    Suspension Question

    Watch the video. If a rider is beyond the weight range of the factory suspension, it's not adjustable. This is a problem in small bikes, they spring them for small riders or riders in markets that typically have smaller people (South Asia), they don't usually spring the bikes for heavier...

    http://www.thespec.com/news-story/5771161-burlington-e-bike-rider-hit-by-car-still-in-hospital/ This is a $6000 electric mountain bike, they are being sold for "off -road use only" but they have enough power to propel lazy a-holes to 60km/hr. They are causing big problems on mountain bike...

    Difference in motorcycles

    Depends how much mechanical experience you have. If you just want to ride, get a newer 300 or 250 with EFI. If you want to learn about a bike's mechanicals and generally how bikes work, get a cheaper, older 250 with carbs. They sold millions of those bikes, and parts are everywhere and lots...

    Motorcycle abuse

    But even when they pay, they may or may not get what they are paying for.

    Suspension Question

    or, 1. Buy a monkey 2. Blindfold it 3. Make a wall chart of suspension settings 4. train monkey to throw darts at the chart. There is only one spring preload setting for any rider's weight, the OP is just guessing with random spring preload. Not all bikes will have the proper suspensions for...

    These E-Bikes stealing the show!

    They are scooters, they should be just classified as scooters. Easy. In the late 70s during the gas crisis, everybody ran out and bought scooters (no license, insurance) and the carnage was insane until they regulated them like motorcycles.

    These E-Bikes stealing the show!

    If you don't like the nanny state, move to Florida. This is Canada, and when ****tards do stupid things on ebikes or GSXRs, its the taxpayer that has to pay for someone to wipe their ***** for the next 30 years.

    Premier Wynne is such a Gem.......

    We tried that. They lied and were as corrupt as Red and Blue. Heard much from Horvath about the 15% insurance thing? Noooope. She gets her money from the same trough. The truth is, politics is where chronic underachievers and corrupt people migrate to. There are no longer any real options...

    Premier Wynne is such a Gem.......

    The same boomers who basically paid nothing for schooling, nothing for housing, and almost no taxes. But, they vote, and millennials don't vote. But that's ok, because those $300K condos will be worth $6M in 20 years because all graphs extrapolate forever.

    Motorcycle abuse

    It takes an hour in total, it's a ripoff, unless they throw in a happy ending. But then again, if people don't want to learn to do things or get their finger nails dirty, then they pay.

    Markham police looking for motorcyclist doing 180 in a 60

    We know it was unlikely to be 180 km/hr (a perfect round number), just like all those charges of 151km/hr for stunt driving. How fast a person was going is entirely up to what the cop says, with no other proof required.

    new rider, opinion on a Honda CB300FA

    The 650F is a pretty easy bike to ride. Nothing like a sports 600 class bike. I could see someone starting on that bike if it weren't for the weight. 300 to 650 makes sense.

    Motorcycle abuse

    It takes well over an hour to get the fairings on and off that bike for a filter and oil change. There is really no excuse for a poor design like that, but $300 is still a ripoff.

    Gsx s1000?

    Suzuki makes great bikes. The problem is that they don't have a marketing budget like Yamaha, so the media doesn't gush on about them like they do with MTs. They still make the best twin 650 engine in motorcycling...but the media gushes over "new" parallel twins and gimmicks. The SFV650 could...

    Premier Wynne is such a Gem.......

    Wynne is my response to people who say government would be better with more women and minorities in power. The turds float in Ontario, regardless of age, sex, color or orientation.

    Premier Wynne is such a Gem.......

    No, you won't. Ontario ping-pongs between two parties that are pretty indistinguishable from each other. We have 1/3 of voters that will vote for any idiot with a blue sign, 1/3 vote for any idiot with a red sign, and 1/3 that swing the vote, but only about half show up to vote, so 1/6 of...
