    December riders - careful out there...

    I got out for a quick ride yesterday....wasn't bad at all. Unfortunately, I think that may be it until spring. I filled up and added stabilizer on my way home.

    did anyone ride today?

    Took my new ride out today on her maiden voyage. Managed to get in 140k. A little cool, but it was nice to get out. Loving the bike! It's going to be a LONG winter.

    Any opinions on the Yamaha FZ8?

    Thanks. It's a new 2012 red and white. Just like the one you had, except without all of the nice mods. Those may take a little time. ($$$$)

    Any opinions on the Yamaha FZ8?

    Thanks for all of your responses. I pulled the trigger this morning and called Brantford Motorcycles, gave them a credit card number for a deposit and then went down and picked it up this afternoon. I'll give a thumbs up to Brantford Motorcycles. We negotiated a trade-in value for my old bike...

    Any opinions on the Yamaha FZ8?

    What is the deal with the clutch? Is it a very narrow range of engagement?

    Any opinions on the Yamaha FZ8?

    I really don't ride that hard. I'm an older guy, and I've really attached to my license...I'd hate to lose it. To be honest, I've never really felt a lack of performance from my GSX650F. I'd just like to try something different. Nice looking bike BTW. The exhaust is a huge improvement over the...

    Any opinions on the Yamaha FZ8?

    Thanks for the replies. I prefer the fz8 to the fz1 because of its nakedness. I'm also extremely attracted to the deals on the leftover 2012s. I know the 2013 is supposed to have fully adjustable suspension. I'm not sure if that's worth the extra money for the type of riding I do.

    Any opinions on the Yamaha FZ8?

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about upgrading from my GSX650F. It's been a great bike, but I think it may be time to try something different. I really like the upright seating position, so I don't think I'm looking for an SS at all. The naked look has always appealed to me and I've noticed some good...

    Hey Seabreez, if you want to meet me in Port Perry, I'd love to join you. I can meet you at Tim's or anywhere you want. We can have a coffee, or I can be geared up and ready to ride when you pass through.

    Registering a home built trailer

    I don't think I've ever seen a home built trailer that wasn't OVER-engineered. They tend to be much better built than some of the pieces of crap that you can buy. The problem I see with unsafe trailers is a complete lack of maintenance. There are people that have a 25 year old trailer that they...

    Auto mechanics - need your advice.

    I'm a millwright. (25+ yrs) If I had a do-over, I'd get into HVAC. As long as people live in Canada, they're going to need heating and air conditioning.

    Fall colors in Algonquin Park

    The Esso station sounds like a good meet up spot. I'm going to have to wait until the morning to check the weather before I commit. I'll post here in the morning if I'm going.
