesn't apply. Metal fatigue affects all repaired rims, cast being the worst. I'm impressed that people are able to straighten them without snapping a...

A fixed rim is weaker because the metal where the bend in the rim was has now been bent twice. Just like if you bend a twist tie back and forth until it breaks, same sort of thing.

Compounds are no where near as important when channelling water as the quality of the sipes. The tires aren't typically at a temp when dealing with standing water that compounds make a difference. Soft vs. med. vs. hard compounds of the same street tire are going to have very similar traction in...

Try replacing the timing chains on an Audi 4.2 ... step one remove engine. The chains are at the back of the motor.
