    2023 Honda CL500 ?

    For anybody looking for their first show floor new bike thats already a rider, yeah, this would never appear on a Scrambler cross-shop list, but its right up the alley for a mid life crisis/urban hipster new rider. Considering the CB 500 family has an MSRP under $8k, where as a Ducati...

    2023 Honda CL500 ?

    As both being former owners of a bike with that engine, we know its the perfect poser/urban rider engine. Sips fuel, easily enough pep for highway, doesn't overheat as fast as some other options in grid lock, super simple maintenance. Its actually perfect if you put it in the lens of...

    Motorcycle Dry Bags

    I had to edit my post. Didn't realize it was the D68 linked and not the D78. The 68's are the bag on bag, but the 78 is bag and saddles. They were selling a D108 at one point which was the 4 bags combined.

    Motorcycle Dry Bags

    I have this but similiar. The D78 DrySpec D78 Waterproof Motorcycle DryBag Modular Packing System in Black Grey & Orange | 78L Total . I've put the set through several rain storms including one where my boots were so water logged, it took a week for the water in the soles to dry out. All the...

    No more license stickers…

    Outside of registering and plating a vehicle, there's nothing at an SO that is faster or more convenient than online options. The only reason why I don't want them gone today is if my wallet gets stolen. Replacing government ID without a local SO would be such a pain in the ass with the...

    Motul 5100 vs 7100

    You bring up a good point about price increases. I was really hoping the LiquidMoly was going to be good cause you can also buy that in 20L quantities. Unfortunately the results so far don't give me the confidence to do that.

    Motul 5100 vs 7100

    On my previous bike (Honda CB500F), I mostly used Motul 5100 but I put 7100 through it once. I did not notice a difference. For my current, a KTM 790 Duke, the dealer invoiced 5100 for the first oil change. The quickshifter got very 'chonky' at less than 4k. Put Motul 7100 in it since and no...

    KTM 890 adventure sport tourer

    VR Gaming

    Since the screens in a VR goggle are really close to your eyes, the resolution needs to be high, and its rendered twice (once for each eye). If the refresh rate and frame rate are too low, that's instant nausea. This all just goes to say you need the fastest video card out there, something...

    Eleven year old girl dies tobogganing.

    In most countries in the world, 'this' stuff happens all the time but outside of immediate family, nobody cares cause its so frequent. We're just one of several countries that try to prevent it. I really hope there is no settlement and the lawsuit is thrown out. Personal tragedies should not...

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    The Rebel 300 is using the CBR300R engine, just like the Rebel 500 is using the CBR500R engine. Those engines have become very reliable outside the first MY with the faulty crankshaft. But we can agree the root cause is user error and not a manufacturing and warranty issue.

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    I'm still not even quite sure what the described problem is by the op. If the clutch is toast at 13k, and the lever free play needed to be adjusted at the dealership 4 times, I have no idea what it could be besides user error. The nut on the engine is probably referring to the coarse clutch...

    Economical Insurance

    If you were a policy holder when they originally decided to demutualize back in 2015.

    Private sale and test rides

    Deposit or collateral, the exact amount up to you but at least enough to deter theft. You also tend to get an idea of the type of person you are dealing with pretty quickly.

    Economical Insurance

    The flipside to the statement is that one of the cheaper insurance companies is no longer a mutual company and now just another ontario insurance company with soon to rise rates. Cashed my cheque but we'll see how long before they take it all back.

    Windshield wipers

    Another vote for Bosch Icons. Also, Rain-x is pretty good too. edit: not the rain-x wipers but the chemical treatment.

    Airbag Suit/Vest for Track

    It was PROTEKSPORT at Bogie with Pro6. They let you try it on for a session and rent it for the day iirc. I did not try it.

    Looking to get USB charger installed

    Quadlock has a 30% black friday sale going. It's still hugely expensive compared to ebay options, but I love it. I have the wireless charger on a vibration damper. Rather than going straight to the battery, I have a 12v socket wired into my accessory circuit (factory heated grips) and a 12v...
