my cell phone does much of what was described above. I have an Apple iPhone 7plus and a 2016 Civic EX with carplay. A new thing recently with the phone is it is disabled when car / bike is moving. Anyone calling or texting will get an auto reply saying i am driving and will get back to them...

B.C.'s provincial government has announced it will be targeting distracted drivers with higher insurance premiums. The change will mean distracted driving will be considered a high-risk behaviour under the ICBC Driver Risk Premium program. Driver Risk Premium charges are fees above and...

Just checked the Yamaha Canada website. The 2018 line up is now listed. They have dropped the FZ line of bikes. no not really. but they are now same as EU and called the MT(07-09-10) price has gone up and there now only one of each bike. No non-ABS option. looks like they have revised the...

like brand new except for all the stupid mods. i guess he means the price is like brand new as it same price as a new 2018 https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/mcy/d/2016-xsr900-modified-like/6335889333.html

speaking of your HTA172 and 50 over. Here we have a similar but it is 40 over. (big time insurance penalty. Fines. Impound 7days. License suspension 1week) Last weekend cruising around on the bike. On a limited access hwy that has a speed limit of 80kph. As usual i was going around 20 over...

recently in Vancouver "A distracted driver in Vancouver accumulated not one, but two $368 tickets for using an electronic device while driving on Wednesday. And it all went down within an eight minute span, just six blocks apart."...

where did they pull the 36 deaths from for last year? According to this http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/publications/pdfs/preliminary-2016-orsar-selected-statistics.pdf there were 56 motorcycle deaths in 2016. 483 people died in all motor vehicle accidents. (56 of that were motorcycles) 226...

not GTA but. Duffy Lake Loop https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1wDaeOEWmVYKdfeEsiQt2Qxo4F3g&hl=en_US&ll=50.02398298777622%2C-122.28009000000003&z=8 a nice scenic 9hr ride of almost 600km

a normal day ride to me is 300-600km. i am 6ft 190lb and the Fz07 is fine for that. I had a 2013 Ninja 650 and found that to be more torture on such a ride. The seat was ok but the upright ergo and extreme knee bend killed my knees. i only ride weekends in good weather. Got the fz07 on April 15...

1972 Triumph frankenbike only $9000. What would you even do with this thing? Cant be that comfortable to ride. Plus the straight pipe and zero muffler would shatter your ear drums in 4 minutes. And a car tire on rear? yes it is real head turner, more like a turn-point and laugh...

if that was Ontario the OPP would give the rider a ticket for riding on the shoulder. And (what is the HTA section for impounding bike?) impound bike for 7 days.

my bike manual says to use 86 or higher. but my compression ratio is 11.5:1 so according to the above my manual is wrong and i am damaging my engine. Usually use Shell or Petrocan. Used to always use Shell silver (89) due to only "up to" 5% ethanol. but lately been putting in regular 87

unless you are in a downtown area and traffic averages 30kph a 50cc be ok. But anything else i second the 150cc with a caveat that a Yamaha BWs125 works well in town and will hit 90kph. I have one to supplement my Fz07. perfect for city riding.

the seller needs a dose of reality check. dealer here. brand new 2015 R3 for just over 4k. http://www.daytonamotorsports.ca/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=1909719&p=2&make=yamaha&s=Year&d=D&t=new&vt=motorcycle%20%2F%20scooter&year=2015&fr=xNewInventory

i too have a GT-Air and find it to be a quiet helmet. With the caveat that it depends on the bike. On my last (Honda NC750X) the wind noise was terrible at hwy speeds even with ear plugs. Anything above 60kph i needed ear plugs. Now with the Fz07 and a sport Puig screen the helmet is super quiet...

never seems to end for me. Tho this time i think i will keep it for awhile (but i said that last bike too :) ) there was a few twinges of, hmmm maybe i should have got the Fz09. But then i think that the fz09 being over 750cc is in next insurance tier so lots more money. Plus the Fz07 is pretty...

dealer here has new old stock 2016 FZ07 for 6750 How can a 2015 only have 2500km on it? They only ride 500m to the corner Timmies? Got my 2017 on April 15, only ride sunny weekends. Have a bit over 2200km on mine so far.

This line "Apply your emergency flashers and pull out your licence, insurance and registration" Really? The paper wants you to get shot? You just get pulled over and cop sees you making all these movements in the car. umm no. dont farging move your hands off the wheel until you are asked for...

probably the sales reps prequalify us as tire kickers and not worth the time. They obviously are making huge wads of money off of "real" customers so they do not need to spend their valuable time on the unwashed masses. But as Joe Bass said. Love it when it turns into a "pretty woman" moment...

they have a point tho. Knowing the route is pointless and could be distracting. You may be expecting them to say "turn right" but the route you memorized says left. Listen to the testers, just pretend you are on a group ride and relax. One tip is to put a stripe of tape down the back of your...
