    New motorcycle - end-to-end process

    fair point on the accessories - thanks bob Would you guys say it is best to strike a balance while negotiating between service and accessories or go one way or the other? Have heard sometimes the bike gets a good price but service is abysmal and vice versa.

    New motorcycle - end-to-end process

    Got a few questions about the buying process: 1. For new bike the dealership asks for MSRP / PDI / Freight / Documentation / Enviro Fees / GST (you might be able to negotiate some of these) + some manufacturer discounts on accessories 2. Who pays for the installation of the manufacturer...

The pads i used are serrated front and some mushy stuff on the back as i don't...

    Help me choose my next motorcycle - 899 Panigale vs CBR 1000RR vs 675R

    If you want us to choose I would go this way: 1. D675 2. Duck 3. 1000rr If you want us to choose on your behalf where road common sense escapes you: 1. Duck (impractical for road use but looks cool) 2. 1000rr because 1l makes your pecker bigger than everyone else ( you may not track it) 3...

    Is it really necessary to replace your helmet every 3-5 years?

    Same .. mine is approaching 5 years (for the mfg. date) .. still good and I love it. I do think that anything more then 10 or so years is iffy. The reason for that is the shelf life by the time you bought it as well as the amount of riding you've done . Also sweat degrades the liner so even if...

    Noob questions (they go better in pack)

    lots of info here but for each questions you have multiple ways of doing things (safely) - stay knees in (hugging the tank) with enough mobility to freely hit the back brake and the shift lever. Tighten your abs (or lack there of - do some crunches) Shifting Up - as long as you have above say...

    WTF near Dundas and Dixie

    it would be hit and run - I cut the video because she was in slow traffic since le chateau area (usually the costco traffic everyone has come to love) the light is not shattered - is more of a quarter size hole in the plastic cover. I think it was of him evading something and then bumping the...

    WTF near Dundas and Dixie

    I saw youtube has a blur effect so i added it for giggles (hear the thunk/thud)... guy kept it up right (kudos really) All is well, overall i guess lesson learned is - if the bike hits at least say sorry with the hope the driver understands if not, deal with the consequence. Keep rubber side...

    What's a fair asking price for my bike ?

    Have seen 1 R3 in blue in the GTA Mind you 4.3-4.5k is fair anything more might as well take the hit for 1k and buy it new. Anything less is just low balling and trolling. Before September you have a good chance of getting rid of it as the M2 ppl are starting to ride/get licensed. Make sure it...
