    Fell Today in Kitchener

    yep...what he said... too much crap on city streets...save the leaning for the boonies. Brake going in smooth going out and resist the urge to giv'er til youre pretty much upright again.. Learned the hard way....

    Earplugs, In-Ear Headphones or Other?

    i just sing to myself...my voice inside full face helmet is freakin' amazing! I know i shouldnt knock something without trying it but one of the aspects i love most about riding is that sweet sound of the motor on my litreSV

    Almost Hit - Safety Remider

    good move... glad you made it out ok. Its always a good idea as well to watch any pedestrian walk signals...as soon as it says dont walk, its very soon you'll get the yellow. I pulse the rear brake to hopefully alert the cage behind that i plan on stopping on the yellow...even if i do end up...

    jacket size

    bought a new textile jacket online and i usually wear in M in any JoeRocket jackets I've had. But this new one feels a bit snug but i dont have to suck gut in to zip it up or anything! Am i better off with it this way? My thinking is that getting a larger size will have the padding shifting...

    Tank bag = scratched tank?

    as other have said, for sure keep an eye on the magnets -- especially if your tank bag has magnets only to keep it on, as they are way stronger than a bag with a strap. I made the mistake of setting my bag down on the shoulder of the road [while i tried to pick bike up after very slow speed...

    Motocross track near Ancaster - 30 years ago

    wow...that brings back memories for this old fart too. I remember going to Copetown back in the days of TWO 40 minutes plus 2 laps motos - Roger DeCoster on his Suzuki and Heike Mikkola on his Husqy battled it all day long. That place was awesome, or maybe memory just keeps the good stuff! I...

    First bike... Ninja 500, Ninja 650, or SV650. Any advice or input?

    one question to ask is what type of riding you will be doing for the most part. If its mostly around town, then any of them wont bore you. If you think you'll be doing lots of riding on highways [posted 80], all 3 will be fine but if you'll be riding 2 up then might want to think about the...

    For all you Erik Buell fans

    I'm pretty sure one of these if being ridden in the AMA superbike class this year... at least in the recent round from Mid-Ohio Raceway. I think one of the biggest complaints with previous Buells was the unreliability of the engines. Now he's paired up with Rotax might be a different story...

    7k km round trip trip south westernish, where would you go?

    in reply to the question asking what type of rock formations those are: i'm pretty sure they are called "hoodoos" and are caused by wind erosion resulting in the weird shapes. If anyone has ever visited Calgary and driven down to the dinosaur area, there's lots of those hoodoos there as well.
