    Time for a new ride... (ideas welcome!)

    Ehhhhh it's not the most exciting bike. Coming from a Tuono it will put you to sleep

    Time for a new ride... (ideas welcome!)

    I don't dispute that they are good bikes, or that they can tolerate high mileage. I'm pretty sure I've seen much better deals on ST1300s though. I know I've seen some I had to seriously consider myself

    Time for a new ride... (ideas welcome!)

    Speaking as the owner of a 2007 Honda 919 that has a bunch of discontinued parts, I don't know if a 19 year old 80,000km ST1300 is worth $5500

    They are hard to come by but a Fazer8/FZ8 might do you nicely

    Hearing test

    My mother went in a year or two ago - came back with certified good hearing. Frankly the whole family was shocked (and my brother & father both use hearing aids)

    Hearing test

    https://www.ontario.ca/page/hearing-devices Seems like the province will chip in $500 towards hearing aids

    Recycling bin junkie!

    This is completely understandable, I used to have a good stack of them. Then over time all the spares were naturally depleted. Now, how many Ethernet patch cables with slightly broken RJ45 connectors are acceptable to keep on hand as spares?

    EBC brakes

    Consider Brembo SA/SP pads as well. I got mine for a good price from "Genial Motor"

    Question about what I should do about insurance repairs

    The motorcycle community is pretty small in Ontario, who/what is the shop? Somebody here is probably familiar with them

    Where do you guys go for new tires?

    I really want to defend Ted, but I don't want to turn this into another thread about him. Ted never wronged me, but other "better" & more expensive mechanics have. I'll leave it at that

    Where do you guys go for new tires?

    Just out of curiosity, what was the bike and how long ago was this

    Anyone got a chain breaker/riveting tool I can borrow?

    Wherever I can find somebody selling EK chains with matching screw links. I have a rivet tool but it's sooooooo much easier to use the screw links, nearly foolproof

    What are you currently playing?

    RIDE 5 recently got added to PS Plus Extra. I downloaded it to try and out and... ...it feels AWFUL. Is there a way to make it feel not awful? I literally can not keep the bike on the track, nevermind go fast.

    Need a good buck…

    I dunno about good, but I found this. At least it's cheap? Amazon.ca Honestly my first thought is taking the speedo apart and figuring out what it is stepping 12V down to internally.

    Tire pressure gauges

    If I set all 4 tires on a car to "32 psi", the same gauge will still read "32" on all tires a week later (at the same time of day, same temperature, etc). I can't prove "32 psi" = 32 psi though

    Tire pressure gauges

    I put my faith in a cheap digital Accutire gauge I got from Canadian Tire two decades ago. I guess I don't actually know how accurate it is, but it is extremely consistent

    'Hate to bring it up, but..

    I park the bike(s) when there's salt on the ground. I don't want salty bikes, but also that coincides with the possibility of ice on the road

    Honda Files Trademark for CBR400R Four

    I like a lot of Honda's experimental models, but I have a really tough time imagining them making an exciting bike out of this. I would be delighted to be proven wrong. The CB400F and the CB-1 are still cool I feel like that doesn't have to be the case. Even the neutering of the ZX-4R seems...
