    How do police know if you are insured?

    Fixed. 15 years of going to the MoT office to fill in the paperwork, never once asked to see the actual insurance slip I received from the insurance company. I could have just as easily made up a number or used an old one or switched a couple of numbers around ... scary. I've never...

    1981 Kawasaki LTD 550 - parts and such?

    As it turns out the bike is no longer available. Someone scooped it up before I did. *shrug* Just as well I guess. Too many projects on the go for yet another money pit. lol Thanks anyways to all! :)

    1981 Kawasaki LTD 550 - parts and such?

    I have the opportunity to get a 1981 Kawasaki LTD 550 for cheap. I'm told "it needs work, but runs. Need to boost it to start it, but it runs and rides for sure. And it needs a seat". That, right now, is all I know. (ok, that and I know the missus doesn't want me getting it lol) For those that...

    how many people wear back protectors?

    One more Dianese Wave "strap on" (because it sounds wrong ;) ). I have a custom suit made by I.M. Leather and when I spoke with Ivan I said I wanted a pocket for a smaller one "just in case" (no extra cost so why not?). To this day, 4 years of wearing that same suit, I have NEVER used that...

    What did everyone buy at the show this weekend?

    Air Miles ftw! *hi5* I was back today and grabbed a new pair of gloves. It's sssooooooo nice to find golves with fingers long enough for my long-azz digits. Grabbed a ring for the missus, too. ;) BIG thanks to Pete and Stephan (sp?) at Pete's Superbikes for the rubber! Merci, mon amis. What...

    What's Your Temperature Cut-Off For Riding?

    I was out tonight between 10 - 11 pm. According to The Weather Network it's 8*C tonight here in Brampton. I dress smart so I wear layers, for sure, but I have new gloves and confirmed tonight that they're not that great for cold weather. :( Like really not that great at all. Also on a naked bike...

    Helmet shape comparison please - Shark RSF3 to ... ?

    Well this has been very educational ... Apparently when I went digging into my jacket for ear plugs the morning I bought my helmet I inadvertently grabbed an old pair of plugs. REEEAAAAALLLL old, like brand new package from 2 YEARS ago old!!!!!! Silly me never bothered to empty old plugs from...

    Helmet shape comparison please - Shark RSF3 to ... ?

    I just picked up a Shark RSF3 helmet (Medium). Fits GREAT! Best fit i've had on my head yet. :) Unfortunately it sounds like I have my head up the Space Shuttle's business end when i'm above 70 kph. :o Absolutely unacceptable. (yes, I wear ear plugs - always have, always will) SO, what other...

    YYYYYYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!! Time for another bike! Tall rider needs mod input please!

    lol hey guys! Well, problem solved. We now own a CB919 and are finishing up a deal with a CB599 early next week. Big'n'lil Hornets. :p On rides we do together we can ride one bike out, swap and ride the other bike back. The change-up in bikes mid-ride would be a great way to break up monotony...

    YYYYYYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!! Time for another bike! Tall rider needs mod input please!

    They don't, at least not as far as I can see. What I was saying, in that quote, was that I suspect that my initial conclusion was wrong. I first thought my problems were just a result of me knee angle, but after sitting on so many bikes and noticing peg widths (and tank widths for that matter)...
