    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Motorcyclists regularly use bicycle lanes during heavy traffic and are justly loathed for it. They're not brand-specific though. 911 calls are probably uncommon, given how many drivers are busy texting. Bureaucrats and police are ineffective enough, no need to weigh them down with more...

    Norton 650 Atlas

    And got shredded by hungry raccoons when they hit the ground. CAD basically destroyed all elegance and proportion in consumer products. Now if it's not plastic, it's made to look like plastic. Bleh.

    Manufacturer's HP arms race

    If they end the HP arms race, then the engineers will be forced to design comfortable seats or lose their jobs. 300 hp before 2030, you heard it here first!

    Yamaha did it - NIKEN

    Whatever the target market, servicing two pairs of forks will be a nuisance.

    Usless / unnecessary bike tech

    Heh, the ZX-6E had it too. Nice thought, but basically useless. I think you could unlock it by jamming a Bic pen cap into it. Also, here's the first line of Suzuki's ad copy describing the Burgman 650: "The Burgman 650 ABS* Executive provides you an outstanding riding experience through an...

    Buddy wants to start his own MC club. What could go wrong?

    People don't live *life* these days, they live *lifestyles* guided by the mass media. In this context, an outlaw biker or boy racer are equally valid choices. Bumping up against organized crime is a bit more stressful than being laughed at for posting slow track times, however.

    Yamaha did it - NIKEN

    More choice is always good. Granted, it's odd-looking but the same can be said for a LOT of vehicles these days. Nobody studies Greek or Latin anymore, so don't expect classics.

    Buddy wants to start his own MC club. What could go wrong?

    Aren't chapters/patches another way of defining territory? Setting up a chapter of an unrelated Montreal club in Nova Scotia would be seen as a provocation, no? The wattage of that particular bulb sounds pretty low.

    Canadian laws on driving under the influence of cannabis

    File this under: That Didn't Take Long! https://globalnews.ca/news/4639742/ocs-canada-post-hacked/ I imagine there will be some awkward conversations at the border before long.

    W800 coming to Canada

    Brown and dark grey don't seem very Britishy to me, even if it's a Japanese bike. Like I know they expect boring middle-class people to buy them, but would a bit of colour really frighten them off? Still, it's a kooky air-cooled p-twin and it's on display. Also: real clocks instead of godless...

    Honda Neo Sports Café Concept Heads to Production As CB650R

    Digging the w800. I dub the CB650R a Coffee Racer.

    Would this work here?

    A $30k scooter? That doesn't seem...efficient. Maybe we need more public catastrophes to appreciate them better. Motorcycle luggage is an eyesore either way.

    Marriage and Insurance Rates

    They go down because your wife won't let you ride! *Ba-dum-tish!*

    Canadian laws on driving under the influence of cannabis

    "Sir, our scales indicate your package contains 32 grams. You are under arrest for trafficking." Legalization doesn't mean freedom. It means another layer of government bureaucracy that wants your money.

    Who bought weed?

    Those OCS servers must be worth a small fortune to the right buyer. What comes first: a security breach or Dougy ratting us out?

    Ugliest motorcycle of all time ?

    Didn't they call it "the guppy"? or maybe that was the later Katanas. The Brits nicknamed them "the teapot" for some reason.

    My thoughts on Fortnine store

    Not sure how it will affect motorcycle parts, but SIMA is also pretty arbitrary and I've been dinged by it several times at work this year.

    Canadian mechanic wins yamaha world tech gp in japan

    It's a problem on any advice forum. Actual lawyers get attacked for offering correct advice *in their specialty* by people who own Law & Order on VHS.

    Weed and Motocycles

    My rationale wasn't "impairment isn't a problem, lol". It was the badvertising (you read it here first!) surrounding legalized cannabis is absurd. I could step on the anecdotal merry-go-round about seniors sparking up, but I must decline. Not because I want to get high and moan "Je t'aime...

    Weed and Motocycles

    Then you are a CHRONIC marijuana user! According to an expert panel on TVO, anyway. The gymnastic attempts by the government + media to paint the stuff as both a legal product and the devil's weed is tremendously amusing. At this stage there are senior citizens that have been smoking for most of...
