Replacing the harness sounds a little drastic. Surely it could have been repaired and repositioned by a competent tech.

Except your way of doing it targets everyone, even if they're on the 401 amongst transports and horns and ****. IOW, not actually being a nuisance at all. Focused attention on those actually being ***** is the way to approach this using existing laws. We don't need more laws.

There are a number of guys that ride on my street. The Harley is the "worst" when he leaves at 11pm. It lasts for 2 seconds. Sorry, I just don't see it necessary to call 9-1-1 for this. Those that bring up John Tory's number on their speed-dial to demand legislation when a putt-putt goes by...

Thanks! I've been looking for that :)

With insurance killing off the SS niche, Harley riders being taken out by left-turners and lane-drifter-outers and everyone else basically riding egg-beaters now, surely this problem will take care of itself and the Super Snowflakes with dog-level hearing can rest easy.

So how many of you anti-manual folks are shopping for an automatic bike?

I'd rather sacrifice a few tenths in a hypothetical 0-60 race for the pure enjoyment of rowing my own gears and working that 3rd pedal in just about every other driving situation (save, perhaps, a hellish commute in stop-n-go traffic.)

My 2017 Tuono has pretty much been a rock in terms of reliability. It had a recall for a Brembo master cylinder issue -- not really Aprilia's fault. Owners of 2015 Yamaha R1s can't say that about their transmissions, can they? My 2014 Honda CBR500R left me stranded after its main power relay...

RIP rider. Condolences to family and friends. Very sad he was alone. :(

Check the lever down on the clutch cover. Make sure it passes through 90-degrees when the lever is pulled so you get the maximum release action inside the clutch. This is where adjustments at the handlever and the lever down on the trans are critical. Do you have anything that could limit...

You might consider a Yamaha Fazer 800. Inline 4 with good power, decent torque and sound. Friendly ergos and enough fairing and windscreen for comfortable highway riding. Reliable as basalt (I had an '11 before my Tuono and all it needed was fork seals after 40000kms.) Looking at Autotrader .ca...

Blech. I'm beginning to think it might be time to move on from GTAM. It's starting to sound like perhaps I don't have as much in common with a lot of my fellow motorcyclists as I thought. Maybe it's generational. Long live the internal combustion engine and the sweet mechanical symphony it makes.

RIP rider. Lesson to all: Slow down, ride defensively.

When you got your M2, what did you wear? What's your baseline?

Would like to see a graph that illustrates percentage of motorcycle riders by age over that same period.

Four drivers, ages 19 and 20, were taken off the roads in West Perth over the weekend, all charged with stunting etc. 4 drivers taken off the road for speeding in West Perth On my way home at lunch a semi-tractor, driven by an Indian-looking guy, almost T-boned me in an intersection, after...

The evenness of the wear across the tire is impressive. Where are you riding that you can get wear somewhere other than a flat-spot down the middle?

A 2007 Consumer Reports report based on IIHS and HLDI reads, in part: "What motorcycles show the greatest risks? Supersport bike riders have death rates that are four times greater than average for all motorcycle types, says the IIHS. These so-called rockets are essentially racing bikes...

There are no freedom absolutes, even in the free-est societies in the world. When any group of humans decides to congregate societal rules begin to emerge. As a motorcyclist surely you understand the need for codified societal rules regarding safe and responsible operation of motor vehicles and...

Hey, welcome. Ride safe!
