    09 Ford F150 is obsolete and unsupported

    Honda is kind of an exception though, I have walked into a dealership and bought parts for a 30 year old bike that wasnt even sold in this country, honda parts support is amazing. That said I find this article hard to believe, this is the best selling truck on the continent, theres at least one...

    Toronto police bike accident in Toronto today. Formation riding at fault?

    Yep, really, who cares? Why would people want to make this explicitly illegal? Just so cops have another reason to pull you over when youre riding with a friend and pass him in the same lane? "Oh you guys were side by side for a second when you passed, thats illegal, you accelerated hard so now...

    Honda CBR ripping the shoulder on the 404 this am

    Its because ontario has the highest payouts for everything, medical, accident, time off, rentals, etc etc etc. When people claim they claim huge, so it drives our rates up. We also have a lot of fraud which probably contributes to the high payouts, because if youre running a scam, might as well...

    Need opinion on used bike.

    At 1400KM it probably never had the first service. Which isnt terrible, its only 400km late. The factory oil will be pretty black by then, but its very likely still completely fine.

    kijiji movers scam

    As much as their name sounds like a scammy company, El Cheapo is pretty good as well. I used them on my last move and it only cost me 100 bucks an hour. They didnt **** around at all, showed up, grabbed everything, drove to the new place, put everything where I wanted it. Took around 2.5 hours...

    Is this a good bike/deal?

    Lets just be clear, I mocked you before I gave you the help.

    Is this a good bike/deal?

    Werent you in the other thread calling some guy a sucker for paying dealer price for his bike? And you dont even know what the ownership is? Have you ever owned a vehicle before? Ownership is the green paper you get at the MTO, plate portion stays with the plate owner, vehicle portion goes with...

    Triumph Thruxton R (2016)

    Suzuki has some reasonable prices on their dirt bikes, I was going to pick one up this year but I didnt have any free time to go riding on it so I'm waiting till next year.

    Triumph Thruxton R (2016)

    I really love these bikes but the price tag is out of this world. For 20k dollars you could pay someone else to build you 4 nice cafe racers.

    CBR300R is on sale at honda.ca

    R3 you will be buying probably from a better dealer. The only honda dealership I know that will sell bikes at anywhere near cost is Oakville. Brampton, markham and Ready know theyre the only options left in the city so they price accordingly. Most people wont bother going all the way to oakville...

    New motorcycle - end-to-end process

    Its going to depend on the dealer but fair warning most of them wont cut you any crazy deals. The margins on a bike are thin. They make most of their money on service and accessories so its unlikely anyone will give you any crazy deals off those either. I know snow city gives you 10 or 15% off...

    Dead bike :(

    Wow, that sucks. Thats pretty irresponsible of honda to suggest riding a bike with a crank known to fail.

    Any older riders get better quotes than Wawanesa for super sports?

    I'm in Toronto proper, M postal code. In the core.

    New motorcycle - end-to-end process

    You pay for installation on accessories if you want someone else to do it. You can collect them and do it yourself otherwise. Freight does not include dropping it at your house, thats delivery and will need to be worked out seperately. You pay for service, even on a new bike. Third party...

    Dead bike :(

    Dude it was a stop sale recall... You should have taken your bike in asap rather than keep riding it, especially on the highway... Youre lucky the engine didnt seize up and buck you off at 120kmh.

    Newmarket M test route

    I think people just build the test up in their head like its hard or something. I honestly thought it would be difficult before I did it, once I actually did it though I realised it would be really hard to fail. The lady ahead of me was riding a scooter and duck footing it all the way up to like...

    Rear end slides (sideways) under hard breaking

    I am not saying dont use your front brake. Also not saying only use your rear brake. What I am saying is that is how I ride and it works just fine for 95% of the times I need to stop the bike. For the other 5% I use the front brake. I actually just got back from riding and I was thinking about...

    FZ6R, Radiator fan vents under throttle control?

    I made a little block off plate which worked, the problem is it then vents over the engine when ends up under the seat which makes the seat uncomfortably warm... Temps on the bike were fine though, up 2-5 degrees f but nothing crazy. I took it off for now because Id rather have a hot arm than a...

    Rear end slides (sideways) under hard breaking

    My point being there are examples of people ****ing up using front brake, just as there are videos of people ****ing up using back brake. As long as both wheels are touching the road who cares how you get it done?
