Good theft insurance + bike cover for longer stays. This discourages turkeys from sitting on the bike or trying to move it. This is probably the most common problem. Chains, disc locks, etc. are only useful if you stick to using them consistently. More desirable bikes will always be targets and...

If the OP's account is accurate, the rider's bike had inoperable headlights, was using damaged gear, was unable to hear properly due to loud music, intended to ignore traffic signals, then uttered a death threat. He wasn't doing much to insure he returned to those loved ones safely. Any amount...

High Beams Save Lives? Try flashing them momentarily for a laugh. Haven't encountered a driver/rider that didn't become instantly angry when *they* couldn't see properly. Turkeys.

I cleaned my glasses with Windex but that still doesn't make sense. I know Etobian dialect, so that's not the issue. *shrugs* GTAM isn't a daily source of vitamins, so I shan't get wobbly over it. Personally, I'm thinking 100/50. I'll ride no faster than 100 kph if my insurance is 50% off. I'll...

While I wouldn't go as far as Jesus and say "love thy e-bike neighbor", hating such pitiable people isn't necessary. It's not their fault the city can't craft a coherent transportation policy. Quibbling over renaming Centennial Park Stadium is more their speed. God Bless, Robert. May your...

I would like to suggest a more unusual idea: dance lessons. You can both join, have some fun and exercise. It's all about leading and following a partner, guided by rhythm. Husband or bike, it doesn't matter. Relaxed, precise movements are what it's all about.

Don't forget the coolness factor. We all ride bikes because they rumble, growl and whine (adding out own twists). Even general motorcyclists.

An H2? I bet it's an H2.

I thought you would be going for more...bass and not just extra noise.

IIRC, the GW250 was aimed at the Chinese/Indian/SE Asia market and pulls double duty as a first-world beginner bike since Suzuki canned the GS500. It probably competes fine in its intended market. That being said, they should have updated to a modern P-Twin replacement like the Ninja 650...

Heh, reminds me of my dad's monster Caprice ages ago. First night drive. Couldn't figure out why people were honking at me. I was driving sensibly, the dash lights were on, what gives? Pulled into the driveway later and the garage door didn't reflect the headlights. D'oh! Stupid dash-mounted...

PP was on the mark. I was hoping to suggest an Inrebian style, but I'll take whatever compliments I can get.

Toronto The Corpulent can't be avoided now. Notice how it muffin-tops into the former hinterlands. Getting there on weekends has become a commute in itself. Self-hypnosis is key these days. Breathe in. Count to five. Breathe out. Can you reason with a rafter of turkeys? Examine the blank, beady...

Personal observation only, but steady amber seems very noticeable, regardless of vehicle. The old ZX6E had steady amber signal lights when not signalling. Never had a SMIDSY moment on that bike and I didn't ride with the high beam on either. Still amazed it isn't standard on most bikes--the...

I would call it a self-propelled radiator. Man, can't anyone design a good looking rad?

If nobody comes along soon, I'll be offended by the shortage of offended-ness. The perils of social media cannot be avoided, you know. Saw a female-looking person riding a clean, white Street Glide recently. Very appealing. The bike I mean. Mechanically appealing. I could definitely dig that...

Is the beer with dinner + driving vs no beer with dinner + riding a scientific standpoint? If mild intoxication statistically increases the chance of an accident regardless, then choosing a car over a motorcycle is more about mitigating the effects of a possible collision. It's not a dig at you...

Never ask a bureaucrat "why?".

Heh, that's a blink of the eye in comparison to some other Japanese models. I believe Suzuki did show a DRZ400 concept bike (in Tokyo), sometime around the 2008 market/real estate crash. FI, revised plastics, suspension and possibly gearing. Looked a bit like a blue KTM.

That might interfere with telecom cartel profits--and Liberal campaign donations.
