    Traffic Light - Weight Sensors & Motorcycles

    I bought a device called a green light trigger...didn't seem to make any difference...even after attaching it to the centrestand and lowering the stand to the tar snake. I either make a right turn/ u turn or wait a while and run the light when the road is clear. Depends on the location

    HWY 35 North from 401 to Huntsville

    Not that I think I can outdo the famous ShaneKingsley :D but my route is a little shorter and has very little multilane hwy and the roads should not be too challenging. I started at a Tim Hortons in Orangeville that you might know already. At the least it is infinitely better than 401 - 35. I...

    BMW owners movement!

    Just got my bike back from Budd's. It was in for service and the rear axle recall. Very pleased with John and the shop...not cheap but very professional. He was more than fair...pointed out a few better quality hoses and gaskets that are now available and called me to ask if I would like to have...

    What work did you do on your bike today?

    Headlight was out so while replacing I finally got around to installing the Flash to Pass unit....now I can open my garage door by flashing my lights. Also got out to check my recently installed rear shock ( got revalved and new spring over the winter ) Felt good on River Road but I was taking...

Lake across the street...restaurant onsite...I even went for the luxury room...whirlpool tub..fireplace etc. Just wish I hadn't been by myself..kind of a waste :rolleyes: Reasonably priced as well...I just paid more for a...

    Muskoka Roads

    Took 141 today from 69 to Rosseau...no issues...also took Tally Ho ( Swords road ) up to 518 and then over to Parry Sound. In pretty good shape...not much sand anywhere. Some other roads up north have some pretty bad potholes...also spotted a few deer...take it easy.

    To the idiot who wouldn't move out of the way of my ambulance....

    I always pull over when I hear a siren or see flashing lights...what I hate is when they pull over as well and park behind me :(

    Storage for enclosed trailer?

    Up around Barrie the cheapest I've found is $1 per foot per month. I have a 24' V nose car trailer. Toronto will be more. Actually looking around for another place...the one I have is a mud hole till middle of summer.

    EPA acknowledges that ethanol damages engines

    I started avoiding ethanol a few years ago when a lot of our race cars using street fuel had problems with their fuel cells. The foam inside breaks down and plugs the fuel systems. These fuel tanks start at around $1200. I also like how the same people that admit 15% ethanol will void your...

    BMW F800S anyone have any experience

    I wouldn't be impressed by a dealer that didn't have time to install a battery when you had already booked the ride. It takes 5 mins to install. Maybe you should check out that one in Whitby at GP bikes..if they let you demo it..you could compare that chugging feeling. Like I mentioned on the...

    Day trip suggestions

    I used to use the Nexus bridge in Niagara Falls all the time in my cage.....took longer to get my coffee at home in the drive thru than go into the US. Other advantage is you can prefill out a sheet for all the stuff you are importing ( no vehicles of course ) and when you drive back into Ont...

    Shipping 2 bikes to Phoenix AZ.

    Dealt with TFX many years ago when I was crewing for a Ferrari series racing in Texas....very professional. They are at the bike show sometimes and I got a price a year or 2 ago to take my BMW from my place right to my friend in San Jose....it was around $1000 if I recall correctly. I was...

    California Superbike School

    Glad I wasn't there to hear that....wouldn't have been able to concentrate after...:) Next time maybe I'll just spectate :rolleyes: Although it seems like inconsistent advice to me...I mean a Kate Upton would be in a totally different position than a Kiera Knightly :confused: Need to do more...

    BMW F800S anyone have any experience

    I bought a 2008 BMW F800ST new and love it. The ST is the same as the S except for fairing lowers and higher bars. I switched my bars to the lower S type for a more sporting position. Changed the can to an aftermarket and it sounds quite nice...you just have to buy the right pipe. Can't remember...

    California Superbike School

    I had a similar problem and they worked extra with me on the lean bike...instructor kept telling me to rotate my hips and pretend I was trying to pee on the apex....guess they didn't give you that advice..did they :confused:

    I couldn't afford the 2 day school so I take a one day and combine it with a vacation....done it 3 times already...got to ride Infinion, Streets of Willow and Barbour. Got a buddy in California who usually sees me at least once every winter.

    California Superbike School

    I like that...putting me before your husband :D Come to think of it there aren't that many ladies who can say it all started with me:lmao: btw I think he was referring to Kristi Martel...luckily she wasn't in my group so I could pay attention to my instructor but there were a few distracting...
