    Where did you ride today? - New rider version

    I definitely did the same drag quite a bit last year, getting used to traffic. I think I've seen you this year, I'm near Runnymede and Annette. One thing about getting used to the sound of when to shift vs looking at tach - I upgraded to a much nicer helmet this season, and having less wind...

    Quick rain trip - should I lube chain?

    Hey y'all, have a quick question for you.. The past couple weekends I've been riding to work on Sundays, which is a whole 10 minutes away on the moto. There has been light rain both last week and today, and I'm curious if I should be concerned about lubing the chain after such quick little...

    First Bike Crash - Advice Required

    Well I haven't exactly been here for long, but damn that's nice of them. I emailed them through the Kijiji ad to say thanks, and as a rider I will definitely be keeping their info on hand for if and when I ever need a tow. Great to see other small business owners exercising compassion. Nice...

    dog food selection?

    I feed both my boys Orijen now, but when I had the freezer space I raw fed. Way cheaper, much better for them. Organs, tripe, chicken/turkey necks from a local butcher (they often just give away the necks), beef on sale from the grocery store, and an ice cube per meal that I'd pre-make of...

    Where did you ride today? - New rider version

    I ventured out past the block and a half radius around my house today, first time! Went down Annette between Runnymede and High Park, and even got my first nod from another rider! SPIT YES, I want to do this every damn day.

    Brake caliper repair?

    Thanks for everyones replies and input! I called yesterday morning, and the bike was ready to go, just waiting on the paperwork for the safety certificate. So I'm heading over to pick him up this morning. Brake caliper just needed servicing and a new seal, piston was fine. Phewf! He chopped...

    Brake caliper repair?

    If I pull it before they do any work, I'll still have to pay for the inspection, correct?

    Brake caliper repair?

    Yeah one of the reasons I bought this bike was to learn how to work on it myself, so it's pretty tempting to pull it and do it myself.. Just sucks I'll have to pay the $95 for the inspection they've done, and not get the certificate. And yes that was the Dyna unit they mentioned. Poor wording...

    Brake caliper repair?

    Thanks for the reply Spyug! I don't like assuming I'm getting hosed due to having lady parts, but yeah, sometimes people pull that bullcrap. Unfortunate. I'm going to give them a call first thing Monday morning to let them know I just want the caliper done, no upsells. Keeping my fingers...

    Brake caliper repair?

    Hey y'all, a couple questions.. Took my bike to cyclewerx Friday to get a safety done. They call me after a bit saying it looks good, except the front brake is dragging, and it's a very common problem for 70's Honda Cb's. Says they can't tell if it just needs a service on the caliper or a...

    Hi, just got my bike

    If you haven't already signed up for a course, call RTI on Monday. I'm just home from my first riding day and they are rad. They had CBRs to ride as well as a few other options. I too got my bike before the course, (albiet a smaller one) and practised the feel of putting it in first, back to...
