Mods, feel free to move if this is not the right place. I picked up a Yamaha TT500 that I'm in the process of rebuilding. I always liked them, my uncle had one when I was a kid, and the price was right. The previous owner powder coated the frame and swing arm bright purple. It looks like a...

Thanks. I did try Flashfire and they were a little hesitant because of all the masking. I'll give Brightside a call.

I bought a 1982 GPz750 in the fall. It's looks rough but the engine only has 14k miles. I cleaned out the carbs and gas tank and it runs like a top. I did a leak down test and the top end seems really good. The only problem is that it does have the 2nd gear problem that needs to be fixed so it...

I see you are in Pickering. These guys provide cleaning services and are in Oshawa or Malvern. http://www.collinsautoparts.com/shop Clearly you don't want to hot tank aluminium :)

Thanks Delboy. Went to Manhattan Beach Post. Incredible. Very simple, very fresh and very light, even the skirt steak and I'm not a red meat fan.

Thanks Tricky and Delboy. Manhattan Beach it is, although The Warehouse does sound like fun. Appreciate all the feedback. Its more than I could have hoped for Mike

OK. I know this is a bit of a long shot and a very strange question but my wife and I are going to Maui for our 10th anniversary and Air Canada are having us stop over at LAX for the night. In all fairness to them they are paying for the hotel so they stepped up and did the right thing. It's a...

My previous bike was a DRZ400. I had the powerbomb, yosh, 3x3 and the FCR. I don't think there would be any point doing the carb if you are not doing the other mods. As stated above, shoot Eddie Sisneros and email. He was very helpful with mine, although I did buy the carb of him. Or join...

I'm an AST with the RCAF. The process we have to store tanks is to drain them, dry them, and hang a bag of desiccant inside. This has to be done for storage or shipping. When the tank is reinstalled it's just a matter of filling them. No gunk to flush out You can get similar stuff of eBay or...

+1 for Connery's. They did a bobber for a co worker. Not really my thing but the quality was amazing

DRPS have the video and have asked me not to post it to YouTube. Both the driver and his plates are easily identifiable. The spoke to me on Friday. They are considering if there is any action they can take. I would suspect a strongly worded letter. BTW. I log into this board maybe once a week.

I was at a friend’s house in Whitby. He lives on Brock just south of the 401 so I’m riding up Brock to get back on the highway to go into Toronto. There is a guy in front in a black Mazda with his wife and kids, we are in the right lane and there is a pickup in the left lane level with the...

I wouldn't worry about luggage space on a GS. I have an 800 and have 105 Litres in the bags and 45 Liters in the top box plus the tank bag. It's more than enough for both myself and my wife

RIP. No doubt he had the best of intentions at heart but I didn't really agree with his methods. Condolences to the family. No child should ever have to grow up without their parents.

+1 Hardwrkr13 Used the glass method many times. Very quick and accurate.

Thank you Sir. I also got good on road reviews over at ADV. I rode to Montana on a set of TKC80's and they were a little chunky on the slab. I've give the Avon's a go.

I've been using TCK80's lately but am planning a trip out east in late May and early June and was thinking about the Distanza's. Looking for a tire that's a little more highway friendly but might be up for a little bit of a little light off-roading. Thoughts? BTW. The bike is a F800GSA if it...

Couldn't agree more. Its probably the most beautiful spot I've been to in North America. The thing I found amazing is the sky, I guess there is a reason they call it Big Sky Country. When you look straight up its almost black, its like staring into space. I had to go to Malmstrom AFB in...

^^^ I think this is an excellent idea. Well done. I would be interested. Can someone explain the crowd funding part?

I'm sorry. I didn't want to start a pissing match. The reality is that it was bad under Harper, its probably a little worse under Trudeau. I think this is in general across all the services. The point of this post is that if you can help VETS either by pressuring Ottawa, Donating or...
