    trailering to USA

    Where are you planning to ride? I have a good friend who rents cabins just outside Murphy N.C. He’s a huge bike fan with a large collection of vintage Ducatis. Many of the hotel/motel chains (that have the space) will allow you to leave vehicles as long as you stay the night before you leave and...

    trailering to USA

    If you have all your paper work in order, (ownerships for all vehicles, insurance slips for same, driver’s license, personal photo I.D. and most importantly passports) then you should be fine. If it’s an enclosed trailer and the first time you’ve crossed you may be required to pull over and...

    Mosport renovations

    Sorry to deflate your balloon but... that only works in the movies. Back in it’s hay day Mosport couldn’t support more then a couple of major and three or four lesser events per season. Hell 1967 was it’s biggest year with five international races. Nearly 60,000 people saw the first F1 Canadian...

    Mosport renovations

    I loved the track the way it was before the Panoz purchase and its subsequent castration. That’s when it lost its character.

    Mosport renovations

    Interesting video clip. So when did Ron Fellows win his NASCAR Championship? Better question, how did he win one? He’s only ever done the road courses and I don’t think he’s had more then three top 10 finishes since starting in themid 90’s. Who ever wrote that copy should have done their...

    do you name your bike? if so what is it and why?

    Wife’s 1st bike was a Rebel 250 with the Hawk on the side covers. Her favourite movie is Lady Hawk so she named her Honda Izabo. Wife's 2nd bike was a Monster M600 Metallic she called Rosa. If you went to a GTA bike show between 2002 & 2007 you probably saw Rosa with her fiesta red...

    Police Officer Blatantly Lies In Court Against Me Today

    Did your super duper, crime fighting paralegal not ask for disclosure prior to trial? If he had he should have received a copy of the officer’s notes plus his name a badgenumber. Then today all you would have had to do was ask the officer, after histestimony, to identify himself. Easy peasy, the...

    Best looking sport bike of 2012

    MV Agusta 675 F3 PERIOD! Its soooo beautiful, sleek, sexy, narrow, light, agile, flick able. Run your hands over her curves and feel her creases. She’ll make you weep, (in your pants). Just sitting still she begs you to throw a leg over and make silly varoom-varoom sounds. But, the MV triple...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    I was out Sunday afternoon. Saw only a few sport bikes. However, so many group of cruisers I lost count of ‘em all. I was wanting to ride around Rice Lake but got away far too late and had to turn around and head back less than 1/2 distance. I did manage to get as far as county road 9 south of...

    Arai vs Shoei

    Red Dog, it’s your response that’s garbage. You are talking about two of the oldest helmet manufactures still in business today. Thirty years ago they were not only competing against each other but also with the likes of Bell and Simpson. Today there is even more competition. Shoei has won many...

    Seeing RED - Insurance blues or SCAM

    I can’t speak for others but I myself have complained to Financial Services Ontario as well as my M.P.P. over and over again. As you can imagine I have had little effect to date. However, I did win a moral victory over Riders Plus after registering a formal complaint with the Registered...

    5 Dangerous Ducati 1199 Panigale recalls... Ouch!

    Yellow journalism at it’s finest. There isn’t a manufacturer out there that hasn’t had both major and minor problems with their products. I’ll bet that if you look hard enough you’ll discover technical bulletins or full on recalls for every model built by which ever manufacturer you wish to pick...

    Arai vs Shoei

    After nearly 40 years of riding and racing I’ve worn all the major brands. Started out with Bell but switch to Shoei because they use to have reps at the races doing service, inspections and offering replacement when they found detrimental damage. It didn’t hurt that I found them a better...

    What constitutes a 'modified' bike?

    Major, I agree with your #1 point. If a person increases the value of their ride and expects to be compensated for that should they make a claim then they have to know they'll need to pay a higher premium. Unfortunately, as much as I agree with your #2 point, it is not how the insurance...

    What constitutes a 'modified' bike?

    I just went through this very issue. I had a devil of a time getting quotes for my new bike as no one had any info on it. I started a WTF type thread about this some time ago. The week before I was to take delivery the wife was able to get a conditional quote based on a similar model from our...

    How to wash a Ducati.

    Krystle Lopez rides with an Albuquerque NM group and is a nurse at the local VA hospital. She posts on the Ducati Monster Forums (ducatimonsterforums.org) as Ducmouse (or Ducmouse the Sytaxor ....not a misspelling...) in the local club section, NMMR, in case you want to leave her feedback. I'm...

    Motorcycle Speedo" never right!

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the number of people who are not aware of "speedo error" with all types of vehicles. Not everyone grew up with a father like mine who, among many other things, rebuilt / recalibrated mechanical speedometers, (on the kitchen table). However it has been in the...
