    Asinine article on Toronto Star

    http://www.wheels.ca/Columns/article/800121 So this guy, with no proper training, takes a GSX-R 750 and a Ducati Diavel to the track, without proper gear, to "try riding out", and turns out to be scared out of his pants. Way to advocate safe riding in the media.

    Left hand on thigh.... why?

    Mostly I was refering to "good core". <flexes jacked bi's>

    Left hand on thigh.... why?

    Yup, that's probably me too. I often like to post, run to the kitchen to get my popcorn, come back to the computer and sit waiting for responses. And yeah, what makes you think I'm in my 20s? I happen to be much older and just have good core and arm muscles. :P

    Left hand on thigh.... why?

    Haha, it's not a complaint, just an observation. Plus it's fun reading the comments when I'm bored. As for video I tend to believe that unless I'm a hot chick with a huge rack in a bikini I shouldn't be featured in an instructional video.

    Left hand on thigh.... why?

    I see it all the time, but I could never understand it. Even on my CBR for a couple of hours in traffic or on highway I don't feel any fatigue keeping my hands on the handlebars. Keeping one hand away from the handlebar just seems dangerous as it really inflates your reaction time... Why do...

    Honda CBR 125 2008/2010?

    Bikes go through a lot less year-to-year changes, and the 08-10 are basically the same model type. Like C-Note says, who knows what abuse the 11100km one has been through, since these 125s are beginner bikes. Go with the lower mileage one, though it seems kinda suspicious that there's only...

    Stock vs. Brand Name vs. Custom Exhaust?

    One functional use of slip-ons is that carbon fiber cans often weight much less than stock cans, 7-10lbs in some cases. But I admit vanity, I like the look of my Yoshi CF more than the stock one, and it sounds good. To each his own, as to whether it's worth the cost or not.

    Selfish bike parking

    Exactly like this one, but even closer and he was at an angle in towards my bike

    Selfish bike parking

    Riding down to Duncan at Adelaide this morning I saw a row of bikes with one and a half space at the end, so I did the sensible thing and parked MY bike at the post to allow for one whole space left for the next guy. Coming back to the bike at the end of the day, I find a <insert profanity> old...

    GSXR-600, CBR-600 or YZF-R6 - Comparisons and Differences

    There are probably newer ones, but this one came up first when I googled "600cc supersport stock dyno graph": http://www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/2008-supersport-shootout-cbr600rr-vs-daytona-675-vs-zx6r-vs-r6-vs-gsxr600-82371.html

    Bull-it Vectran Jeans – better than Kevlar!

    Going to add some of my experience with these jeans as well. Picked up a pair from Royal last week as I've been looking for something slightly protective to wear when not in my overpants. I liked the fact that Bull-It jeans don't have visible stitching on the front panels like other riding...

    ok, which brand of kevlar jeans offers the best protection

    Just bought a pair of BullIt jeans from Royal. Was going to go with Sartso but apparently their slim style jeans got messed up in manufacturing and are on extended back order. Rider's Choice only have the standard straight cuts and they're hella loose fit, makes my *** look huge. :snorting...

    No one will insure me... help :(

    Option 1, wait till tickets clear up Option 2, stop riding, sell your bike Option 3, pick up and move to BC where insurance scams the government instead of the people

    Riding Style Questions (lane splitting/filtering and speeding)

    I often see people open the driver side door at traffic lights to spit (nasty habit btw). Imagine if you happen to be filtering through. BAM!! Same as trying to filter through the right at intersections and impatient cars that swerve out to turn right instead, etc. I prefer to waste a few...

    DON'T DO IT!! The STI is fast, but no where as fun as the bike!

    Seating position at a turn question

    Leaning with your butt off the bike to make a left turn is like drifting a car to make a left turn. Wholly unnecessary.

    Husband and wife bikers

    Wife doesn't mind that I ride, but not likely to pick up the sport herself, she enjoys driving my WRX STI instead. :) She does want to try 2UP though, just ordered her a helmet.

    Has this season's number of accidents and deaths been normal?

    Seems to be about the same as other years. Interesting observation I have, though, is that every year there are plenty more bikes on the road in May than August and after... Right around the time when I see more "part-out/parts for sale" posts in the parts forum. ;)
