    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Tonight @ around 9:20pm. You on a black sport bike, maybe a ninja, going north on Kipling, me on my Magna going South. We passed each other at the Burnhamthorpe intersection. Kudos man.. freezing rain and potholes galore. I'm guessing you rode into work like i did today thinking how beautiful...

    Word of warning for adding Fuel Stabilizer.

    October 15th and people are winterizing already? sheesh.. i commuted daily to work on the bike right up until xmas week last year and plan on doing the same this year except on rainy days. Luckily i leave for work after 10am when the sun is up, but i have to ride home in the dark after 9pm...

    getting ready for winter

    Put stabilizer in it, put it on a tender, and then if you start it up do it on a dry day and actually ride it for a bit, don't just fire the engine up and idle it, i've heard that is worse than just not starting it at all all winter. I didn't drain my carbs last winter when i finally parked it...

    does anybody ride in winter?

    Like others have said it depends on weather, dryness of roads, if there is salt, black ice etc.. Last year i commuted to work daily on the bike right up until Dec 24th. But this year seems colder already. This first week of October feels colder than i recall it being even in late November...

    Honda Confirms V4 Sportbike

    They should bring back the Magna while they're at it as a sport-cruiser like it was in the 80's and not the ugly thing they created in the late 90's and early 2000's

    427 S just before eglinton exit

    Same here, i normally commute to work on the 427 up to north of the airport, but the last month the roads are horrible, the south side is all torn up/milled, and the northbound lanes and collectors have all sorts of gaps and mismatched pavement. It's ridiculous. I've been taking the long slow...

    What's going on?? So many accidents!

    Yep.. saw a bunch of idiots on sportbikes racing down the QEW towards mississauga last night around 10pm way above the speed limits. To those of you morons who were part of that, grow the hell up, you make all of us riders look bad, no wonder cagers hate bikers.

    Rude idiots

    Normally i'd say shoulda gone loco and beat up the two dudes. But since they were with a fat chick, they are already being punished.

    Officer killed. Barack Obamas motorcade.

    It just goes to show how inherently dangerous motorcycle riding is, that a cop, in a motorcade with dozens of other bikes and vehicles in a Presidential motorcade can still get hit by some moron. I mean if you don't see a freakin motorcade coming.. what are you doing on the roads? The guy in the...

    Hwy 400 wheelies 3 riders arrested

    Repossess their bikes and put them in the crusher, then ban the riders from having a motorcycle license in Ontario for life. Might help some of the meatheads who do that kind of thing get the point.

    GoPro Alternative for iPhone?

    Just get a GoPro instead of wasting extra money/time on adapting phones, you'll damage your phone in the end. The GoPro is a much higher quality camera that was designed for just the one purpose and it does it best and it has the best and most extensive mounting options.

    What an elaborate scam site

    Ok someone has to ask. What is the scam exactly? They make you pay a huge down payment then you never hear from them again? Or they bait and switch and sell you a Harley but some no-name brand bike shows up? Having a website makes them an easy target if they are pulling scams, surely someone...

    Driving a car in bare feet

    Barefoot driving will not give you a 'better feel' or better control. The skin of your foot is slippery, and the sides of your foot curve giving no real traction, the sole of a shoe sticks better and has far more surface area on the pedal. Common sense, it doesn't require any deep thought on the...

    Warm fall this year

    Every year for the past decade has been getting warmer so we don't really need a prediction. It's global warming. I can't recall any winters in the past 10 years that were anything close to those when i was a kid 40 years ago. Last year i commuted on the bike daily to work right up until xmas...

    Rider Down — short rant

    Brampton has become so bad for driving because it has become little India, and i don't mean that in a racist way at all before anyone thinks that, i have many friends from india, but if you watch any youtube vids of how conjested it is in their home country and how they ride/drive over there i...

    Need advice on "Pass on Right - Not in safety" Offence

    Just pay the ticket and get it over with, you have no case. You were following the taxi too closely, you admitted such and the cops said so too. Had you been the proper distance behind him you would have had time to stop behind him and wait until he moved or until it was safe to go around him...
