Mikey Moto in Brampton

:lmao:and I do agree about the biking. Riding to work for three years (22 hilly km's per day) made fantastic improvements to my hill climbing ability for mtn biking and just general ability to ride at a fast pace in high gears on the mtb. Now I live close to 40 km's away and don't have the time...

+1 to all the advice given so far. If speed is something you tend to avoid as you stated then definitely take your time and stay out of too much traffic until you work your way up to handling appropriate speeds. To be apprehensive about your speed while in traffic will inhibit your other skills...

I use the Chain saver after they quit making the older formulation. I would say that wax based may not be the deciding factor on whether it's good for o-ring chains, they may have changed the formulation somewhat, the wax just makes it "dry".

I started riding when my son was 2.5 yrs old. I think about him all the time and he is my #1 responsibility. I think riding has its risks and I don't need to add to that risk by riding stupidly in traffic, not being ATGATT and not making every attempt to make myself visible whether by passive...

Definitely, happened to me a few times, a real pain in the butt too when you think you're done.

not so good on the 250's and gs500's....I have found they can move a little when tightening the lock nut and then you need to re-measure...still it's a good way to ensure proper alignment especially for the new people with no clue about alignments and like the article states also a way to check...

Unfortunately this is par for the course on the 410 top to bottom...you could have an empty highway behind you and yet they will merge in front of you...you get used to it..

show up after 6:00 PM

Thought I would post this as it's a good explanation (with pics) of the string method of alignment. For those that ride Ninja 250's and are considering doing their own chain slack adjustment, this should take some or all the mystery out of realigning your wheels...

I suggest a one man tent or even better a hammock tent or bivy sack and a rain fly. Most importantly make sure the floor seams of any ground tent is taped and the floor has at least a 5000 mm water column pressure rating 10000 mm is best. A wet tent makes for a miserable experience. As well...

++1 unfortunately there are always low life people that see no issue in taking advantage of people who are the victims or those trying to help. It goes a long way to killing community...

Definitely, in a well developed urban area I think a hydraulic clutch will be fine as long as the rider keeps an eye on things. In third world areas I think a cable clutch might be a better bet as this type is likely the predominant type for small cc motorcycles like those that are common in...

I would say cable clutches are easy to fix on the road, many stories of those that run an extra cable along the current one so that a broken cable is a quick change operation. Hydraulics are more complex so more difficult to service if the line is cut or you need a bleed. Parts availability...

Would love to attend one of these unfortunately my days of so much freedom are essentially ending for a while. Will only have Monday and Wednesday nights clear. I'll keep my eyes open if any of these days come up, enjoy the meat there's going to be a ton of it..:p

I get similar mileage on my 250 as well. As others have said it's great mileage enjoy it, an SS gets half that for 18 L

They are used to peering down dark holes....:D

Will try and make it, caging it unfortunately...:sad1:
