    Post up PICS of members bikes?

    They're the SW-Motech "Quick Lock" racks, can release them in about one minute and have very little remaining on the bike to "ruin" your look. The bags are Givi Monokey system so they come off with the twist of a key too (but the racks would still be on the bike, unless you do the release for...

    Post up PICS of members bikes?

    Here are some pics of my 2008 Ninja 650R with my new Givi E21s and SW-Motech rack, forgive me it was late and I tried to get creative with lighting.

    Need some input from 650r owners...gas mileage?

    My 2008 varies widely with riding style. Last summer I commuted on the 401 at ~140km/h indicated (130 on GPS) and the light would go on well before 300kms, say 250 or so. I once ran out completely pushing it to 311kms, and yet this summer my commute has changed and is all on secondary roads at...

    Royal's tent sale

    I picked up an AGV K3 Celebr8 helmet for a nice discount over US online retailers. Was a bit of an impulse buy for me, usually research the heck out of any purchase and was worried the lid would feel cheap compared to my Shoei TZR (5yo now)... Was happy to get home and see the webbikeworld...

    riding a 250cc (or less) bike on the 401 (or other major highways)

    Completely controlled situation, no cross streets, usually 3 lanes so you can control your position easily in relation to the other cars (which are all going the same way), open sight lines generally...

    riding a 250cc (or less) bike on the 401 (or other major highways)

    +1, still amazed at some of my biker friends that say "the 401 is pretty scary" to non-bikers, every time I end up in argument trying to explain why it's the safest place to be on a bike.

    Anyone rented from GTA Exotics?

    There's no chance you're renting bikes just because the 'city needs it' and you're not making any money on it, you yourself stated later that "we are not a charity" LOL. That statement alone ruins your credibility...

    riding a 250cc (or less) bike on the 401 (or other major highways)

    When I had my 250 I spent the majority of the 30,000 kms I put on it on the highway. A whole lot of Windsor to Guelph and back, Guelph to cottages, Guelph to Cape Breton Nova Scotia and back in 4 days. The bike is better on the highway than my sister's automatic Civic power wise (at 130), it's...

    Need a place to safety my bike in Guelph

    I've had good experiences with Randy at Tri-City Cycle in Waterloo (Weber street), hasn't been without screw ups but he made right on anything I had a problem with. Closest is Two Wheel Motorsport out highway 6 towards Fergus (just north of Woodlawn), haven't had the greatest experiences with...

    Failure to show proof of insurance

    For all I know it's at her house in Virginia too, she goes to school here in Guelph... just relaying the story I was given. She had all the physical copies from the last like 5 years in the car, just not the latest one (no excuse I know).

    Failure to show proof of insurance

    Hey guys a girl in my class just got a ticket for failure to show proof of insurance (she was in another friends borrowed car). In any case I've read that if she meets with the prosecutor and shows a letter from the insurance company saying the car had valid insurance on that day they might...

    Current Bike Mags of Note?

    I also have been impressed with Cycle Canada, I started subscribing just before Neil Graham took the helm and it has improved a ton. The new columnist that is a designer is great and seemingly knows his stuff. I also read Cycle World most months if only to read Peter Egan's column, same reason...

    Insurance for classic/vintage bikes

    I just got an 1150 quote on my '79 KZ400 from Jevco, sounds like similar specs to you (27/GM/1ticket). I didn't insure this bike last year for the same reason and it looks like i won't be able to find cheap insurance for it this year either. Worst part is that if my bike was a newer 400...

    2-Upping Destinations?

    Love this quote lol. SS guys don't eat? Or picnics aren't cool enough? Im assuming you meant storage? A tank bag, saddle bags, or backpack would do it.
