You can often have the tires shipped to the shop. In my case, the online price was matched, and because they were ordered by the shop, I didn't have to pay a shipping fee. The tire change is almost always cheaper when you bring just the rims in, but you could ride the bike over to the shop...

They released a Pilot Street Radial for small displacement bikes a couple of summers ago (2013). I run 110/front and 130/rear (stock sizes) on my 08 250R. Excellent tire. I had Pro6 in Etobicoke offer to match prices I found on Canadasmotorcycle.com, and wicked cheap install when I just...

And that's the kicker in this situation. It's one thing to say the CEO of a prosperous company is doing a job worthy of getting paid so many hundred times more than the lowest labourer, but this clown jumped ship while their whole Canadian venture **** the bed! His reward for colossally...

Gives new meaning to the phrase "crotch rocket".

You're not going to gain that confidence by not riding it. May as well do the repairs, get the temp sticker, and ride it over. Find a buddy to tag along in their car, leading you to the shop and ease the stress of the first ride.

That's what I'm talkin'bout. Take the HOV lane, allow only self-driving cars in there, and watch how quickly that traffic moves. A speed of 150km/h could be sustained by vehicles at only a cars length from each other. The last car in the train would do exactly what the first car does...

I love riding just as much as the next person - scratch that, MORE than the next person (so what, wanna fight aboudit?), but public roads are simply not what they used to be. Mass populations need to be able to move around and in between dense and distant cities. Everyone owning and driving...

Bring on the true saviour, auto-driving cars. Providing humans with tools to make them safer only serves to heal the symptoms, not address the root of the problem. Take control out of the hands of the meat sack behind the wheel, and you won't need so many damn preventative measures. You can...

My experience has been similar, having had my optometrist mail a form to the MTO indicating that my vision is acceptable to drive without the vision condition on my license. I initially received the condition when I took the eye test some years back, and did pickup glasses to help with some...

Well, it appears that racing up north is a rather exclusive club. As a newly licensed competitor hoping to invest my time and money for the wonderful pleasure of racing bikes in the next many years, I like the idea that changes are being made to bring the separate clubs together. I only have a...

I live and work downtown. My commute is 20-30 minutes one way, either by foot or TTC. I am strong believer in living close to work. My work hours are inconsistent and the ability to make an appearance with a 10 minute cab ride is an asset. I don't own a car and my lifestyle is accommodating...

Everything you've said here is spot on with what many people have to deal with. However, there is one thing which makes me cringe: "taking the GO train, at two hours each way and $600 a month". 4 hours, everyday, lost. Stuck on a cramped, unreliable train. That's 20 hours in a work week...

Also, be sure to consider the price of admission, especially if you bring a guest. Two of you walking in (and perhaps a bite to eat) can make that $50 off pretty moot.

And this is why we have the discussion to establish social norms. Everyone will have an opinion on what is considered polite, naturally. The goal is to ensure we collectively have an understanding of what that definition is. You do not believe telling a woman that she has a nice *** is...

Being electric through and through, there is complete control over the linear power at every instance. Having that predictable power curve makes it that much simpler to tailor the output.

I am inclined to agree with you, however the primary focus shouldn't be about taking Tory to task. We should focus the issue on the angle of encouraging alternative means of transportation, and how implementing paid parking for two-wheeled motors is a step in the opposite direction. Perhaps...

The only real race advantage being provided is the additional fuel capacity, which shows in the brutal acceleration and straight-line speed of the GP14. The soft tire available is not up to the task of making use of the Ducati power for a full 45 minute race while still having a chance at the...

Awesome, thanks for sharing :). Excellent day on the Saturday, Racer5 put on an excellent show. Will absolutely be back at the track, it's some wicked fun.

Being pushed about in the wind is going to happen, but something to keep in mind is that having a firm grip on the bars is different than having weight on the bars. Resting your weight on the bars through you arms and wrists creates unintentional steering input as your body is pushed around due...

I live on the 5th floor (4th story) of a condo in the Bathurst/Lakeshore area - I hear EVERYTHING, especially with the only gas station for blocks right around the corner. A wonderful assortment of loud cars, slow and fast, big and small. An orchestra of bikes, rippin' and roaring up and down...
