Since the late February Spring like days we had, I got my bike ready and rode into work a few days late Feb, when the digits hit above 5c, then old man winter came back with vengence. I stopped riding into work when the weather hit negative again in the mornings. :( My commute is from Rouge...

Seems like every bike I really love goes out of production from- BMW R1200c, Triumph Thunderbird, VTX Stateline, HD Cross Bones, and now the V-Rod. All these bikes have one thing in common- the courage to break away from the pack or norms from what the company is built on. Each of the these...

Been working for me...hopefully so will ride it... ;)

I'm thinking of using Rotella T4 15w30 in my bike for an oil change this week-end as I'm feeling my gears to be dropping very hard (VTX 1300c). My daily commute Scarborough to Downtown in heavy traffic in addition to the hot weather we're having is probably taking a toll on the thinner oil...

I was just looking into the JASO MA rating and found a thread on Quora website stating to use Shell T5, but I think they meant T4 as it's 15W30 and has a JASO MA rating, the Shell T5 according to it's website PDF specs has a JASO rating but NOT -MA. So going back to Quora site which suggestions...

I assume you meant the new bottle, if so great than. Saved me from firing up a memo to them ;)

On the trucking forum forum they are talking over 10 k Km some even more in miles. Here below is the link: http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/oil-change-interval-with-5w40-rotella-synthetic.22946/

Wow nice for standard Rotella not the T6 right which is synthetic. If your racing/red lining than for sure I would change it at 5k. I'm on a cruiser mostly cruising back and for from work to home, traffic etc.

Ya perhaps I should look out for the pail when it goes on sale around that price. 5K oil changes are standard for regular oil, for synthetics it's usually over 10k even for cars. Some synthetics are good for over 20k easy. If you doing 5k than even standard oil should be fine.

Once a year only, as it's synthetic even though I do over 10,000 km a year.

Just to put my experience hear. Every fall when the day light saving time kicks in and commuters get off work at around 5 pm to a dark street there is always a spike in fender benders and even catastrophic accidents. I work downtown and live in Scarborough area. So I was looking into being...

2 years back TSC had a sale for 50% so $19.99, I had crappy tire match the price and on top of that Shell had a mail in rebate for $7 per jug, so I picked up 4 for $13.00 each. T6 goes on sale at that current price at crappy tire quit frequently, I'm waiting on the 40-50 % price sale at either...

Last year I had 2 bikes in my garage and I would ride them alternately to work, one was the VTX 1300 with cobra exhaust and one was the BMW R1200 with a super quite exhaust. Riding the same route with each bike from the burbs to downtown I did notice quite alot of people would cut into my...

I guess I will just let go of the oil, glad I got it on sale few years back. Also just to clarify for the confusion, I poured dirty used gear oil into the new T6 jug. I only realized my error a few minutes later when I saw the old jug filled with dirty oil on the floor. Thanks for the...

On Monday I was changing my bike oil with Rotella T6 Synthetic Diesel oil (been using Rotella for last 3-4 years awesome priced oil compared to synthetic bike oil which is highway robbery for the price, especially if you get it on sale at Crappy Tire). Had just poured the old oil into an empty...

Shane I just saw your post and I looked up your response to my Q this summer looking for a BMW Boxer mechanic as the last name sounded familiar, and it turns out that it was Keith Premdas who I had phoned and spoke to. I spoke to him this summer regarding my BMW R1200C (which I later sold)...

My Shure 315 SE headphones have 2 purposes: 1) Save my hearing from my load pipes 2) Rocking music. On local roads I mostly keep the music off. If I do have the music on on local roads I keep it very low, too hear sirens and horns. On the highway is where I rock the music as you don't...

+ Shure... I've been using the Shure SE 315 for the last few years, the sound is full and rich, and the best thing about them is the cables detach from the plugs, so when your wires go bad (and they will every few years) all you do is replace the wires. The cables that come with it don't have...
