    Replacing VFR800 with Naked Bike?

    The Ducatis/BMWs mentioned (with the exception of the F800) are out of my price range. I don't feel comfortable spending that much money for a bike. The F800 seem quite underpowered, and when I drove one, I didn't like the sound of the parallel twin (?). If I could afford a bigger one I'd be...

    Replacing VFR800 with Naked Bike?

    After owning my VFR800 for 12+ years and it proving to be the definition of a reliable workhorse, I’d like to get something new. Naked and sporty is what I want BUT I still require the reliability, low maintenance/cost that the VFR has proven to be. I have no idea what new bikes are out there...

    Best Toronto City Bike/Commutor/Touring?

    I like the idea behind the bike but other than being a scooter/bike hybrid with some great storage and amazing fuel mileage, I don't see how it would be great for Toronto roads. Seems like any other bike in that respect.

    Best Toronto City Bike/Commutor/Touring?

    Anyone who lives in Toronto (or other big cities) knows just how bad the roads can get with potholes, construction, unpaved sections of highways, and the constant stop-and-go of traffic. I currently ride a VFR, and as much as I love it, it's not the best bike for the city, nor do I believe that...

    Running from police.

    A few years ago, I was charged with Flight and Dangerous Conduct, both Criminal Acts and went through the trial process. I wrote about the events and the aftermath here if anyone is curious: http://marcoarash.wordpress.com/2005/12/17/my-ordeal-criminal-chargestrial/
