Again, its not a habit like I forget I have front brakes or something. I use my front brake when I have to, but when I am cruising along I leave enough room to stop with my back brake only. When I need to stop quickly, I use my front brake. If I didnt use my front brake ever I would have done...

25 years of riding never had a problem yet, probably will keep doing it my way.

For street riding, I like to ride conservatively enough to only use the back brake + engine braking 95% of the time. I treat my front brake like an emergency brake for when I absolutely have to stop way shorter than I originally thought I would, like coming up to a light that changes...

I just recently picked up a used FZ6R, got a chance to ride it yesterday, and I noticed when the fan kicks on it seems to blow the hot air out the "vent" thats right under the throttle. This means pretty much any time I'm stopped in traffic, the bike is blasting my right arm with hot air. It...

I wasnt trying to imply you were scamming, I was just saying that I agree with the guy who says the detail about the ownership status seemed conflicting. Its possible you can say something you believe to be true but isnt actually, again like people who have told me "Yeah this bike is totally...

For the FZ6R all state actually one of the highest quotes, same for car and renters insurance. Like I said, I would love to bring my car over as well, but I'm only paying 700 a year for it. The closest quote I could get to that was 2400 with wawanessa.... So I'm not going to lose 1700 dollars...

Yeah, I can, i just have run into a lot of people that are under the impression you can get a salvage titled bike (or irreparable now I guess?) turned back into a fit bike because you could up until 10 years ago. The law changed, not everyone knows that. You could also be talking about going to...

I guess theyre thinking it shows how lightly used the bike was and how good care was taken of it even when it was sitting? But yeah if I was going to buy that bike, id want them to replace the tires before I took ownership of it.

I love that ****. You see a lot of guys saying "Cant really see these indicators/headlight/tail light during the day but... " The only but there is yours on top of a car hood when you get run over because no one sees you.

You didnt address either of things he mentioned. Does your bike have a valid title or not? Does the ownership say FIT or SAL? If it says SAL you cant register it on the road. If it says FIT then insurance didnt write off the bike.

"brightness" (lumens) has nothing to do with the color temperature. That guy from the reviews has direct experience with both bulbs you want and he says the white bulb is yellow. If you want the whitest bulb of the two, then the crystal one seems like the way to go.

Right from the review on the page:

They do actually offer the written and road tests in chinese depending on the testing center. Along with lots and lots of other foreign languages.

I dunno where you guys are getting these quotes, i ended up picking up an fz6r and even the quotes on that were all between 1100-1800 a year... I called every company, intact, wawanesa, all state, dalton timmis, state farm, TD, riders plus, and the cheapest I could get was through echelon at...

wow did they cut his chains or what? Or did he just have the bike chained to itself and they carried it away, chains and all?

No idea how you got 649 from wawanessa, my stats are the same as you, completely clean record, even running a quote with my car they were telling me 1700. Maybe the R6 is worse for insurance than a CBR? 650 a year seems really really low. I ended up not getting the R6 anyway, for the kind of...

This is 100% it. If your bike is taking too long to sell then it is priced too high. I will email or call someone who has 1 picture, 1 sentence about the bike, but is selling at a good price. Worst case scenario I lose some of my time to find out the bike needs 5k worth of work before it can get...

They sell on ebay now I'm pretty sure. They have (or had the last time I was there) pretty much every part for every bike ever made, so it only makes sense for them to start selling stuff online, there just arent enough people in toronto to ever need all those parts. I bought a set of carbs...

Toronto is way worse than anywhere else. Even the notoriously bad LA traffic is better than the **** traffic we have. I still remember when my friend moved to california and was amazed that their "rush hour" didnt involve parking the car on the highway. He had never driven in a city outside...

Fuel injection is so much nicer than carbs honestly. Less maintenance, really reliable systems by the time they got them into bikes. I cant see buying another carbed bike after I've had a couple fuel injection bikes, I just dont have the time to do maintenance that carbed bikes expect anymore. I...
