    Muffler hole repair

    Need to fix this: The inner baffle is gone in that area as well. Does it need to be completely replaced? I like the look of the stock muffler (yeah I'm a weirdo) and an aftermarket one is $400-500. Putty and tiger tape?

    What's with you people on Lake Ontario?

    You should know that anybody that lives on Lake Ontario would never dive into it unless they wanted to die from several types of disease.

    Foot out when cornering at low speed

    I have during extremely low speed u-turns in the middle of farm country with nobody around. However at anything above bicycle speeds your foot hitting the ground isn't going to do much, maybe even help send you over. You also risk it getting stuck under the peg, ouch.

    Latest year to get comprehensive coverage?

    My policy renews in March which is why I used that date. I don't want to transfer bikes and pay more for what could very well end up being only another month of riding. I think you'll talking about setting up a new policy now? Why is it so hard to just insure an item against fire/flood? Isn't...

    Latest year to get comprehensive coverage?

    15 sounds right, thanks guys. I bought a 2006 so no issues there. Now my issue is actually finding insurance for it, mainly against fire. It's stored inside my apartment at the moment. My current broker Dalton Timmis is saying tenant insurance won't cover it and they don't offer any sort of...

    RE: Dirtbike Trail Riding - Georgetown and Simcoe area

    Re: Dirtbike Trail Riding - Georgetown and Simcoe area There are a couple YouTube videos of Georgetown area dirtbiking, but by the comments they're done illegally. You could try some of the Halton bicycle trails, they usually empty out once the leaves fall off. There really should be SOMETHING...

    Buy (used) in fall or spring?

    $1600 to $800 with nothing back? Now I know I'm not going to get the $800 difference since I was insured on the 500 for 4 months, but something would be nice. I know I'll have to pay more on the DR since I'd go with comprehensive, so I'll wait.

    Buy (used) in fall or spring?

    I still have my Fly 150 on the road, that while embarrassingly Fisher-Price has been 100% reliable. Also there's the issue of getting a motorcycle into the dining room of a basement apartment being rather difficult. Getting it out with gravity fighting against me is something I only want to do...

    Buy (used) in fall or spring?

    So I bought this thing, a 2006 Suzuki DR200 for $1500. Everything seems to check out except for a hole in the muffler. It was originally a trainer bike at Fleming College for 7 years and then a farm runner till now. I've always been interested in dual sports and couldn't pass up a 2006 with...

    Daily observations

    Anyone know what Youtube yahoo this is? GoPro on helmet, head bobbing everywhere (talking to himself), hands and feet constantly off bike, weaving in and out at ~140. I was westbound on the 401 near Port Hope, just want to know what video I'm in.

    Buy (used) in fall or spring?

    Looking to go with something else for next year, hopefully just one bike this time. Since this is my first go around, what are fall prices like in comparison to spring? I don't plan to sell/stop riding my scooter till the insurance renews in March. However I've noticed that cheap old bikes and...

    Out of gas on Dvp and bloor northbound Need help

    2 flatbed tows for my old Shadow, one from outside Newmarket to Mississauga, the other from Rockwood. The reason it's gone. 2 calls for my truck, a battery boost and the other because I locked my keys in... For $114 that's pretty good, I may even upgrade to Premier. Confucius say aim for...

    Out of gas on Dvp and bloor northbound Need help

    The Vino is a scooter, automatic choke and AFAIK it switches to reserve automatically. Get CAA, the one with motorcycle coverage. For me this year it has probably paid for itself 5x over by now.

    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    I'm too young to remember anything political pre-Dalton. But even if Wynne isn't the cause, she's also not the solution. I didn't have a lot of time to look up links I get up at 4am for work, but I have read that the number of part-time and temp jobs has increased substantially this century. I...

    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    http://www.thespec.com/news-story/5611218-ontario-employers-cashing-in-on-temporary-workers/ Maybe I can dig out my old pay stubs if you want more proof. This is what the labour market is now. You go in as a temp, but stay that way for years. Working 40-60 hour weeks for almost minimum wage...
