    where to get custom spacers made?

    I have used Richard Biggs in Guelph. An avid biker and racer, I had him machine a GSX-R wheel, spacers and brake to fit my FZR. I took him both wheels and asked him to make them interchangeable and he did the rest. http://www.sentex.net/~abiggs/kawasaki/index.html

    A 1985 Yamaha RZ500N was Found Still in Mint Condition

    I too had a 1986 RG500 bought new and to tell you the truth, the RZ500 wasn't all that highly regarded at the time. It was a little heavy and slow for what it was supposed to be and didn't handle all that well. It could be modified for much higher performance though. When the FZR's and the...

    Canada's Motorcycle

    Only one incident in many shipments. Issue was resolved quickly and professionally. Very good seller overall - I hope new ownership, or whatever is going on, doesn't spoil it.

    Oakville to Picton Cruise - Suggestions?

    You may want to Google Prince Edward County for some attractions but the "lake on the mountain" (or something like that) has great scenery and Sandbanks area too.

    Cheap New Dual Sports - Which One Would You Buy?

    I have a 2014 KLX250S and I have ridden the snowmobile trails in Muskoka with it many times. The trails are generally swamp-rock-repeat and the weight of the Kawasaki (or Honda or Yamaha WR-R) is definitely a hindrance. The suspension is just OK, but's road legal and dependable as can be. It's...

    Rear shock gas cylinder placement.

    The cylinder contains oil from the shock and nitrogen and these are separated by a floating piston. Orientation does not affect operation but as other have suggested, it may be for packaging reasons. Make sure that the hose isn't stressed in whatever position you end up with.

    They used to hold motocross races at the bottom of the hill - yeah, I'm old.

    School Bus Stopping at RailwayTracks

    I was reading the "Pedestrian Crossing" posts and it got me thinking of a rant - why is it that school buses are required to stop at railway crossings and open the door? I can only picture this as a knee-jerk political reaction to an accident in the fifties. Times have changed and if railway...

    CBR 600rr Running Hot on the Track

    It might be that the Honda has to run harder in order to keep up with those cool Yamahas.

    Carl Sorensen dies at Pikes Peak

    I freaked out going up that road in a car at 25 kms/hr. The nads needed to race a bike up the mountain at speed is truly impressive and the danger in doing so is clear. My respect goes to these gentlemen and my condolences to this rider's family. RIP.

    telematics so far no one gets discount

    Anyone who believes that the insurance companies have introduced telematics for the benefit of their customers is sadly mistaken - this is marketing and behavior management.

    Telematics - insurance-speak for "the data that we need to deny your claim".

    Well, I would expect a certain level of objectivity from him.

    Google Auto Insurance

    I would expect the insurance agents to vigorously defend the industry that supports them and so should you. Likewise, Bell and Rogers employees also think that our cell phone rates are fair.

    Google Auto Insurance

    You will be hard-pressed to find any data concerning the insurance industry that isn't provided by The Insurance Bureau of Canada, which of course is an association/lobby group supporting the initiatives of Canadian insurance companies.

    Does anyone know why Geico and Progressive do not come to Canada? It would seem to me that they have figured out a way to be profitable at this business.
