    Quoted on Super Sport + Cycleworld Q

    I bought an R6 from them. I wouldn't do it again. They lied to me several times, ripped me off on the installed items on the bike and were generally not plesent to deal with, good luck. The bike, they admitted, was an auction bike from the states and sold to me without warrenty, as-is. Luck...

    What did everyone buy at the show this weekend?

    Got a front pilot C2 for $130 tax in from Zendo, basically same price as Royal distributing but no tax... Aug 2011 rubber so no old stock. Sister in law got a 800 Vulcan from Bens Motorcycles. Man is she happy. Paid $8 for a pizza slice with a pop and doritos.

    Stoplights that never go green! argh!!!

    Same here, I get stuck at the end of my street. I regularly treat it as defective and run the red when clear. I have done the push button shuffle when I have to but who has time for that. Those burried cables look for steel, my tires are rubber and Kevlar, rims and chasis are aluminum, they...

    Adventure: Toronto to Vancouver via Canada and back via the USA

    I did the same thing twice in a car. 14 hour drives and I have to say northern Ontario was horrible. I wish I had a bike to do it, it was really twisty but in a car, exhausting. Look out for animals, Moose crossing was busy and I took out a porcupine one day. Once you hit the rockies you will...

    Ninja 250 Issues. Please help.

    The wifes 250 did the same thing when we bought it. The only way it would run was to run it with the choke on. Was crazy! I pulled the carbs apart and hit them with carb cleaner getting every passage, or so I thought, still ran like crap. I pulled the carbs off again and ultrasonic cleaned them...

    Should GM, Ford or Dodge build motorcycles?

    Harley Davidson made 190 million this quarter alone.... Mind you they've been at it a while. I agree about Suzuki, I owned a sprint once :rolleyes: and the motor was FAST but the body was like a tin can. I could never underdtand why Honda can make such a powerful bike engine but the car engines...

    Should GM, Ford or Dodge build motorcycles?

    Hey, I was watching American chopper last night and they started a battle build between Paul Jr. and Paul Sr. under the Cadillac brand theme. Seems Jr. is killing Sr. and I'll have to wait 'till next week to se the final product. This made me wonder, why have the big three never tried to build...

    URGENT: need a mechanic to inspect a bike this Saturday at Cycle World Superstore!

    The bike I bought there was mechanically sound enough they just didn't make sure it was in good shape when I left. There was no warranty offered and sold in "Good Mechanical Condition" which can be taken a dozen ways in front of a lawer.... Not to mention the aftermarket stuff was missing when I...

    Those with Media Players ... step inside

    I have a wd box, not the live, I got from Factory Direct for $59. It played everything so far except a MOV file from an old camera. Divx, AC3, avi, VOB's you name it. I love it. I was looking at Tiger Direct at an Iomega Media box as an upgrade. Factory Direct is selling the live for $79... I'd...

    Big mistake, paint job messed up

    I pulled a ton of overspray off with a power buffer (canadian tire sale $49) and Meguiar's glaze / polish. Also removes grime and swirls. Excellent for black bikes. Detail your friends cars and bikes when your done for extra cash!

    Crash Survivors

    I was riding in November on my Venture Royale (aka Boat) at night doing 80k when after passing an intersection some clown in a pickup who just turned onto the road ahead of me cut me off in the fast lane. I remember the blinker flashing, locking both tires and hitting his rear drivers side...

    Cycle World Superstore Misery - Never again

    I'm a pretty mild mannered guy and I figured posting their habbits on this site would get their attention best since they don't care how much screaming you do to their face. It's a lesson to be learned and hopefully everyone here will heed the warning when dealing with them. I already bought...
