    Drive Test/whinge

    I haven't taken my M test yet, so I tried to book it online today. After I filled in my details, it sent me a confirmation e-mail which I need to click in order to continue. However, I get DNS lookup errors when I try to click it. When I telnet to another server and try the same thing, i get...

    What about theft? Isn't that covered by the comprehensive?

    Funny, I thought the vt1100 was a v-twin.

    Thinking of upgrading to a bigger motorcycle

    This is what I usually do when I start dreaming about a new bike. I use the TD site. If I ever do decide to drop the hammer, I will call my agent and try to confirm the quote before I close the deal.

    Going to darkside

    Somebody already mentioned Indian. It is a shame that Victory is shutting down. The Cross Roads and Cross Country both look like nice touring bikes. You can usually find them used for much less than a comparable HD.

    Buying first toolset

    Unless you have a centre stand, you will soon find that you need a stand/jack/hoist for your bike in order to keep it vertical and/or get the wheels off the ground I am in the market for something like that, but I haven't decided specifically what to get yet

    Woman freaks out in walk in demanding a white doctor

    That's not news, that's clickbait. She made a scene and disgraced herself, but I don't think that is anything new. Stuff like that can happen anywhere anytime.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    https://www.vespatorontowest.com/vehicles/vespa/collectors-editions/ I was curious, so I checked out another local vespa dealer online. The Vespa 946 seems to be some kind of collector's edition. The cheapest model was $8,446, marked down from $9,946; according to the listing, there are only...

    Where to get tires mounted?

    I haven't dealt with Snow City, but if you want an east end shop, you could give them a call. I doubt that they would turn away work (snowcity.com) I bought tires and had them mounted with Glen at Flying Squirrel last year. Gerrard/Carlaw area. Nice guy Corsa Meccanica said they'd be happy...

    Rotella T6 on sale at TSC stores

    Do a lot of people use that stuff? I've only ever heard one opinion, and it was negative. I might be interested in hearing some other viewpoints

    A new standard in tourers?

    If it doesn't come with satellite TV as a standard feature, that is a deal breaker right there! I've always been curious about the Royal Star Venture. It has/had a 1.3L water-cooled V4 that I assume was borrowed from the V-Max. You see a lot of used ones on Kijiji, but never too expensive...

    He's got competition: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/markham-york-region/1985-yamaha-fz750-1300obo/1271317262 Similar bike. Lower mileage, one year newer and 40% cheaper. No topbox, though

    Fz-07

    You can call your broker and ask for a quote for any bike you are thinking of buying. Some companies have websites that will do the same thing for you.

    New rider looking to finesse cruising in 1st gear and 2nd

    A quick search on Google.com returned a couple of XR750s in the same price range, US dollars. This one caught my eye: http://silodrome.com/harley-xr-750-robbie-knievel/

    Any Honda Rebel 500's at Honda demo rides

    If you are ready to buy, don't wait for a demo day. I have to admit that I have never walked into a dealership and asked for a demo ride. However, I have heard that you can do that at a lot of places.
