    How to sell a CycleShell (portable bike garage)

    Mmm.. I know there are classifieds forums here but I don't know where this would fit, which is kind of my problem with this thing. I have one of these (the touring version): And I don't need it any more, got a double-car garage now. It's a really awesome way to store your bike any season...

    Fork springs clicking normal?

    Yeah, sounds like it could be something like that. Maybe that's an excuse to take the forks apart :) Need a couple of tools though, there's a big nut and some weird washer inside that needs a special tool acording to the manual. Damn, well I hope that either you're not pushing hard enough or...

    Fork springs clicking normal?

    Hi I noticed when doing the regular checkup on my Vulcan 900 that when I hold the brake amd bounce the front of the bike up and down there is some clicking noise, I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. So I asked my wife to do it while I was down there listening and the clicking is...

    I don't think I would trust myself :) I sent you a private message, I'm not sure if you read those?

    Touring comfort on a Vulcan 900 Custom

    Thanks! I have a new baby so I won't get to ride it as much as I used to ride the old one but I'm still very happy to have it. Which one? I've been reading about it and people say the cafe is useless. The short seems too short also. Did you get the touring one? Also it seems based on their...

    Touring comfort on a Vulcan 900 Custom

    Got it! What a great looking bike! Took some negotiating, finally got the guy to agree to sell it for 5600$ but include his Cycle Shell, which is a really cool concept, I'm sure I'll be happy I have it one day. Had to go pick it up from Windsor though :) Don't have any photos, but it looks...

    Touring comfort on a Vulcan 900 Custom

    Cool, thanks guys! I guess you told me what I wanted to hear - it's not a bad cruising bike. I've never bothered to customise anything on my 500, it was always (year after year after year) going to be a starter bike so I didn't want to invest too much into it. But if I get a 900 that will be...

    Touring comfort on a Vulcan 900 Custom

    Hi I have been riding a Vulcan 500 for years, and am now shopping for a used Vulcan 900. I don't need to but I've been thinking about it for years, and what the hell, why not. From the photos I really like the look of the Custom model. If for no other reason than that it has no spokes...

    Markham street parking free or not?

    Yep, I got that, and I given that this is the law I should probably pay the ticket, but how do I go about changing that law? How did it happen in Toronto? There's two ways I can think of: 1) Dispute the ticket in court, and instead of arguing that I shouldn't pay the ticket I'd argue that the...

    Markham street parking free or not?

    Yeah, I'll feel comfortable arguing that it's undue stress and financial burden - not the paying for parking but the worrying about having the ticket stolen, and going to the town hall (during business hours), wasting time there and probably being treated like a liar. And for what? My taking up...

    Markham street parking free or not?

    Oh, are you sure? That really sucks. I guess I'll have to try and talk to my concillor about that (I actually live in Markham, right on the border). Anyone know how to do that most effectively? How about anywhere else around Toronto and elsewhere in Ontario/Canada? Are you typically allowed to...

    Markham street parking free or not?

    I've been parking on the street in the GTA for many years, but yesterday parked on the street in Markham and got a ticket (fail to properly display a parking control machine receipt, 40$). WTF? I called the city and someone called me back and said she's absolutely sure that in Markham a...

    Roads between Toronto and Timmins

    Awesome, thanks guys! I think what I'll do is decide on the way, based on the available routes you mentioned and timing and the weather, and gas stations, going to be a fun weekend!

    Roads between Toronto and Timmins

    Oh, very nice, thanks! East or west of Timmins? It looks rather straight on the way to Quebec, is it still nice?

    Roads between Toronto and Timmins

    Cool, then maybe I'll take 11 one way and 144 the other.

    Roads between Toronto and Timmins

    On a small cruiser (Vulcan 500) that's taken me to Newfoundland and back before. I can go offroad for a little bit (like ride for 30 minutes to get to a campsite) but mostly I need pavement. I can see from the map that taking highway 11 all the way up would be less than 8 hours, but I wonder if...

    Roads between Toronto and Timmins

    Hey all I was thinking of some ride to do on the long weekend and looked on the map, it seems that Timmins is actually doable in 3 days. Has anyone been? Are there better motorcycle roads than the (I'm assuming boring) transcanada? Anything particularly interesting to see on the way or once...

    Yep, it was the battery, thanks guys! I was overanalyzing it, should have tried the obvious first :)
