    OPP travelling opposite direction.. radar?

    Hey, I was going through Algonquin highway 60 and Unmarked OPP was going in the opposite direction. I was with a buddy who was about 3 car lengths in front of me. OPP passes both of us, and turns around and lights his cherries up. Pulls me over, says I was going 70 over (it is a 80 zone). Says...

    Extra High RPM on Ninja 250

    While we're on this topic..is it okay for a ninja to be redlined for so long? 90% of my riding is highway and I'm usually cruising at 140-150..which puts me about 1000 rpm from redline. Are these little quarter liters fine with living at high revs?

    How long before a 250 gets boring?

    BUY USED. I got my mint condition Ninja 250 with less than 10k km's on it for $3500. DONT overpay, because you will want to upgrade within a few weeks. I'm at a point where it's not "boring", but every time I ride it I wish for more power.

    UPS : if I don't pay what happens

    I know a guy who loved trying every scam in the book. Not sure how much much truth there is to this, but he'd tell me he could order somethign under a slightly different name, and when UPS guy comes, get the package, say you can pay with credit card. You write down number of a Visa Gift Card or...

    I have a feeling a rider going 65 km/hr in a 60 zone would count as a "traffic infraction"

    Police seek motorcyclist who fled from Lawrence Avenue crash

    Yea, if my buddy hits a car, and I clip him and go down.. as long as everyone is okay I would run. Buddy wouldnt even rat on me because if it were my fault I'd obviously get even with him later on..without the ramifications of tickets/insurance/at fault accident on record etc. Me hitting a...

    Jacket alterations.. non-leather

    I found some places that are known for doing good jobs altering leather riding jackets, but how about for cloth/mesh? I have a Shift Air-Avenger that I wanted to be altered a bit..I was gonna go to a random tailor in the mall and get it done, (he said it would be $30), but I'm worried about the...

    Motorcycle Swap, tax implications?

    This is pretty easily done. On a car, they have a "blue book value" on which you pay the tax on when you buy it, regardless of how much you declare that you paid for it. Bikes are different, they dont have a "blue book value", so they rely on what you tell them you paid. You CAN say $1. They...
