My 65 Norton Atlas

In situations like that I prefer to use my brakes rather than hope a little old lady will react properly and slam hers on!

Rocket III is definitely a power cruiser and used ones can be had in your price range.

No details on the weight but it is claimed to be lighter than the previous generation.

5mph increase caused such effects?

Then yuou would be one of the people missing the point. Perhaps this will answer some of your questions? http://www.civ.utoronto.ca/sect/traeng/its/downloads/gta-speed-limits-study.pdf

A lot of people seem to be missing the point. We have been driving at 120kph on the 400 series highways for so long that the conclusion is that we will drive at 20 over the speed limit no matter what. What the 85th percentile is doing is driving at the natural speed the hwy was designed for...

I just got back from a week in Maggie Valley. A fantastic trip with a great run on the Dragon with almost no traffic. Heated gear definitely saved the day :)

Nowadays I can't remember what I had for breakfast but I do recall an interesting article about a Honda CB550 called "The Gentleman's Express" from Cyle magazine, 1975. I just googled it and it is on line. If you haven't already seen it it might be an interesting read.

Extremely unlikely that anyone will chrome plate a used exhaust. All the oil and carbon inside the pipes will mess up their tanks. What bike is it for?

Any damage to the sidewall is considered irrepairable. You can clearly see in the first pic where the wire has come out the side. Scrap, no question!

Copper will work. Fibre might break if tightened too much.

1100 km from Newmarket to Winchester VA via Gananoque on my '73 Norton Commando back in the day. Me and the bike were a lot younger back then. The bike still runs well, me not so fast :)

What bike is it? have you tried adjusting the idle screw?

Even here they go for about $2500/3000 for a Sprint or Trophy which are higher spec, though that one is low mileage.

Somebody should invent something to prevent this dangerous thing from happening! I suggest they name the new invention "wear bars".

On a motorcycle it is advised to lift from the seat to allow your elbows and knees to absorb shock in certain circumstances. This is from the official Ontario handbook. I also have a letter somewhere that I copied from a post here some years ago written by James Snow who was the then minister of...

I thought the officer was asking a question at the time so no speed involved?

Nobody thinks it is unusual or wrong for the cop to have his hand on his gun for a minor traffic offense?
