I like my hyper blinking lights.

Alloy does expand more then steel, but then steel will heat and cool slower. Also remember that you are expanding in every direction not just out. Personally I have never had an issue with plugs in a hot engine other then burning my fingers. Even with old iron heads.

Bikes can get frozen, just like most other vehicles, without any harm. There are more then a few of us that actually ride almost all year round (not counting the crazy ice racers or ADV riders). As for bike types what is post above is good guide. Cruiser you lean a bit back, sportbike you lean...

The sound of the two smokes is slowly fading away :(

You can load it by yourself. I always have. Larger pickups are a pain in the ass however. Your insurance does not cover you on the track. You bin it you are fixing it on your own dime. It is very very addicting.

Of course. The pure purpose built race bikes live in the gp world. The sports bikes are trickle down tech. My track bike is getting old but if you look at it compared to a street bike made race bike you see just how bloated street bikes are even after conversion. I would love to see more HRC...

You really thought it wouldn't?

Different expansion rates for different metals is all. That and everything is tighter when hot :)

I work in Brampton and the commute is a challenge for this very reason. Close second to pacific mall. On job sites I see deep dislike for Brampton truck drivers, most often not because of what colour their skin is, but because of their piss poor driving ability, even when they show up sober. I...

My experience was they were fine in town but I hated them at highway speed. I always felt like my body was a huge sail.

And this is why I ride solo on the street the vast majority of the time or with a few select friends.

Mine are butcher block and polished concrete. Personally I like the look more then granite. If you do go granite, as others have said, it is cheaper to have a pro do it.

Read up on how to do a proper plug chop. From you pic I would say it is running fine however.

It is. Still like my wee. I'm 5'11, 185#. Tour 2 up with bags without issues. I put around 30k km a year on it with only regular maintenance and replacement of wear parts. A plus is I'm not terribly worried about someone stealing it.

As others have said, find the shop manual for the bike. Either buy a copy or use your google skills. Took me about 30 seconds to find a pdf of the service manual for your bike online. If you at all mechanically inclined have a bit of space to work and some good basic hand tools you can follow...

They started charging overages now. They also now have 3 cap levels: 150gb, 300gb and unlimited. The 300gb tier you can op in to have you speed throttled during peak for unlimited usage.

I average around 30k a season.

www.nrcracing.com They work.

I was tested once at Shannonville but that was back in 2003. Never been tested again. IIRC the level on the books there is 106 dBa. Never been tested at Mosport.
