    I saw you...

    On a black ninja, DVP northbound Monday sept. 21 around 6ish. Pulled over by cop bike, were you lane splitting or shoulder riding? Haha no way speeding was possible in that gridlock. Thanks though, seeing that made me check my own urge to cut lanes ? Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    Just something for learning on

    I would take the motorcycle training course before deciding on a bike style. I took RTI and rode all the different types, including a cbr125 for my full second day. I already had a bike, luckily it was one I was comfy on. A friend took the same course and regretted buying a 250 cruiser before...

    Harley gets air on the sidewalk and hits a pole

    The crash part is awesome. I just don't get the mentality of these big groups though. Is it all just a big cry for attention? "Look at us on our motorbikes, we don't stop for lights and we take up the whole road plus the sidewalks, aren't we COOL??!??" Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    Yamaha Xj650 Carb/Valve/Service Reccommendations

    Check out xjbikes.com, I have been riding an xj650 maxim for 2 and a half years until last week when I bought a klr. Anyways, xjbikes.com literally has all the info you could need on resurrecting and maintaining an Xj. The gurus there really know their stuff Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    Strange "cooling down" sound cause?

    Its metal cooling down and contracting. Most vehicles make those pinging type noises after use. Probably mostly from your exhaust. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    Anybody have experience buying NON resistor plug caps?

    Can you enlighten me on this process? Seems like the easiest solution for me as all the places I've tried insist that non resistor caps don't exist. And I already have a bunch of resistor plugs so I don't want to have to order a bunch more online if I don't need to Sent from my SGH-I337M using...

    Anybody have experience buying NON resistor plug caps?

    Title says it all, I need some non resistor plug caps for my 1980 Yamaha maxim. Stock setup is resistor caps with non resistor plugs (BP7ES). Can't get those plugs in Canada, only BPR7ES so I need some non resistor caps to keep my resistance in my ignition lines correct. I'm finding it...

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Not necessarily, imagine bumper to bumper highway traffic, and imagine if people coming off a merge lane or an on ramp stopping as soon as the dotted line starts to try and merge, would start a massive backup in that lane as well no? It makes sense for mergers to ride the merge lane right to...

    First time at the Forks today

    Yeah, its a decent enough road but don't expect to be able to rip through it. Quite busy + cops often present. I ride through it sometimes in the AM on my way to work and it seems to be the best window for a quiet ride through. Much better roads basically all around it, just gotta find em ...

    Insurance for a Ducati?

    I believe TD gives discounts for people who have completed degrees or certifications that they are involved with. For example when I graduated U of G I got notice that U of G alumni get a certain discount with TD insurance. Probably the same idea for that PEO license he mentioned. Sent from my...

    Newly Licenced!

    My rate did not drop after one year with state farm so i switched to wawneesa. My rate basically halved for my second year of riding (got my m2 as soon as possible after m1 & course). Dropped about a third for my 3rd year (this summer). On a 650 from the start Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    Newly Licenced!

    OP, I was in a similar situation to you at 22. I got quoted around 4k or well over 4k from most places. Eventually found one at 3k to be my lowest. I was on a 650cc however (my dumb fault for buying before calling)...... just call around lots and youll hopefully find some varying rates
