    Motorcycle abuse

    I saw many bikes this spring, not one had any evidence of ever having bled the brakes or replaced the coolant over 8 years. Forums obsess about oil changes, Rotella, oil analysis , full synth, blah,blah,blah but it seems few people understand what keeping the same brake fluid and coolant will...

    Motorcycle abuse

    It's just typical kijidiot language that people cut and paste from other ads, like, "no time to ride" "dropped in driveway by previous owner" "custom paint" "too many upgrades"

    1992 Kawa ZX6D - worth buying?

    $800 is just the start, assuming you do all the work yourself. At that age the wiring and electrical will be a PITA to live with. To really assess a bike that era, you need to remove all the fairings. For $2K, look for a newer 600 with high mileage -these are the bargains in the GTA because...

    Gsx s1000?

    I don't think anyone makes a bike to match the Ninja 1000 for actual sport touring when all aspects are considered.

    Gsx s1000?

    More upright, wider, higher bars, lower pegs. Better for city riding, or suburbia. The wind issue on highway is something you just get used to, as it is a motorcycle. The nakes tend to retune the motors for less peak HP, but more torque. They also typically drop into a cheaper insurance bracket...

    Markham police looking for motorcyclist doing 180 in a 60

    "Clocked at 180" = Cop was eating donut and has no idea how fast he was going. Clocked? They don't "clock". "Over the Civic Holiday weekend, the force charged 18 drivers with impaired driving, four drivers with dangerous driving, and two drivers with stunt driving." 18 drunk drivers, 2...

    Which GPS system do you use aside from your phone

    Well... Avoid Google Maps to reduce data. Battery drain is a chronic iPhone problem. I keep my phone in my jacket and use audio for directions. No visual distractions, use Waze and you get real time traffic and safety warning, including police locations, which makes it better than any dedicated GPS.

    Texting kills another rider

    Re: Testing kills another rider 'murica. Freedumb. I can't even figure out how to possibly text and ride, never mind what could possibly be so important. It's gotten out of control in the US. At least we have harsh distraction laws in Ontario, but many states don't and people watch Netflix...

    Gsx s1000?

    It's not in the same class as a Ninja 1000, maybe a Z1000. "Fully adjustable suspension" is a bit of a crock, Any suspension is only adjustable within a certain weight range, after that, it requires springs and other upgrades, and Japanese bikes are notorious for great engines with weak...

    Exhaust questions

    Aftermarket exhausts for street are the most expensive way possible to achieve nothing or make your bike run worse. The noise is great if you want to give the OPP a real heads up to get the radar guns ready. I have yet to see any slipon power increase claims actually verified, and all of the...

    Oh Deer.. I went down..

    It's crazy. I drove through PA early one morning a few summers ago and the road had deer carcasses everywhere. Never seen anything like it, nothing close to that in Ontario.

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

    This was news two weeks ago, they will be HOT lanes. The whole point of the 3+ HOV was never the PanAm traffic, it was about piloting HOT lanes. And they did it in the summer when most voters are not around. Someone's got to pay for the Pan Am games. I wish there was an alternative, but...

    Upgrading to R3 from a Ninja 250?

    It's not hard to install higher bars on a SS that uses clipons and tune to taste. The clipons actually work well on highways. A huge part of discomfort is people resting weight on their wrists and hands, whereas the upper body should be supported by the legs gripping the tank, which typically...

    2 arrested in motorcycle theft ring.

    They need to figure out who is scoping the bikes, and how they get in and out, but it definitely has to do with these BS security guys. They could easily plant a few R6s around and figure it out.
