Just had a look at AutoTrader UK & a 2014 ZX6R averages around just over £6000. Also looked on Kijiji & there's one 2014 on there for $10,200Cdn (reduced from $13,000). If you convert £6000 to Cdn its $12,100 so yea, there's a $1,900 difference but then you have shipping fees to get the bike to...

I check the exchange rate all the time, I have this argument all the time with my ex-wife who is still in the UK, but as someone else said earlier you will be earning £'s (not $Cdn) at that point if you are living there. If its a bike you are "attached" to you may feel its worth shipping over...

I'm from England, moved here 10 years ago so thought I'd mention a few points (which were valid when I left 10 years ago): - My UK bike license did not transfer to Ontario, only the car part was a direct transfer, I'm not sure if the same applies for you moving to the UK or not - If your bike...

If only TMP or Grand Bend would open the circuit for a Xmas Eve bash, its going to be warmer & sunnier than some of the fall track days I did. Wishfull thinking lol

As a newbie myself I'm loving this thread, lots of good information

Just finished repairing & painting the fairing. Front fork seals need replacing & a general front fork service. Send rear shock to be re-sprung for my weight & serviced. Replace front brake pads & service the callipers. Lots of little things like fitting a Dimple magnetic oil drain plug, tidying...

Yea Dave............mine might be just a tad loud, maybe a 160' extension cord will help keep the generator far enough away ha ha.

Re: What did you do to your Race/Track Bike today - 2015 Thx Dave, I'll try that

Re: What did you do to your Race/Track Bike today - 2015 Hmmm, I have no idea Jay, Started off as England flag but it looked a bit plain so I masked off the other areas as a take on the Union Jack, the areas that should be blue I painted black to transition it into the rest of the bike which is...

Re: What did you do to your Race/Track Bike today - 2015 Ahhhh. Wondered you giuys did it, would Flicr work as well?

I'm similar size to you Toast, 40lbs heavier maybe lol My problem is arthritic Rh knee that refuses to bend beyond a certain point so its size of the 125's as regards the amount of knee bend when you are sat one Hopefully Racer 5 might be at the show with a bike then I can sit on one & see how...

Re: What did you do to your Race/Track Bike today - 2015 Finished painting the fairing lowers in a nice visible scheme after my low side at GBM a while ago, been held together with duct tape since then lol Gotta love Canadian Tire rattle cans

So, as a complete newbie in 2015 I ran Dunlop Q3's front & rear on my old '91 ZX7 with stock front suspension & installed a used Penske 2 way shock I bought from Ebay on the rear. Set the sag as best as I could, front forks were at just under 30mm & I adjusted rear shock pre-load to give around...

Yea, I thought that was you mate :-) Sounds like you've moved forward nicely from that day - whereas I've moved forward a little more sedately ha ha. I know I need to improve in all areas but my corner entry speed is, in my opinion, my biggest weakness. The FAST school sounds good, as soon as...

Hey 'Nam, Don't want to hijack your thread but what did you think of the FAST school? I'm thinking of doing them in 2016, only done the Intro to Track day at TMP so far, not sure whether to go for the Racer 5 schools or FAST. My concern with Racer 5 is the room on the 125 bikes &...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice.

I currently have a ZX7 track bike & only ride on the track - I dont ride on the street. I'm now thinking of buying a dirt bike as I'd like to extend my riding season into the winter & used to have a dirt bike many years ago back home in England. I'd also like to start my 3 year old son off in...

I'm selling a complete set of 1991 ZX7 OEM bodywork: fairing upper, LH & RH fairing lowers & LH & RH seat cowls - all in excellent condition but the fairing upper has a small crack which is clearly identified in the Kijiji ad pictures - $300 for all items. Heres a link to the Kijiji ad...

I have Harrys Lap Timer on my iPhone 5S & tried using it this year by starting the app & then putting the phone in the pocket of my leathers but it didnt work that well at all. For 2016 I want to mount the iphone to the bike & I'm just wondering what bracket/fixture you all use to secure your...

Is there a particular brand of coolant that everyone uses? Will be draining the water & water wetter from my trusty old ZX7 track bike tonight & re-filling with antifreeze/coolant for the winter - was going to buy a name brand from Can Tire but wondering what everyone else is using?
