    Are the deals GPbikes offer at the motorcycle show (in Feb) worth the wait?

    The last truck-load sale I picked out a few items I might like from their on-line flyer. Went to the store only to find nothing in stock that I was interested in. "Oh we can order it in" bull ****. Why advertise if it's not being stocked? Walked out without buying **** from them. I found...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition)

    Still riding and will be until the salt/snow. My buddies have all chickened out last weekend. I rode all day in the cold and rain up north. I love the challenge of wet roads. Now to clean up my bike for next weekend.

    Motul 7100 synthetic oil

    I wish I could get 7100 in Oshawa area for $60. GP bikes usually don't give us a break. I found 7100 quiets down the valve train a little and provides easy shifting. I'll pay GPB price if I have to because I love my ride.

    Well I think I'm done with street SS bikes...

    I'm 55y/o. I ride a ZX10R. I installed Heli bars, zero gravity screen and lower the foot pegs to the lowest position to make it useable. I once rode this thing for 16 hours. Motorcycling is seldom comfortable. If you sit on your couch for 8 hours your likely to get a sore back. A 6 hour ride...

    Having 2 bikes (SS + Standard) for the street?

    My buddy has 11 motorcycles. He only insures one and has a vintage thing going on as well. Since he's been with the same company for 50 years, he's able to swap insurance from one bike to another through some grandfather clause thing (so he tells me...) Anyway I don't need 11 bikes, I...

    Does anyone own a ZX10-R?

    It's all good as far as maintenance, I have a lift, articulated wheel chaulk and rear jack all-in-one. My oil filter in horizontal to the left, under the engine. My lift easily accommodates a oil catch pan... Happy Apexes.

    Getting passed by another motorcycle in my lane

    Did he/she at least go by on the left side? I don't have a problem with this as long as the lead rider indicates you can go by. Not the best way to pass but sometimes it's safer or easier than passing in lieu of using the on-coming lane... I would never pass in the same lane unless the other...

    Does anyone own a ZX10-R?

    Oh just one thing, it took me 5 hours to change the air filter :(

    Does anyone own a ZX10-R?

    I love my 2015 ZX10R! Bought it new after retiring my 1990 ZX11. Just add Heli bars, decent exhaust, adjust the suspension a little and add a Kawasaki tail bag and your gold. Kaw engines and transmissions are legendary. I bought the lightest sport bike I could afford (couldn't bring myself to...

    Arctic Cat Ram Rod

    I had a Rupp 440 Nitro snow machine in the 70's. It was made in North Bay On. At the time it was the fastest thing on the snow.

    Two cycle bike insurance

    Hey guys, I'm going to look at an 1983 RZ350 tomorrow (always wanted a 2 cycle for zooming about). I was just wondering if 2 cycle bikes are frowned upon by the insurance co's. If I remember right, a few decades back 2 cycle bikes (and turbo's) typically got raped by insurance co's.

    Cops aim to ERASE street racers from Ontario roadways

    Yep, years ago someone broke into my garage and stole my power tools. Obviously a kid because my motorcycle was untouched. I called the cops but it was not high enough priority. The next day, within a few hundred yards of said garage they were collecting revenue via a radar trap.

    Cops aim to ERASE street racers from Ontario roadways

    Now now, we can't upset the great unwashed tax payers eh. After all the mindless masses are the ones who pay for the roads---and politicians pensions...

    Stop

    My cousin got a ticket for stopping without putting his foot down. The cop was unconvinced he actually stopped. Cousin says "when you stop your car do you open the door and put your food down?" Cop was not amused.

    Possibly buying a Z1000! If you have one, post a pic!

    Buddy and I swapped bikes for a while last year. Buddy rode my zx10r and I tried his z1000. The mid range on the z was awesome. We later did a 6th gear roll-on starting at about 100k/h, z1000 just ate my ninja until it found some legs... Buddy seems to wheelie an awful lot on his z (sometimes...
