    Walnut tree stains on fairings!

    I think after using the a clay bar (with some elbow grease) then bleach, I think I'll need something more heavy duty. Might swing by my local body shop to see what they say.

    Walnut tree stains on fairings!

    Thanks all. I tried lemon juice (without salt, of course), then the vinegar then bleach mixtures. Nothing still, but the bleach only sat for a few minutes. Will try longer this weekend.

    Walnut tree stains on fairings!

    I parked under a walnut tree and noticed a bunch of yellow and black stains all over the plastic fairings. I washed it with soap and a chamois, tried a Magic eraser, a plain white eraser, paint thinner, WD-40 and Mother's clay kit but it seems like a very deep stain in the clear coat. Any...

    Is this filtering?

    New rider but old bicycle rider. When you're riding on a 4 lane road (Bloor West, in my example), is it ok to share the lane with parked cars to pass cars on the inside lane? Is that considered filtering and therefore illegal? I'm not sure since bicyclist are allowed to do this.

    Overnight parking on street

    You need a parking permit and there is no fee for them. I have one clipped on to my bike cover for overnight street parking. Email pparking@toronto.ca to check if spots are available in your area.

    Appropriate warning from an appropriate username! The front and rear has buckles around the wheels and I bungee the middle.

    Cars keep bending my licence plate!

    I'm parking at a 45 out of fear that a 90 would make it easy for cars to tip it over, but I guess if a car wants to knock it over, it will regardless of the angle. Yes, the same lower left corner is bent towards the bike and there are scratches on the plate. Only 2/3 of the plate is supported at...

    Cars keep bending my licence plate!

    Hello all, I have on street parking on Lansdowne Ave -a very busy street. I am mindful of parking too close to cars but cars try to squeeze in any space available. I've had my bike for less than two weeks and my licence plate has been bent twice already! I can park on a less busy street but...

    Winter storage with SOAR?

    From what I've read on this forum and their website, they look like a solid outfit. Has anyone stored their bike with them?

    motorcycle dash cam

    I don't have my bike yet but have been looking at the Akaso V50, which can be removed when not in use -the big question is: has cam footage been successfully used in insurance claims, or have witness / police reports been enough?

    To chain or no to chain?

    I wasn't going to buy until 2020 but saw an ad on Insta (of all places!) that was ~$3k cheaper. Tack on crating, shipping and HST and I still come out ~$1,500 on top. *edit: had a buddy inspect it and it had 0 scratches and 0km.

    To chain or no to chain?

    I've looked online but not many options in Bloor west. Next step would be to knock on doors, I guess. Yes, I have good insurance through Rider's Plus and getting a new 2018 Vitpilen 401 from Alberta.

    To chain or no to chain?

    Hello all, My first bike is getting shipped in a few weeks and I've been looking around for anti-theft options. For sure, I'll be getting a grip lock, disc lock and cover. Since I only have on-street parking, do you also recommend a chain? There aren't many street sign posts on my street but if...
