    What do you guys do when the bike is in the shop

    I'm in hamilton and I've got a 500 that you can borrow... it happens to be a super sketchy RZ500 two-stroke that I'm working on it. At some points, either 1, 2, 3 or 4 cyclinders could work... It also has no body work mounted, and would be considered by some to be a death-trap... On second...

    Does having GoPro (or similar) mounts lower resale value?

    You're intending on trading it in to a dealer and are worried about maximizing the value they give? Thats seems counter-intuitive to me.

    Riding in first?

    Perhaps you should avoid driving to work. Generally this would Put you in higher traffic and also creates some stress as you have a schedule. Maybe heading out after work for short rides in familiar areas would be best for the first week or two.

    Princess auto (not the best quality I know), actually sell a "sportbike bolt kit", that comes in a multi-compartment plastic box. It seems to have a bunch of metric bolts, washers etc. Might be a good start.

    Good 2-stroke mechanic in Hamilton area? For an RZ500

    I managed to score a 1985 RZ500 ($1900) yesterday off Kijiji. The bike had the engine rebuild a couple of years ago by someone in Hamilton. Currently, it looks like it may need some carb work and odds & ends. I was wondering if there were any recommendations for some with 2-stroke experience...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I spend more time on kijiji than almost any human on the planet, and this is the worst POS I have ever seen. Make sure you contrast the look he was going for (pic 1) to what you get for $20k (pics 2 and on)...

    ninja 250 headlights wont come on

    I would eliminate the HIDs as a failure point by throwing the conventional bulbs back in. Hopefully, the stock wiring harness / plugs are intact. If the stock lights work, it would stand to reason that the ballast or a connection associated with your HIDs are faulty.

    Looking at down sizing bike

    I can sympathize with the OP, I'm on a CBR1100XX and looking at downgrading to a VFR800. Its just a bit too easy to settle into a 160 kmh/r cruising speed.

    Make sure that you have someone competent size the furnace for you. Alot of hvac guys who are old school will "go on the big side to be safe". A modern two speed or variable speed furnace will work best when sized appropriately. Its a big investment and basing the size of your existing unit...

    Costco has a Kirkland signature branded performance golf shirt that's passable in the office, I think they're like $14. Its the dry-fit material and they don't wrinkle.

    Another Baby Left in a Car.

    Lets not forget this was in a home depot parking lot. I mean, if you can't find something to break a window there, you're pretty hopeless.
