    Lowering a CBR125. Links provided, opinions required.

    Went through a similar situation with my cbr250r. Hubby and I lowered the back, and the front forks with no issues so far. I don't see any handling difference. It's not like it's a permanent thing. When comfort level gets better, you can raise it up again :)

    Louannes Newfie Fries

    You need Mt. Scio savoury to make it truly Newfie ;). I hope they do make it that way. Yum! Always called it dressing, even when we stuffed the bird... Chips, dressing n' gravy ftw!! Nothing better than hot chips on a cold day after a skate. Rib stickin'.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Neat! Just stumbled upon this thread. I've shot skeet with a 303, if memory serves me right. Nearly blew me off my perch, lol! But the bulk of my shooting has been on ranges. Rifle team. Learned on Lee Enfield C no. 7s . 22 calibre and graduated up to Anschultz when I was worthy of one. Top...

    Fun times on cold tires and pavement.

    That was not easy to watch :(. I winced each time it spun and sparked. It seemed to slide forever :(. Glad to see you didn't get hurt!

    New rider - dropped bike

    Hey OP, don't get discouraged. It takes a lot of guts to admit to a fall. Gravel is a PITA, and plentiful in the corners until the rains wash it away :(. The side roads up north are full of it, eyes are always scanning ahead and as far around the turn for it, and I will even bypass a turn if it...

    cbr250 engine shuts off randomly when clutch pulled in

    I've had it happen once. Yup, when you coast along with clutch pulled in and let off the throttle. Thought it was just me doing something wrong as a newbie. It hasn't happened since, knock on wood! I have learned since to downshift when slowing, instead of coasting, and give a little blip on...

    Any Shark dealers left in Toronto? Or anyone have a scrap RSR2?

    I was out in the Kitchener/Waterloo area this passed weekend and noticed some Shark helmets on display at Zdeno. They have oodles of goodies all over the store, and helmets galore. Why not give them a call and see what they have? A trip there from Brampton (from ur location status above)...

    Is riding really going to kill me?

    Curiosity doesn't kill the cat, it always seems to figure out a way to land on all fours :). What I mean by that is that your curiosity to ride won't kill you, but do as much as you can to ride with the ability to ride safe, and the knowledge to ride with all intentions of making it to your...

    Riding before course date (already registered)

    Totally get ya :). There was some messing around with bolts for my frame sliders too, and after lowering the bike the kickstand had to be cut to allow for the new height. There was some dicking around with it all, but eventually it worked out. It was hard to find boots and helmet that fit...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Good morning :)! Love waiting for my ride into work these mornings. Harwood at Kingston intersection has every single type of bike passing through, even though the fog is thick! Hey to the dual sport going north, the cruiser going south, and the pair of cruisers in bright vests heading...

    **LOUD** enough for ya??

    The only way they are going to hear you is when you pass them, so it's basically useless if you are behind someone. If you are in front of them...well, as riders it is our responsibility to keep checking back there anyways to make sure no one is following too closely or is just about to rear...

    Video game nostalgia thread

    All the Wolfenstien, Doom, Half Life, and Unreal Tournament series. Some Half Life, but not much. Favourite was UT2K4. Older games on cartridge for Gemini/Colecovision...too many to list, but loved Pitfall. But you can't beat a pinball machine. I have an original Mustang 2 player that made...
