    "air cooled" motorcycle owners? speak-up!

They were the last part's I needed before I could bolt everything back together. Going to be a busy weekend but hope to have her ready to go by Sunday. Will have...

    who's still riding? (in toronto)

    Don't forget the odd 125's! The roads weren't too bad today but the heavy layer of salt everywhere inclines me to put her into storage (after a quick wash). It's too bad because I remember past seasons when riding into mid December was doable.

    Bike tampered with ..A good deed?

    There are a lot of things I like to do on a bike. However parking conveniently isn't one of them. That's truly a good deed. Makes me wonder if similar logic struck whomever did it to me. Although today wasn't nearly hot enough to make a cbr125 sink into the asphalt. I don't think it ever gets...

    Bike tampered with ..A good deed?

    I stopped into Yorkdale earlier today and parked in a space right beside a curb outside the movie theatre. Came out about 40 minutes later to my bike facing the opposite direction. Stood there confused, and looked around for any potential suspects/witnesses. Nobody was around I proceeded to do a...

    Effects of Cross Winds: Cruiser vs Street Bike

    I agree with GreyGhost. I have also observed that if riding a sport bike - taking off the fairings and thus eliminating those aerodynamic efficiencies makes the crosswinds less dramatic. Can't say that I completely understand the science behind it, but it proved to work during that one windy...

    How fast will your bike go...

    Just made a run to the store to test it out. 35 in 1st, 11.5k Red line (can go to 12 but don't want to strain it). Edit: I should have mentioned Indicated. Probably closer to 25.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    You: Beautiful Red/Silver MV Agusta F4? headed WB on 401 at 427. You were in full black Dianese leathers. Me: White cbr125. I sat up and waved as I past you pretending that I wasn't fully tucked for the last 2 km trying to catch up. Just wanted to say I love your bike.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    That does not surprise me at all. With the insurance rates at what they are these days, I'm not even sure if anyone under 40 would be able to afford to ride a busa.

    To the Red/Black Hayabusa Rider in full Joe Rocket leathers traveling eastbound via QEW>Lake Shore>Queen>Kingston @ around 4 PM today, this post is for you.

    Students owning bikes & Osap

    Amen. OSAP will bite those in the *** who think it's free money - sooner or later. I came across this thread with the same question as the OP. Glad I found some useful information. I have a truck and a cbr125 (both probably less then $3000 in total), but OSAP accepted me. Regardless, I'm selling...

    Nearly became a hood ornament

    Judging by the condition of the car it would not surprise me one bit if the guy didn't have insurance. I will pursue the situation and follow up with the police at the collision centre on Monday. The officer I dealt with when filing the report was really helpful and hopefully he's still there...

    Nearly became a hood ornament

    Update! I got a call from my insurance company (Jevco) and the agent on the phone said that because of the system he's using, its nearly impossible to trace the Quebec license plate. The claim has since been closed and wont reflect on my insurance. That's pretty silly IMHO. I'm going to go to...

    Nearly became a hood ornament

    I will. I was told I can go check up on the status of the incident next week. That's the exact reason why I filed the claim in the first place. He obviously needs to be sitting on a porch rather then behind the wheel of a 2+ ton Lincoln.
