    Almost got nailed today!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would love to know what HTA clause states this, since I can't find it.

    $3900 - for 27,000km 2004 gs500 - does this sound too much?

    Yes, it's high. I paid 4100$ from a dealer for a 2007 GS500F w/800 kms.

    Tank bags and touch screens.

    I'm curious if anyone has discovered a tank bag whose map pocket works with devices using capacitive touch screens? Seems like an iPad could make for a handy GPS unit if the touchscreen was able to work properly through the material of the map pocket. If no one makes a tank bag with this sort...

    Pulled Over By Cop For Giving 9-Year-Old Girl A Motorcycle Ride

    A huge majority of motorcycles on the market come with a pillion seat from the factory. For that matter, where exactly are you expecting the passenger to sit without one?

    Slowing Down/Braking - What do you use? Shift or Brakes?

    I use either or both depending on the situation and circumstances - anything else seems absurd. Sometimes one makes sense, sometimes the other, and sometimes you need both, depending on where and how you're riding. In normal traffic situations I usually give two quick flashes before a full...

    'Cars only' sign on parking garage?!

    For the first time, I tried to go to my dentist on my bike instead of on the TTC. My dentist is in a super busy area of town, so what ended up happening? I spend 30 minutes looking for legal parking before giving up and parking behind the building in a corner of the staff lot and was too late to...

    What are your cheapest, yet best mods on your bike? (Less than $50)

    You can probably do the jets for less than 50$ (I paid 25$ for a set), if jets will help your bike.

    Is RoseyToes the only decent mechanic?

    I have to admit I find some of the commentary here not very useful: Of course you should learn to do a good amount of your own maintenance, but that's not really what the OP asked about. Sometimes ****'s just plain broken and needs professional attention...

    Advantages and disadvantages of graduated licensing?

    Wow, that sounds absurd to me. Why would you do that, is there something wrong with not driving cars? I've never driven a car and never plan to, and I'm sure I'm not the only rider on these forums who just rides bikes and doesn't drive cars. I can't begin to understand why you'd support such a...

    Hitch motorcycle carriers? good? bad?

    Isn't the way that the bike blocks the view of the license plate from some angles a little sketchy, legally speaking?

    Where to buy a Xena alarmed Disc-Lock?

    I bought one off the shelf at Snow City a couple of months ago. They only had the 110 db models on the shelf, the 120 db ones would have taken them a couple of days to get in from the warehouse. Probably cheaper online (haven't compared), but maybe you'd rather get one right away.

    Stunt Driving ticket

    DID the police see it happen? The OP says he got the ticket while "stunt driving while in a group" and that "some got away some didn't". Maybe the cops tried to flag down the group and some pulled over, some fled? Later, back at the station they go over camera footage from the car and run the...

    M1 Exam example questions

    If you do all of the above you'll probably still pass the test. It's not that hard.

    You Won't Be Seeing This Suzuki Sport Tourer In Canada

    Is this the same bike as the 'GSR250'? Looks about the same to me.

    Help: Bike died on highway, then came back to life

    halsam, this is a well known issue with the Suzuki GS500. It is a fuel starvation problem related to the petcock. If you go over to the GSTwins message board and search for 'fuel starvation' you'll find dozens of posts on this exact topic as it relates to your bike. Long term fix: Replace...

    Stunting on an e-bike?

    Hey guys, I just took another glance at the HTA and a thought came to mind: HTA 172 specifically applies to 'motor vehicles', and e-bikes are specifically designated as bicycles and excluded from being classed as 'motor vehicles'. It seems to me like you could stunt on an e-bike with relative...

    Helmet style?

    Does anyone else refer to riding a motorcycle as 'cycling'? For some reason that phrasing makes me think of a bicycle.

    Sore Neck? :(

    SS bikes don't really offer a terribly comfortable riding position... I'd look at posture first.
