    but if all cars have this "shoulder tap" alert, what oh what will the loud pipes save lives crowd do? lol, maybe make the alert sound like a Harley with open pipes?

    In case you were wondering about those big scoots.....

    scoots are fun and great around town. Would not want a 50cc tho unless you are in a downtown area where speeds are 50kph A 125 is minimum for anywhere else. Love having both. The BWS i ride all year and for close to home. The NC is my hwy distance ride. The scooter is also my rain bike. Wont...

    2015 Yamaha FZ-07 announced

    if you want a good laugh and a great review of this bike. Go to You Tube and search for "Cager on Two Wheels" Look for his review on the MT07 (FZ07) Great review part 1 just talks about the bike while riding around. Part 2 cracks me up and really shows how great this bike is.

    Motorcycle Toy Run

    Just wondering if Toronto has anything like this? Today was the 36th annual Vancouver Motorcycle toy run. (always the first Sunday in October) Literally over 10,000 bikes ride parade style from the Coquitlam Town Centre mall to the PNE (i am guessing similar to riding from Square 1 to CNE) a...

    New bike breakin - a curiousity

    for what bike? the manual for my bike says nothing about that. "Break in period. During the first 500km of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your motorcycle's future reliability and performance. avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration avoid hard braking and rapid downshifts...

    New bike breakin - a curiousity

    funny you mention "max cold pressure" i questioned a couple of Honda dealers about the NC when i first got it. The Honda recommended pressure (both in manual and on swingarm) is the max cold pressure of the tires (42 rear / 36 front) - Metzeler Z8 rear max is 42. I brought up the fact that the...

    New bike breakin - a curiousity

    Not meaning to start a whole break in war, may be inevitable but.. Just something i wonder about. Most know the several ways people say to break in a bike. Some baby it. keep in below 5k for the first 1000km. drive it like you stole it etc Even some manuals offer vague ways to break in...

    Anyone have a Yamaha FZ-07?

    still trying to decide if i want to trade. Nice to see the bike gets decent gas mileage. That is one thing i would miss as my NC gets fantastic mileage. I filled up in Sqamish .. rode to downtown Vancouver (~110km) then next day from downtown to Hope (~140km) and fill up. I put in 7L. Another...

    Anyone have a Yamaha FZ-07?

    so how is everyone liking this bike? I have an opportunity to replace my NC750S with one of these. As much as i love the NC there are times when i miss the top end rush. These days in my advanced age of (57) i find i do not go on super long trips anymore. I tend to keep the speed to (rarely)...

    Are armoured shirts the way to go?

    kind of difficult to not have more than one jacket in Canada. I have a Belstaff textile a Joe Rocket mesh and Alpine Star perforated leather. one thing tho, if you are getting mesh / perforated leather ... try to get light colours. Dont get black, kind of defeats the purpose. I made sure my...

    Rider down - 50+ rider and worn tires related.

    lol- yes i was not there. speculation on my imagined chain of events. But given that i saw a close up picture of the rear tire, i know the area well and am by there quite often. Given that i have personal knowledge of that ramp and street below and where the body is lying on the street (from the...

    Rider down - 50+ rider and worn tires related.

Riding what appears to be a 1K Ninja. Close up shots of bike shows the rear tire worn down to almost the...

    Anyone have a Yamaha FZ-07?

    the bike has plenty of quarks, leptons too. great looking bike and looks to be fast. Cager on two wheels did a youtube review on it and he liked it. I would for sure put on a windscreen. Only odd thing i find about the bike is the placement of the ignition key switch. Seems weird being out in...

    Anyone tried the Honda CBR500R yet?

    and not just because i have one. but the NC750 (x and s models) are perfect for what you want to do. Tons of torque... does not have the top end rush of other bikes but coming from the 125 it will seem super fast. I did a somewhat long day trip last week of around 750km and it was comfy and was...

    Just bough a used bike. Can I get temp plates in order to drive it to get safetied?

    that was a question? It is a lot easier in BC. Sux that you Ontarians have to safety a motorcycle. Here both Seller and buyer should go together to an ICBC agent. All transfers / taxes / plates / stickers done in one place.
