    Riding a Motorcycle Hard

    Off the top of my head and in no particular order: -Often pulling away from cold starts and revving the **** out of it. -Often shifting to red line and beyond, or hitting the rev limiter repeatedly -Overloading the bike -Putting it away wet (i.e. lack of maintenance), this is the other half of...

    Where to buy good quality Torque Wrench?

    Sears has Torque wrenches as well. JMO but if you're only getting it to do oil changes, I'd pass, with a crush washer in place a torque wrench is un-necessary.

    First 30 Days Most Dangerous

    Years ago the person attracted to motorcycling was of a different mindset IMO, and if they were of a mind to take training, I suspect it helped reduce the risk in the critical early stages of riding compared to those that just got on a bike and rode. Today, "the business" of training puts many...

    Removing a tank protector

    Apply some heat using a heat gun or hair dryer, it's easier if you wait until you are low on fuel, a full tank will prevent sufficient heat to build and will make removal a real pain. Once removed, use goo gone to clean up the remaining gluey mess.

    US Motorcycle Laws by State

    Um... when did California enact helmet laws? last time I was there people were riding around with no helmets. Some amusing takes on laws: Pennsylvania - no helmet required on road, but helmet required off-road Delaware - you don't have to wear your helmet but you must have it with you Alabama...

    Cam I claim bike gear on my company taxes

    I worked under my own corporation and I recently dissolved my corporation, my personal experience is that what you can deduct is fairly limited, especially in a situation where you have a corporation for the sole purpose of offering your services to a single company. In some cases the CRA will...

    Good parking lots to practice at in the 401/Avenue Rd area?

    I was going to say Yorkdale, but you probably can't ride at night, and that's the only time that lot would be empty enough. Edit: oh wait I missed where you said you are a returning rider. So maybe Yorkdale is a possibility? BTW I would not wear a Burke while riding, it may get caught in the...
