Not to hijack the thread . But a side question. Why would a new battery have to be charged? I have changed my car battery many times and never had to charge the new one. Just threw it and went. is there something different for motorcycles?

Well I ride BMW F650 so I hope not or I have other issues. :p Ya I sort of got my answer. Its not like he leaned the bike way over <shrug> <yawn>. I am sure someone was impressed. :confused:

I am a new rider and I saw something yesterday and I am looking for an explanation of what and why? I was coming off the 401 yesterday in my..ahem..minivan. A cruiser style motor bike blew past me on the ramp. As he took the very slight curve sparks flew from his right peg (note not a...

??? I am not eating with the bottoms of my feet so who cares? And anyways, if you smelled my feet after a day of being in shoes you would want to eat off the bottom of the shoe. ;) Love driving barefoot.

I am 44 and just got my license. I have heard about 50 people tell me I am going through a midlife crisis. Two thoughts on that: 1) I have always wanted a motorcycle. My wife asked me not to get one for the last 15 years. She must want me dead now because she finally gave in. She is still...

Man I flip up my shield so I get the full effect. Like heaven to me that smell. :o What?? It is...

You on a what I think was a cafe racer and a beat up helmet. Me on the BMW 650 with the day-glo jacket. The sweetest morning 401-DVP south ride ever. Got into 5th at Whites Road and never left that gear till I got off at Richmond Street. You kept on to the Gardiner. Did I mention the sweet...

Right but somewhere in the law it is written that once he attaches the other vehicle for the purposes of the law it becomes a single vehicle. Please don't make me look it up. :sad1: Really what this discussion is about is the law versus community. If you take the 401 as an example, the...

You are correct here about sitting in a vehicle drunk. You are considered in control of the motor vehicle even if you are "sleeping it off"> And this can lead to a drunk driving charge (this actually was confirmed by a court case of this exactly happening). There is a definite difference...

I have done this with about 75% success. I am polite to the officer. Find out what the ticket is. I offer to donate the amount of the ticket to any charity the officer names. It usually gets a chuckle and then the officer shrugs and says sure. (AND yes I always pay!!!) The only time it has...

BTW, I would phone your insurance company and talk to them. This will not be the first time they have seen your situation and will be able to sell you something for your requirements. It won't mean you have to start paying the whole insurance bill just because you get something for the 10...

No!!! There are two parts to what you are doing. One is buying a vehicle. All you need is the UVIP and Bill of Sale. Here is an example: I buy a bike from Mr. X. I give him cash (just the payment price). He takes his plate off the bike gives me the vehicle ownership portion of the...

I use one and it is alright. My first helmet so I am not sure if there is better out there. It is somewhat noisy but then I have my face in a 130 km/h wind. (Just joking honey I wasn't going that fast.) I just wore it for 8 hours, very comfortable. If I slow down I pop the visor up to get...

Finally realized it on the way to work this morning: Those drivers with the massive square rearview mirror add-ons. As soon as I look through the rearview mirror and see those I change lanes. Also any lady driving a Mercedes.
