    Which is easier?

    Most people who drive cars or ride motorcycles aren't very good on either. When it comes to typical law abiding citizens, it's fairly straightforward to drive or ride. Hard to screw up unless you are not paying attention. On the other hand, racing cars and bikes is equally as challenging. Both...

    Any Yamaha FJ 09 owners?

    Yeah, I'd have to lower the 690 big time. I fit on the Super Tenere no problem. Typical slide to front on seat (lowest part) and I could get most of both feet down. I'm also the guy who tippies on his R6 in a proper riding position, but I slide forward, balls to tank and touch no issue. I was...

    Any Yamaha FJ 09 owners?

    Didn't get the chance to try out the KTM Adventure. Was too tall. If there is a lower height model like you said, I can pop by GP Bikes and get on one no problem. The model I seen was way, way, way too tall. You know, I'm vertically challenged at 5'9 and a half ;) lol. Got some time to really...

    Tips for first time 'tail of the dragon' rider

    I'm going down June 28th to July 4th, with the lady. I-75 all the way down to Knoxville day 1... 14 hour drive, obviously a bit more with stops.. Increases the time spent down there!

    Any Yamaha FJ 09 owners?

    I've always wanted the KTM Adventure since they had the 990... The 1190 is a wonderful bike.... But for those who aren't tall enough... The Super T or the Beamer GS1200 are the way to go. The GS is the best ADV bike, but for the price and the reliability of a Jap bike.... The Super T competes...

    Any Yamaha FJ 09 owners?

    Check out the Super Tenere ES.... Much better bike for ADV touring/riding. The FJ is the poor man's Super T. A positive note about the FJ is that it's got the FZ 09's lovely 3 cyl monster between your legs.

    Need to Find Rental for M2 Exit Test, my CBR125 won't cut it

    I had a 2011... The fuel injected model.. Tail wind behind me and downhill on the 427-409 to 401... had it touch 148 on the speedo.... I could hold 120-130 on the highway with no wind in a full tuck. I rode two up at over 100km/H on it pinned all the way for multiple hours. There's no reason you...

    Insane Toronto Weather - Summer SS Tires

    When did motorcycles come with specific tires for the time of year? You either run touring tires, sport tires, knobbies or slicks. Brb, putting on my motorcycle specific snow tires because I like to make things up! This is weird weather for a lot of NEW Canadians lol... Welcome to Canada, we...

    2 tickets in one shot.

    My dad was a Toronto Police officer in 31 division (Jane and Finch) for 35 years. I've talked to my fair share of cops over the years and was respectful, yet firm in the fact that I know that there is NO three second rule. He was a traffic guy, not a real cop lol. Real enough to hand out some...

    R6 street handling?

    Pretty aggressive for a new member. OP said he was upgrading from an ER6n. Calm down Nancy.

    Yamaha Service

    DO NOT GO TO VOS.... They sold my friend a new R6 Raven Edition (it was a few years old). It was actually used and from the US. The miles that were on it magically weren't on the dash. Cluster must have been swapped and the clutch was fried.... They pull some shady sh*t. The owner is a pain to...

    BC 299 km/h suspect not guilty.

    I only go to timmies in my convertible sports car to go through the drive-thru, because it gets ouu's and ahh's from the minimum wage employees. I've never stood over a fryer. If you want to play the money game, you've lost. Please continue pulling things out of your ***, it's quite funny...

    Has anyone tried NanoTips for their gloves?

    I guess some people have better memories and a sense of direction than others lol. Shouldn't be playing with the GPS while riding or at a light. Pull over and take your one glove off, you lazy sack of potatoes.

    BC 299 km/h suspect not guilty.

    I said I noticed it. Sorry fork adjustment police, I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to notice something without getting into trouble lol.

    How to wheelie

    Definitely coming down WAY TOO HARD if you're blowing seals.... I would highly suggest that you stop trying them if you're going through seals.... You'll end up going splat... Seriously. Then you'll need a lot of new parts and gear lol. Give it more throttle if you're going to keep trying...
