I was thinking of renting a bike in Jamaica; I've been there a couple of times. I was warned not to do it, and once I saw how they rode down there I realized it would have been a hair-raising, death-defying experience! My avatar shows me on the Yammie TW200 I rented in Aruba. That was...

The whole idea of strangers renting their bikes to other strangers sounds like a disaster just waiting to happen!

All you need is a piece of clear tubing that fits over your bleed nipple & a cup. The pressure of the brake lever or pedal is sufficient to pump fluid. On a bike you can reach the caliper and lever at the same time for a one-man job, unlike a car where the pedal is inside. I have the exact kit...

I read the occasional M/C book & go to the shows, but I mostly shut off the motorcycle gene for the winter and hit the slopes for my dose of speed.

'Overlord' Great movie. Starts off as a WW2 mission with an opening scene almost as harrowing as 'Saving Private Ryan' then changes to a Nazi/Zombie/Horror flick (Think 'From Dusk to Dawn' but less Quentin-Tarantino-over-the-top). A complete story from start to finish (so no sequel...

Used to ride into winter. One dump on black ice was all it took to convince me that it's not the wisest way of getting around. One second I'm riding along; next thing you know, bike just flies out from under me and I'm chasing after it as it slid down the street. No thanks.

Another boutique brand that will sell for nostalgia; it doesn't do anything better than any other bike.

Wow, I loved that as a kid! Also Hercules. Cheesy animation but true Canadian culture.

That's the only acceptable excuse! Especially if its animated.

You just saw this? I hope the rock you've been buried under gave you superpowers!

Most dangerous? Look up liability, and then tell me that 'danger' is a feature that any kart track wants to promote! I tried the indoor electric karts at Downsview a few years ago; surprisingly fast.

I'm a member of a 'riding club'. We meet for breakfast and rides on Sundays. There's a club patch, but I don't wear patches; don't want holes in my nice Dainese jacket! No one cares. We eat and we ride.

Like I said in the earlier Niken thread, the type of person with mobility issues that require 3 wheels will not be able to throw a leg over this thing or keep it steady at a stop.

I just found my wedding portrait while cleaning out the cottage basement. Man, we looked good! Now been divorced for almost 20 years but we remain good friends (we figured, once you have kids, we have to deal with each other for the rest of our lives, so better to get along! Plus her current...

Any mobility issues that prevent you from riding a regular bike will probably prevent you from being able to throw your leg over this thing.

I guess you have no idea what defibrillators and professional medical/rescue equipment costs.

We recently checked out a few used appliance stores for fridges for our rental properties; Barcelona Used Appliances comes to mind (a couple locations). Even when cleaned up, appliances are never as nice as new so we decided to buy new. Not worth it to take on someones old stuff to save a...

For example: during a terrorist bombing situation (which is sadly a reality in Israel), when the streets are in chaos, these Ambucycles get through crowds and congestion to the victims faster than anything else. I'm part of a group that raises some funds toward purchasing the scooters. They...

It would be cool if they did a CB650R single based on the CB300R, which I think is a neat little bike. Suzuki's TU250 would also be a good candidate for the 650 treatment; albeit retro-style. Thumpers are great engines, but other than KTM, no one really builds modern street singles.

Curious....why are you selling the CRF? My buddy went from a highly-tuned R1 to the CRF 250 and he's happy.
