    Got caught going 166 km/h on highway. Need help!

    When charged with speeding, you are either guilty of speeding or not guilty of speeding. The amount over the limit is merely there to set the fine. 1km over, or 49km over, it is simply speeding. Once you pass the 50km/h threshold, the charge changes. It is no longer speeding. When the crown...

    The new VFR also has that option, it is called a dual clutch transmission.

    Shifting without using clutch?

    As you pass through neutral, change engine rpm to match trans rpm. Start off by moving the shifter to neutral, and as you lean on the shifter towards the gear you want, slowly raise and lower the engine rpm, once they match it will fall into gear. With lots of practice you will be able to match...

    License plate positioning

    Or even easier, if you move it from stock, it will more than likely be deem illegal. You have to remember, the plate is not there to look nice, it is there to identify the vehicle.

    Shifting without using clutch?

    If all the gears are "engaged" that would be called "park". You cannot have more than one gear "engaged" at a time with a single clutch transmission, regardless of being a bike or a car. Just because the gears are in mesh does not mean that they are engaged. Car transmissions also have gears...

    Pickup Driver Almost Kills Motorcyclist

    If you actually believe that the driver of the truck was reacting to just these two bikes on that day only, then you are mistaken. I would think that the driver of the truck has seen other bikes out there, on other days. And most likely those bikes on the other days, were treating this road...

    Shifting without using clutch?

    You are not answering the question. The question is, how do you get the engine rpm to drop the 800rpm you gave in your example, without either slowing down, or using the clutch. Given that the engine is physically attached to the rear wheel when the clutch is engaged, you cannot slow the...

    Front Brake Drag

    If you are concious of what you are doing, it is not the worst mechanical advice ever. If you are an idiot that cannot remember what he has just done 5 minutes ago, that is not my fault, that is the fault of two cousins marrying and having a child. You will note that I did not say take a run...

    Front Brake Drag

    Is the lever new looking? Could be the wrong lever, or one that is defective and is not releasing enough to uncover the compensating port in the master. The longer you ride, the more the front brake applies, to the point that you cannot ride the bike at all, the front wheel will not even turn...

    Scam?

    I have not heard of that one for years. I thought it went the way of the dinosaur. When Craigslist first started, if you posted a car for sale you would get that call from a company that specialized in selling cars online. Since online was relatively new, it was the perfect scam. I did not...

    Funny story about an r6 i went to look at yesterday

    It is how he operates. He has done it before, even to the point he left a deposit according to one of his posts here, then changes his mind and demanded his deposit back.

    Fuel tank capacity lower than stated?

    Hate to burst your bubble sparky, but, on my 99 VFR I could get 380 to 410 km on a tank of fuel. Tank was not run dry, but fuel light was on. And to make it worse for you, my buddy would match that mileage on his 91 FJ1200. We did it quite a few times on the long trips. That equates to...

    Massive Renewal Increase

    You voted for McGuinty last time, after he broke everyone of his 25 campaign promises the election before? And you don't consider yourself one of the "sheep"?

    Three Wheelers. Wave or Not to Wave?

    I have a FZ1, a scooter and a truck. I take the scooter for those short around town trips, and wave at all bikes out of habit, virtually none wave back. When I am on the FZ1, most wave back. Point is, just because it is a scooter does not mean the rider does not ride "real" bikes. And, I...

    wow why always me

    Why should chases be made "illegal"? You mean you want it so that if you simply drive off from the cops, they should just let you? Let me guess, you will now say they got your plate number, they can just mail the ticket to you. What if the owner of the car is not driving, or if the plate is...

    Stopping the engine

    Using the kill switch always will make it a habit, and your first choice in an emergency when it arises. In other words, there are worse habits to have.
