    You know you can buy an oil fliter socket from BMW that fits/works perferctly on OME filters, yes?

    Four motorcyclists charged for doing 192km/hr on the 404

    Really? You needed to drive 100 km/h in the centre lane to figure out that is one of the most dangerous things drivers do? Didn't you already know that? "STAY RIGHT ACCEPT TO PASS" is what the OPP and regionals should be enforcing, morning night and day. Now *that* would not only generate...

    Four motorcyclists charged for doing 192km/hr on the 404

    Great synopsis. Years ago, I was buying a house and got life insurance for the mortgage. IIRC, the only identified high risk activity that would nul and void the policy in case of accidental death, was motorcycle racing.

    First and last time I'll ever let someone else change my oil

    This technique is quite common for some Guzzis that have the oil filter up in the engine/oil pan, as the twin vibrations may back them right off. IIRC they don't need the safety wire, as the worm gear drive housing will jam up against the engine to stop any spinning. The idea of oiling the...

    Triumph 675 Triples

    FIFY. No, they probably are not. Yes they probably do. If you want one, get it, and learn to live with it. Same can be said for all brands, regardless of where their parent company is headquartered. If you want reliability above all, buy a Corolla.

    How to make a stunt driving charge even worse - Mallorytown

    Annnnd, according to the definition YOU provided: "...which is not part of a state's formal armed forces" "Uncheck". The police are part of the state's formal armed forces, but are not the army/navy/airforce. Actually, you just can't admit you're wrong. There is paramilitary, and military...

    How to make a stunt driving charge even worse - Mallorytown

    The police are *not* a *paramilitary force* even though they may be armed to the teeth and some may have militaristic attitudes like some rent a cops do as well. Don't confuse weapons with intent. Are hunters and gun collectors paramilitary forces because they have guns and ammo and some may...

    How to make a stunt driving charge even worse - Mallorytown

    Nice try, but the police are not a miltary force, para or otherwise. If you've been to other countries where there are paramilitary forces, like Mexico or Colombia for example, then you didn't understand what's going on there with/between para-military forces, and government forces, and local...

    18 Things You Can Do on a Cruiser but no on a Sportbike

    I hear what you're saying and think lying about it, or managing the truth or access to the truth like China and Iran and North Korea do, does change perceived and experienced realities, that's why spin Dr's and "revisionists" and dictators do what they do. Just as western media "Manufactures...

    18 Things You Can Do on a Cruiser but no on a Sportbike

    I would agree that wearing the Japanese Imperial flag is as ignorant as wearing a swaztika or the confederate flag...or symbols of them...and makes the wearer look like an effing idiot, but, even veterans might say wars were fought for freedom, even for buttwipes that wear such symbols of...

    18 Things You Can Do on a Cruiser but no on a Sportbike

    1. Inexcusable in hind site, but, it supposedly saved 1 million lives to force a Japanese surrender as opposed to an all out invasion of Japanese held territories. 2. Napalm was intended to be a deforesting agent, not an unusually cruel civilian killer. The Viet Cong hid behind civilians. 3...

    VICTORY RACING AT ISLE OF MAN TT ZERO - Victory Motorcycles

    If you would have read my posts a little closer, you would not have jumpred the the conclusion that I was speaking about flags. I was speaking about that Irish rider's helmet *evoking* the conferate flag, not *being* a confederate flag. Paint a German flag on your helmet, that's fine. I ride...

    VICTORY RACING AT ISLE OF MAN TT ZERO - Victory Motorcycles

    That's the type of thing I'm talking about: research in labs, not marketing on race courses, is where the furtue of e-vehicles lie. The current lithium ion batteriers are a dead end. Sure, they may make them better over time, but it's not enough to make them a worthwhile alternative to ICE...

    Motorcycle thief goes down big time

    Not really. I didn't read anywhere what the A stands for, so really, you're just jumping to conclusions. Unless we actually know what the A stands for, it's all conjecture and speculation, because unless we have the facts, then we really don't know what we don't know. I mean it could stand for...

    New '16 ZX10R Expected

    Yes, somewhere in China, plans are being developed to create a new, florescent, Kawi-green, line of stick-on plastic Mohawks for Icon helmets. Some will have spikes, while others will feature bristles. They will totally rock!!

    VICTORY RACING AT ISLE OF MAN TT ZERO - Victory Motorcycles

    The current battery technology no matter how much experimented with will not take E bikes to the promised land: 150-200 mile range with a fullcharge without a reduction in power, and 10 minutes full recharge. They’re using lithium ion batteries, like in my power drill. BFD. The future for...

    VICTORY RACING AT ISLE OF MAN TT ZERO - Victory Motorcycles

    Electric bikes seem easy. Look how many new E bikes are out there compared to new ICE bikes and you'll see what I mean. What's so challenging? It's a battery an electric motor and a chassis. Even HD, the supposed poster child for low technology has one. There's no way the current battery...

    20) Riding them is as challenging and exciting as riding your couch so cruisers won't scare you and virtually anybody can ride one, unlike sport bikes that take higher degrees of skill to ride and are exciting to ride which means they are dangerous since they cause their riders to want go fast...
