If I can find a used good one for a good price I'll replace it, otherwise keep it. The bike rides fine, i had to ride it home up the 404 and noticed nothing bad with it.

Thanks for the responses guys. the clutch side is bent perhaps 1 degree. it didn't really affect the functioning but I could tell something was slightly off. there was no fold in the metal so slight bend. I think buying a new bar in the future is the way to go. i will post a pic a little...

Hi, Lowsided this morning :(:mad:. the only thing that I want to fix at this stage is to straighten the handle bar side that made contact with the ground. I need some advise on how to do that. Is it better to take it to a shop? or just remove all the attached pieces and use brute force, if...

You may want to look into an osteopath. they do not manipulate bone so no cracking. My boss had great results with one, could barely walk from sciatica one day and the next he was fine. In natural medicine you could say an osteopath is the equivalent to a chiropractor only more gentle. As...

Luckily, with my bike, a 250cc Ninja, I think it'd be difficult to get into too much trouble. I have been doing stuff that I normally wouldn't do but I think it is still tame compared to some of the stuff I read on here. What brings me back down is the thought that I have a family that I need...

I have been breaking one of the main rules with regards to when you should not ride. It has always been said that one should not ride when tired, angry, distracted etc. I have a family member who was diagnosed with cancer and is terminal, only months to live. I go see him every morning before...

Horrible, my condolences to his family and friends.

I have the alter ego and true north by Joe Rocket. The alter ego has a removable flap which makes it great for summer riding, of course it gets warm in slow stop and go traffic. The true north has no venting so on really hot days they wouldn't be recommended. They are both very comfortable...

_ Holy crap. I am vacationing inTurkey right now and it isn't that hot here. Stay hydrated and ride safely.

Try getting on the streets after rush hour or early morning weekends it'll introduce you to riding alongside other vehicles but in a controlled manner. Get used to the speed, 60km on a bike feels much different than in a car. Give yourself lots of space with the car in front of you in case you...

I wear this; http://gpbikes.com/street/riding-gear/rain-gear/scott-ergonomic-tp-rain-jacket.html, from Scott. Have used it once under mild rain, kept me dry, albeit a bit warm over my MC jacket. It is also extremely Hi-viz with a long collar to fit tucked and keep the rain out.

this is my first full season of riding on a ninja 250. i get on the highway daily on my commute from warden to bayview. Ii find i need to get to the left lane as quickly as possibly to avoid the vic park and 404 on and off ramps. speed gets above 100 all the time and it's usually windy. I...

is this the same youngrider that started a thread about counter steering? if so, then his thread must be for research? who are the clowns in your work supposed to be? mmmmm

growing up in the 70s, during camping outings, I would always see the older bikers touring on their big bikes on the highways with the rolled up sleeping bag and gear on the back. I fell in love with the idea of being free on the road. They looked like non-conformists, a bit rebellious, I...

I got mine at snowcity cycle on kennedy rd

Don't stop at those 4, you can throw in North York and Agincourt, i've never ridden in Etobicoke so I can't comment. OP, I hope your cousin's ok and that they find the offending driver.

congrats on the bike, great colour design. when is your course? if you're too nervous about riding it then wait to practice on the course bikes (just in case you drop it), otherwise, practice clutch control to get the feeling of when the bike engages and throttle control to get the feeling of...

By stating the previous owner dropped it, what they are telling you is that is what dropped once but I rode it with no problems; the rashes/scrapes do not affect the functionality.
