The car ends up using a...

    Bike Warm up

    hehe my 90 FZR600 wont even get out of its own way until its properly warmed up. Runs like utter garbage until its good and warm. Partly due to the carbs being out of sync, but big part that its carbed in the first place. Hopefully getting them synced friday will shorten my warm up time

    Advice for visually impared (or people who want more perphreal vision)

    Mirrors were bought at Canadian Tire (caledonia fwiw). I think they were 5$ or so. Under 10$ for sure. I have been blind in my left eye since I was 13 (lost it in 1991 in freak accident playing baseball). Suck, but adapted. 13 years with 2 eyes. nearly 21 with only 1.. Nice to know im not...

    Parking

    park in a normal spot just like a regular car. I'd stay further back in the spot (so people see the rear tire closer to the lane and not fly into a spot expecting it empty and wrecking your bike). bigger question I have, also on parking is : kickstand vs Asphalt or gravel/stone driveways...
