I guess that's why the OP hasn't responded for the last 4 pages. No point providing noob advise now like - it's your first dirt bike, get something in your price range thats not beat to crap, has softer manageable power delivery, and just get out and ride. Practice your skills and put in the...

I drive a 2006 Forester XT with a stick. Basically a WRX in a Forester body. Small enough for the city. Big enough to carry a stove or a canoe on the roof. Hauls my bike or boat trailer, but also a blast to drift on gravel roads. If i had to replace today, the only vehicle out there is the golf...

You're right, I haven't driven one. But you never hear about people praising the Leaf, Prius or Volt for their performance and fun factor. I'll give it a try, but if its only about pressing one pedal to go and another to slow, I'll probably get bored. And I doubt that I would ever be rich...

Two separate but related issues: 1. EVs will only become the dominant fuel when a) you can go as far on a charge as I can on a tank, & b) when you can recharge as quickly and conveniently as you can fill up. That will require significant improvements in battery technology and a more...

Sorry, must have been a mangoe misdirection. I thought you were referencing this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangoes_(TV_series)

A little more obscure. Had to Google it. You win!

I rode with the Assassin once. Never again. His skills are impressive and well above mine, but his judgement, not so much. When I ride fast on the streets, its in more appropriate places and in a way that tries not to attract the wrong kind of attention. If Megamaniac aspires to ride like the...

High insurance cost is the same reason many dealers won't stock demo bikes. Personally I think being able to have more demos would get more people into dealerships and would close more sales.

I think the problem is too many trolls. Gives legitimate riders a bad name.

Unlike places like Europe and India, in North America, motorcycles are generally not primary transportation. Yes there are some of us who commute on them but not anywhere close to being a market trend. Also in North America, motorcycles are not a mass market item like cell phones. So to take...

Glad to see that you are keeping up with Canadian cultural references. ;-)

No problem. Oh, I guess I upped it again.

Waiting for the February manufacturer's show, but happy to help raise the post count by 1 for those interested in this show.

Good to hear. Will be my local shop soon.

How are the new owners at Blackstock? Any staff carry-over? And to stay on topic, I took advantage of a slightly warm garage last night and did the winter storage for my street ride. Ice tires are mounted on my WR and hope to be out on the lake over the Christmas break.

I'm looking at getting the Shad expandable top box for my next case. Does anyone have any experience with one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JryeNgcK870

Best quote from the article: "Risk is one of those things that people just can’t sense until it is too late – that’s why we need science about this" I was looking for the inclusion about the increased risk of werewolves, but I guess the grant wasn't big enough. Seriously, I would think that...

Thomas has a pet bear? Must be difficult to get it to sit still for a trimming. No wonder he is not amused. ;-)

Fine ride in this morning. Saw one other bike going north on Dufferin near the 401. A little cool on the finger tips, even with liner gloves and the grips turned up to 3. They did put some brine down last night, but it was pretty much dried so not an issue. With highs in the minuses for the...

Same results with a Shark Evoline. Chin bar mechanism still worked, but visor disappeared and chin vent plastic shattered. Oh, and I'm still riding.
