    Alarms

    I've had a Scorpio SR-i900R in each of my own bikes as well as my girlfriend's. Here's an excerpt from another thread with my thoughts on the devices: That all said, I've had a pretty solid experience with the Scorpio and would continue using their brand on any future motorcycles I may own...

    Monday Meet Up for Ice Cream, Dessert, and Sweets! 5.0

    Tim Horton's has actually ended their partnership with Cold Stone, so most if not all locations will be disappearing in the near future. The one at KC is trying to sell off their counter/slab thing, lol.

    Question about winter riding

    I started riding in March of 2010, when it was still fairly chilly out for a new rider -- and have ridden through every winter since, though only if there was very little to no snow/ice etc present in the area. That said, I generally would stick to my own area (Scarborough) and to roads I...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Tonight just after 8:30PM, heading down Spadina then along the Gardiner: You: Female rider on a pink BMW sport-tourer w/sidebags and backpack. Nice bike & setup! Me: On my '05 V-Strom, oddly intrigued at seeing a pink BMW. lol. I'm assuming custom paint job?? Always good to see fellow...

    WHo has mounted a Stebbel??

    Have one on my V-Strom, and it is probably one of the best purchases I've made for the bike. Has definitely helped to prevent more than a few potential situations...

    Kid has full M - what does he need to go to a GM thanks

    In relation to the G1/G-class expiring, I have read/heard that if your G-class license expires (i.e. if I were to never get my G2 or G in the 5-year period I have to get my full M), you actually lose your M-class along with it. This makes it sound like you MUST also obtain a full G license in...

    Lightweight Batteries!

    +1 for the Ballistic, been using one since last winter in my V-Strom after having trouble starting in cooler weather with my old battery. Even in -25C, the battery would (eventually) crank; takes a few tries but that's the intended behaviour. It's a good idea to get one size larger than...

    Parking close to Harbourfront Centre?

    +1, this is my favourite (actually, just about the ONLY) spot I feel comfortable parking at in the downtown area. I frequently see other bikes parked there, some on a regular basis. Great late at night when you feel like getting out for a walk by the water.

    Using the 407 for free

    The obvious answer to this question, is to do a badass burnout while simultaneously popping an epic wheelie, but just to be sure, make sure you're also spinning the bike like some kind of futuristic ninja-ballerina doing a pirouette while also throwing ninja-stars at all 360 degrees, all at...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Last night around 9:10, northbound on the DVP in the passing lane; I was about 100-150' behind you for probably a good 10 minutes, and concerned for your safety: You were on what *may* have been a Ninja with aftermarket exhaust, I really couldn't tell. You had no working tail-light, and were...

    Who stocks Garmin Zumo in the GTA ?

    RadioWorld.ca is definitely where to go. My friend and I both got our Zumo 660s from there.

    GoPro mount lacations

    For the past 3 years, I've always had a camera mounted to the right side of my helmet. Got pulled over for it a week or so back for the first time ever, no ticket fortunately as the cop was also a rider and personally supports helmet cams for security/insurance, but he had to warn me that it's...

    Scala G9 - Volume too low?

    I'm using the wired mic as opposed to the boom, but it's positioned about as well as I can get it in my helmet. Not sure how much it'd be "recognizing" wind noise where it is, but I wear an Icon Variant currently, and without the chin curtain installed it definitely gets some gusts up the front...

    Scala G9 - Volume too low?

    Yeah, with the speaker placement in mind, my first guess was that maybe the G9 has some sort of volume level limiter in place, but unless the AGC itself does that, doesn't seem to be the case. With the G4, I usually had to have my volume around the 50-75% range as full blast was sometimes way...

    Scala G9 - Volume too low?

    Hey all, Just got a Scala G9 to replace my G4 unit for my birthday, and the device is great so far, except I'm finding the volume to be way too low at times, compared to the G4. I'm using the same G9 headset module I was using with the G4 (bought it when I got my new helmet) and now that I'm...

    Low idle RPM, sputtering -- "Fixed" after refilling gas?

    The bike's a 2005 model, got about 54k on it now if I haven't already mentioned. Discovered something which neither myself nor the mechanic were aware of: The filter we cleaned, was not the main fuel pump filter -- but rather the low-pressure "pre-filter." The V-Strom's fuel pump has another...

    Low idle RPM, sputtering -- "Fixed" after refilling gas?

    Well here we go again. Took the bike to my local shop last week to have the tank drained, and the fuel pump/filter examined. They did so, found only a tiny bit of dirt in the screen/teabag-looking filter thing, which was removed and sprayed clean. They looked inside the tank and said it...

    Monday July 8th - careful out there

    I ride in rain all the time, as my bike is my only vehicle. The rain won't hurt your bike, but yes, you should be lubing the chain after riding in it. Water sitting on the chain can and will eventually lead to rust, and deterioration of the chain as a result. I've got a few links on my chain...
