Thanks guys; that prescription thing might be an option. Always had wicked vision, but 37 has me squinting sometimes to read fine print. So while I get reading glasses covered by benefits, might as well get something for night riding. appreciate the advice.

I've got a pair of amber and clear saftey glasses for the night -- the $22 ones that every bike shop has on a cardboard stand up display on the counter. But neither really helps with glare at night. I also bought a pair at the bike show that tints with the sun. That pair is worse than the...

I lived in Brampton for 8 years or so. I haven't seen worse driving on a consistent basis in any satellite city of the toronto area. My mother still lives there and every time I visit her my wife and I can't wait to get the hell out of there; and also leave perplexed as to why my mom still...

Sux dude. Life imitates art or vice versa: reminds me of that seen in the movie "One Week"

Monnex dropped their prices 3? years ago. I remember calling to get a quote (our cars and home are with them) on my cruiser. $2400 -- with no tickets. Riders plus charged me $1100. Over 3 years with them, it went down to nine hundred and change. Monnex cold called me one day and asked...

05 midnight custom. . . .hmmmm. . . first thing to go was the seat (corbin). Then the pipes (HK strippers; coated black). Then added a hypercharger. Then replaced hypercharger with pod kit. aftermarket bars, pegs, some spikes here and there, fender struts, new signals, think that's about it...

I'm with the family in n. falls for the weekend and even though I heard it sucked, it was something to do so I went. It was truly the worst show I have been to. Outside there were enough vendors to keep me occupied for a whole 10 minutes. Inside, there were some vendors.... And that's it...

Well. I'd like to ride down with people, but there's no way I could keep up with those bikes of Tron you dudes are riding. BUT! I'll be checking this out, so if you see a brown dude on a black cruiser with spikes all over the tins, who looks 37 but seems 27 otherwise, say hi.

Agreed. . .I hate Suzuki of Newmarket. Consistently the worst dealership I've seen. Too many friends who've had too many bad experiences. I remember at the January show my buddy was buying a C50 from them. . . one of their guys started talking to my buddy and was telling him how this C50...

Hit & miss for me at Kahuna. Parts was useless. Ordered a crush gasket. 1.50 part; they said it would be 2 weeks. They ordered it without payment (so cheap, what does it matter?). 2.5 weeks later, got it off the shelf at the Superstore. Kahuna parts called me two months later to inform me...

First, Snow City, GP and Edge Performance have always been courteous and helpful to me; so I keep putting cash in their pockets. Good shops have (for the most part) consistently good reviews. Second, I don't really get the stance of "I won't name this shop that was terrible". . .you might...

Re: New Liskeard ON "Bikers Reunion" & Sault Ste. Marie's "Ride for Sight" I was thinking about trekking up to New Liskeard for it. . .don't know if it's worth it in terms of size/things to do, etc. Their website and posters make it appear like it's largely a show up, look at people's bikes...

I always try to empathize with another's perspective. Okay I've tried. There is no debate -- this guy is a totally insecure pussy, who it seems has more love & respect for the ride than his girl. . . .which indicates he might prefer fantasizing about a machine rather than anyone else...

So many potential strategies for vandalism deterrence/retaliation have been suggested on this site. I recall parking the bike in a puddle of water in the garage and (I forget how he planned to do it) then somehow electriying the water. Not sure if it would work though, got C's in science...

Hi I just read your old post from 2010 about SF allowing you to switch the policy to the second bike. . .I've never heard of this -- any bad experiences with them doing this? Do you just make the call and they switch it on the spot? Thanks in advance, only thing holding back the second bike is...

Re: Vstar 650 vs 1100[UPDATE: Bought 1100, Pics of bike attached] Congratulations! I still dig my 05 custom. Anytime you wanna share pavement, PM.

Okay, granted it's a pose. But c'mon. . .the power ranger in the full getup riding the litre bike; all with matching colour schemes etc. . .that's not a pose? Is he honestly riding to not get noticed on that thing in that outfit? Personally, I wear a lot of what you listed, sans the vest...

I'm in Newmarket, 30 something if it matters; just want to ride and get to meet new people. was thinking of something like a trek to rousseau or something or maybe a visit to Algonquin? Was also thinking of a trek to Penn. for a couple, maybe three days.

Don't know if anything came of this thread, but I'm always looking for good people to share pavement with.

I've got an 05 1100, and it's great. I think that's the last year they made them with carbs -- perhaps it was 06 or something. Anyway, I've known some people who love the 650s, I've known far more who got sick of it in 6 months to a year, becuase of the lax power. I forget the stock HP, but...
