    On Again....$25 for $50 Worth of Motorcycle Parts and Apparel from GP Bikes

    It says "Valid for new clients only". I have bought three bikes from them, obviously not a new client. Is that what it means?

    Pilot Road 3 tires malfunction and cause crash

    Yes they do. Underinflated tires run hot, and will separate and blow out eventually. Did you not follow the Firestone/Ford issue that has brought us to the mandated tire pressure monitoring system that must be installed on all light duty vehicles sold after Sept 1, 2007? You think they did...

    No more kc!!!!!

    Back in the old days cops were the same as they are now. If the stores or the management of the mall/strip plaza/whaterver called the cops, they would give cops permission to issue writs of trespass. It has always been this way. I am from the "back in the day" crowd. We did not crap where we...

    What do you remember? I'm feeling nostalgic today

    being let out of school early so we could watch the new flag raised, and the union jack be taken down, elmer the safety elephant, andy griffith show and not the reruns, the monkees, hot wheels first introduction, rfk and mlk assassinations, going to the cne on flag buses, being able to ride my...

    why does my bike get better range on 91 gas?

    Every Esso station I have used around the GTA all show up to 10% only on the regular (87) fuel, the other two do not say they have ethanol added.

    Blue book for imports?

    I would imagine there is also nothing stopping them from calling the seller and act like someone looking to buy the bike. When the seller says it is sold, the caller simply feins disappointment and innocently asks what did he up selling it for. You think the seller will still say 1k?

    what's the longest you've gone without changing brake fluid...

    If you are not going to follow the manufacturers recommendation, what are you basing your decision on for ever changing the fluid?

    Are the Speedo and the RPM gauge correct?

    To get back to your question, I think a slipper clutch is being used to prevent wheel hop on the downshifts more than a quickshift does.

    What do you do, when you see a driver texting?

    I simply pay attention to what I am doing, and do not care what someone is doing in their car. It is not up to me to enforce laws, I have enough to do already. Perhaps the OP needs to worry less about what others are doing, and worry more about what he is doing.

    Leaving the choke open.....

    Restriction in the fuel line will not cause the "engine to suck harder". Actually there is so much wrong in what you say, there is really no point trying to correct it. Complete post is wrong. Choke is closed when applied, not open. Generally you will need the choke applied when engine is...

    Should i get collision insurance or not?

    Seeing as how you have been down twice, I would consider getting it. If you total the bike, you are ahead, if you merely drop it, fix it yourself.

    Helmet style?

    I have never had issues with ear phones, the ones that go into the ear, and you can hear sirens just fine with them. The people that tell you you cannot hear outside noises with them in are either playing music so loud it will cause ear damage, or have never ridden with them. The music should...

    Cop dragged by bike

    He pulled his cruiser up beside, and slightly ahead of the biker, on the bikers right, the biker had to go to the left because the cruiser was to his right blocking the way. Most people when touched, look to see who it is, they don't just run without looking. I would imagine he stopped for the...

    Buyer dissatisfied about deal made through GTAM . .

    Tough to disclose it is not Arai when you simply cut and paste an ebay ad, including the pic of the shield on the helmet, and he even includes the line about watch the video from the ebay ad as well, but fails to cut and paste the video as well. He also did not cut and paste the price from ebay...

    bottom feeders strike again!

    But did you have the coverage that allows for depreciation? A month old bike is worth a couple thousand less than a brand new bike.

    What tax is payable on a private trade?

    MTO does not get any of the tax money they collect on behalf of the government. Just like the police forces do not get any of the fine money.

    Pickup Driver Almost Kills Motorcyclist

    Good god, are you actually that simple? I guess you must be right, no one has ever used that particular stretch of road as a race track (even though a quick search for roads to ride will lead you to that one). Google is an amazing piece of software, provided you actually use it. Please...

    Pickup Driver Almost Kills Motorcyclist

    Where did I say that? All I was doing was pointing out to a particular hard headed poster that the pickup driver was not reacting to what that one bike rider did, but was more likely reacting to an ongoing problem on HIS street. Some cannot understand that history is important to understand...
