    Car vs. Bike Road Rage (hint: the car wins)

    Me thinks there is more to this story. The bike is brake checking the car, 'nuff said. http://www.break.com/video/car-plows-into-motorcycle-on-dash-cam-2491693

    Got rear-ended 2.0

    You mention that both times you were hit you were stopped , not stopping. When stopped do you shift into neutral and chill or are you covering the brake/ activating the rear brake light? Glad to hear you're ok.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    To the guy (and his missus) riding the V-Strom 1000 at the end of the Niagara Parkway near Chippawa this evening, PAY ATTENTION! To summarize, I'm riding with this rider behind me, I signal and slow to turn left on Chippawa Parkway and he isn't paying attention and nearly kills us both. I...

    Motorcycle MX trailer carrier disadvantages?

    Keep in mind that you could get a ticket for obstructed plate if it sits quite close to the car. You may have to relocate depending on your vehicle.

    Custom Exhaust for Ducati Monster.

    I have no personal experience with Ducati but lots with Kijiji, perhaps the exhaust in the following ad? http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-motorcycle-parts-accessories-Ducati-Parts-For-Sale-W0QQAdIdZ489301152 I bet you could offer $500 and get it given that retail at the liked...

    looking for a used tow vehicle

    Careful with Subarus in the 4-5K range. Alot of them have headgasket issues that can get very costly. There is a reason why the value drops significantly from 1999 - 2003. That being said, I have an 03 forester that serves well as a tow vehicle. My main complaint is the road noise caused by the...

    Crappy Parker's Thread

    I think you need to setup a cheap step stool on each side of the car where it overhangs the sidewalk. Then put a sign up to encourage people to just walk over the hood rather than go around.... -Adam

    I guess some people are just gifted on two wheels...

    If the weather is reasonable, its a great race to get back into it. The start is long enough that the main packs are pretty strung out by the time you hit single track. The trail riding itself is pretty straightforward, the rutted ATV sections in Welland typically catch a few pedals. If you...

    I guess some people are just gifted on two wheels...

    The Lake to lake course is about a 65 - 35 mix generally of hardpack double track / bike path to single track. This year would have been a bit different as the rain made some of the sections in Welland incrediably muddy. The course generally favours people with flat-out power. Alot of past...

    Stripped bolt on fairing - can't do an oil change - suggestions?

    You will have to give us a description of what kind of fastener it is, and what type of access you have to it. If the shoulder of the bolt is accessible, just clamp some vice-grips onto the side and spin it out. From my experience, the vice-grip branded locking pliers are much better at this...

    1997 blackbird poor idle, running rough on 3 or less cylinders.

    Could you use dielectric grease on the caps to help ensure good connection? You mention "new to you", is there old gas in the tank? As per the thread below on CBRXX, coils may be the culprit and may react differently at operating temperature...

    Quiet helmet recommendations?

    No first-hand experience with module unfortuantely, but wind noise and fit seem to go hand-in-hand in my experience. Reivews aside, do ensure that the fit of the helmet is as good as possible...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Last night, highway 6 & 401: Me: Honda CBR1100XX with high-viz jacket and luggage. You: Honda Goldwing towing an MX bike (CR250?) on a single beam trailer... just fantastic! Also saw a ton of riders up in Elmira. Adam

    Safety Motorcycle

    Everytime I've been there Ted has gone above and beyond with the bikes that required a safety. In one case he adjusted head bearings and in the other he lubed the chain and cleaned up some wiring for no additional cost. Say what you will about his mobile enterprises, but he has been incrediably...

    m2x at Sheridan this weekend

    I think we need to develop some type of signal to identify GTAM members in these situations... how about some type of bird call? Questions asked with raised shocker signal? Suggstions?

    Pics of the RSV4 Factory after de-sticker, etc.

    I've had fantastic results using a hairdryer. It melts the glue and also helps keep the decals intact rather then tearing into smaller pieces.
