Like they say in this thread, reply and ask for the VIN. If they won't tell you, run.

Pro6 has 1 SV650 and a few R6s they rent out at their Calabogie track days. Or do Racer5 of Fast. Get training as well as a rental. I think prepping the bike is less of an issue compared to whether your street bike is the best bike for you on a track. Whether you go down on your bike or a...

It also says that he was at the track testing lean angles for his vapor-ware. I guess that means he tries to write off his Ducati and track days as business expenses. Oh, and his product will be further delayed because he is now outfitting them to be used by people in wheelchairs. What a load...

The sandbags prevent rain runoff and debris from getting on the track. Which is a greater risk to more riders, debris all over the track or sandbags placed off the track along straights and not in areas that are direct corner spill zones. One could argue that to remove the sandbags would be...

I missed this because it came under the headings about parking meters & machines, basically allowing the parking app. The City has added some good things for motorcycles at the end of 2017: - It confirms that we can still park for free - It legalizes the dedicated on-street motorcycle parking...

Also, the legislation you quoted allows for the dedicated motorcycle street parking areas on certain streets (between the yellow signs). I hope this means that they now can/will enforce these motorcycle parking areas. It also exempts motorcycles from the posted maximum time limits where there...

These days with the exchange rate and their $40 delivery to Canada, it usually isn't worth it unless you score a smokin deal on a close-out item.

Z1000 has the same frame, motor and swing arm as a Ninja 1000/Z1000SX (in Europe), not a ZX10R. Rear subframe pan is different. Not sure if they kept the actual mount points on the frame so I'm not sure about adding fairings to a Z1000.

Same thing for me. When I bought my Ninja 1000 in 2011, my insurance company first quoted me on a Z1000 because they could not find the N1K on their tables. The Z1000 was less than $100 more than the V-Strom 650 I had at the time. When I gave them the VIN for the N1K, she said "I don't know...

Are you in a lease or month to month? My house in SW Scarborough is for sale. I built an extra long garage with a side door angled to get a bike in and out behind the car without needing to move it. PM me if you're in the market. ;)

Battery was partly drawn down when I put it away (20 min use), but I think the problem was that the trolling motor may have continued to draw it down over the winter. It was stored in an unheated boat house. Yes, I meant battery tender, not trickle charger.

But if you let a battery freeze without being on a trickle charger, you will kill it. Ask me how I know. Fortunately it was a new battery for my boat and Canadian Tire replaced it under the 1 year stupidity warranty.

GP will price match F9, plus you get to try stuff on. I also like F9. Had no issues with them, but I rarely buy anything on-line unless I'm pretty sure I will not be returning it.

It doesn't look like it has any communication capacity, i.e. rider to rider or group of riders, rider to passenger, gps/phone to rider. If it did, it would need to be able to be paired with Sena/Scala devices if it wants to get a foothold in that market. Some form of mike would need to be...

Was that a brown pre-2015 1000 with Givi bags? I recall they were asking high 7s for it. I believe it sold in the fall. If it's the same bike, they made a nice markup on that deal!

I got mine thru Blue Streak Racing years back, but I just checked their site and it doesn't come up. Give Tony a call and see if he still carries them.

GP Bikes & Endras - yes, if they have a designated demo of the bike you are interested in. Snow City - no, they don't have any demos of any of the bikes they sell, claiming insurance reasons. Not sure about other dealers.

Nothing February 27. Next meeting is April 11.

The 2011 Ninja 1000 that I have now was never on my radar. Sat on it at the show & followed up with a dealer solo demo from Kahuna (remember them). After giggling in my helmet the whole ride, I bought the bike. Bikes are all so different, you really need to ride them to know if you're gonna...

Does the extended warranty require you to have your bike serviced at the dealership? If so, add the extra cost of not doing it yourself (or at an independent shop) to your $1,400. Also, dealerships often have delays for service (sorry, we can't fit you in for 2 weeks). I have never taken an...
