    Recommend me a bike

    CBR500. Comfy, strong enough, reliable, cheap on gas, cheap insurance, ABS (I assume you commute in rain), faired.

    CSBK at CTMP August 14-16

    I was going to suggest "safety recall" stickers for authenticity.

    CSBK at CTMP August 14-16

    It's a very slow parade lap and last year people lined up over an hour to get on the track and were not allowed out. Not missing anything. Without BMW, superbike weekend would not exist.

    The CTMP website is horrible. Something you would see in the 90s.

    I think my bike died? Strange problems

    You blew the stator. Take off the stator cover (other side from clutch), it should be obvious. When you replace the stator, test the rectifier/regulator, it's probably failed and fried the stator. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=346018 All you need is a multimeter to test the...

    Recommend me a bike

    What kind of commute? Highway? You can buy Ninja 650s for cheap, or Fz06, which are still better than the cheaper FZs.

    First and last time I'll ever let someone else change my oil

    It can happen if the gasket seat on the motor is clean and they put on the new filter without a film of oil on the new filter neoprene gasket. The gasket cements onto the alloy.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    There is a whole Ponzi scheme going around on vintage two strokes and there is a guy who has been trying to sell an Wolf RGV gamma for $20K for years. People are trying to force a speculation market, and for Yamaha RZ500s, it seems to be working. People seem to forget the whole point of two...

    How Do Motorcycles Lean So Far Without Tipping Over?

    Well that was awful. I guess wheels and engines don't have gyroscopic forces at pseudo-science magazines. The force pointing downward can affect lean angle depends on the weight of the testicles.

    MotoGP 2015

    It's definitely close enough to go every year, but, if you really want to get the atmosphere of MotoGP, go to Mugello, where you realize the Pope is the #2 religious figure in Italy. But the bucket list tops out at the Isle of Man in June.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    These are collectible and cool. But I don't see $9K for a 28 hp bike.

    It's worth $1900 with original finish.

    Went to Etobicoke Sail on the bike today

    I'd mess with your head and get a guy that looks just like you in the same clothes to hop on the bike.

    Motorcycle child harness

    When you do have kids you'll cringe at what some parents do with their kid's safety because "nuthin happened when I did this as a kid".

    Does Honda still sell the CBR125 in Canada?

    BMW sales have skyrocketed while reliability has plummeted in the last decade. Like Harley, they've proven that quality has little to do with sales when you have brand recognition. So of course they will make a Kymco and stick a BMW badge on it and charge 30% more.

    Does Honda still sell the CBR125 in Canada?

    You can't "bore out" an engine to twice displacement. Smaller Japanese bikes are already made in South Asia, India, it's not possible to make money with Japanese labor any more.

    "adjustable lowering link" = cheap eBay Chinese drag links that snap.

    EBR gone again

    What a bizarre interview, full of hyperbole and confidence ('murica!), but no actual statement about a plan. Again, over and over and over about what an awesome guy Buell is, big genius, etc. etc. but no one is buying what he's selling. In the end, it's still about trying to sell >$20,000...
