    Range Rover runs over several bikers

    First off, your question is framed in a very negative and argumentative fashion. So, you should not be surprised that the replies received are in kind. In later posts (now seven pages long) you assert through your statements that the driver knowingly and with malice of forethought went...

    Hello from Belleville

    We met one of the members of this group and his Monster 696 on a Thursday night in Campbellford. He told us to look up the FB page but I was never able to find it. I HATE FARCE BOOK!!!! You can never find who you’re looking for. Well, I can’t. Anyway, thanks for the link. I’m not sure we’ll make...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    The movie Pain and Gain is totally Hollywoodized. The only connection between it and the real events are the abduction and torture of a wealthy businessman and the unbelievable fact that he survived. Read this: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/aug/27/true-story-behind-pain-and-gain

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    RUSH Fantastic movie, very entertaining. If you are not an F1 fan or don’t know anything about that time period you’ll likely enjoy this flick even more. That’s because to make it appeal to such a wide audience they have compressed the time, changed up the order of some events and left other...

    First Bike Purchase - Street or Dual Sport - Thoughts + Considerations Appreciated

    Re: First Bike Purchase - Street or Dual Sport - Thoughts + Considerations Apprecia I wanted a 1975 Honda CB400F as my first motorcycle. But I ended up buying an NOS 1974 Kawasaki G4TRD 100 with a dual range transmission like this one. I lived in Courtice and worked in Ajax. I would leave...

    Motorcycle thieves hitting residential homes now?

    No, all vehicles must be covered under separate motor vehicle policies and said policy must include theft coverage to make a claim. So if you’re thinking about parking your bike for a long time cancelling your insurance, DON”T! Drop the PL & PD but keep the fire and theft coverage on it...

    Does your bike have a name?

    My wife Linda's first motorcycle was a 2000 Honda Rebel 250. Rebels have a stylized hawk image on the side covers so she named the bike Isabeau after Michelle Pfeiffer’s character from the movie Ladyhawk. http://web.archive.org/web/20050313023008/http://www2.reach.net/seven/m600/RebRF1.jpg Her...

    Track/Race Pictures

    To do the Rossi “Leg Wave” correctly you must use the leg that is on the inside of the corner not the out side. Also, you need to “dangle it” more, not hold it out straight. ;) Or were you trying to imitate Carl Fogarty’s “Bollox to the lot of ya!”

    New truck?

    Ric, you know me. I’ve been transporting bikes to shows, tracks and off road events since the mid 70’s. I’ve had full size vans, big and small pick-ups, cars and SUV’s. Some worked better then others but I always found a way to use what ever I had. Best all around set up was my old Chevy van...

    Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! Ah Gaeezzuss H Christ, where do you guys think tabloid types like the Gawker get their tips from in the first place? News worthy, gawd dang I wonder if media like the Star even know what that is. The media is playing smoke and mirror games with you and...

    what its all about

    What it should be all about is; enjoying the ride. Remember the old saying, “It’s not what you ride but THAT you ride!” Unfortunately any discussion of riding will stir up debate on stereotypical behaviour whether fact or fiction. However, in this case I think it’s fitting to mention a couple...

    May 24 wknd - Got ticketed/close calls thread

    This is not news, the OPP have been using this tactic for decades. I was stopped between Cobourg and Port Hope over a dozen years ago by a LEO who was parked right up against the center wall. What ****** me off was that I was in the slow lane and had just been passed like I was sitting still by...

    Next Bike... Which one?

    Yes, I’m sure of the way I ride my Ducati 900 SS and how different it is to my MV Agusta 675 F3. I have friends who I’ve let ride my Ducati and they think it’s neat but it just isn’t for them and that’s OK. How many fours have anything under 2000? My 900 actual doesn’t like to run under 2500 but...
