    motorcycle trailer storage solution - my attempt

    These "hoists" are not running the 12 volt DC motors used in atv winches; they have 120 volt AC motors. But thanks for pointing out the obvious. I might have missed that fact if you hadn't pointed it out. Actually, the pulley does not double it's torque rating. Whether you lift 440 lbs in...

    Buying a dropped bike...

    I haven't been riding long and I don't know much about bikes. But I have a bit of common sense. When I see an ad for a bike for sale and see "Never been dropped" It instantly reminds of of seeing an add for a car with "Lady driven" on it. Funny thing is that actually are pretty much the same...

    motorcycle trailer storage solution - my attempt

    That would be a VERY bad idea. Those "hoists" are just ATV winches re-labeled as hoists. I would not trust those things to lift anything at all. Also, having the ceiling covered with drywall means that you actually have no idea what you're trusting to hold the weight of the trailer. If you have...

    National Post Article re Excessive Noise

    You're right, it wasn't a bad piece. It was a horrible, poorly written, incoherent piece of diatribe that isn't worth the hard drive space that it's stored on. It is nothing more than a cry-baby whining about the noise outside his condo. Don't get me wrong, I hate those retards rolling around...

    Motorcycle Safety

    Close, but not quite. If the previous owner had the vehicle registered as FIT, you CAN get plates without a safety certificate. Go to a service ontario location and bring the signed ownership and proof of insurance on the vehicle. They will transfer the vehicle to your name, provide you a...

    M1 Exit test - Is this cause for a fail ?

    I just did the course at Sheridan at the end of August. I went with my younger brother, he's 20 and I'm 30. We both had zero experience, ZERO, we wouldn't even have been able to start the damn things. I'll point out a few problems that I saw at the course and that I've read in this thread. Too...

    looking for GSX-R 600 insurance. 29 years old, decent record

    I'm 30, no tickets but one at fault accident in 2008. Still have my M1 (just serving the 60 day waiting period, passed the course already) and have only had my G since 2010. Just got insurance on a 2001 GSXR 600 for $642/year from Wawanesa, liability only. They would not take the bike on it's...

    RIP Sheridan motorcycle training

    Yes, the program is now finished. I was in the very last class held at sheridan. The instructors are setting up a course on their own; from my understanding, everything is lined up except for a location. One of the instructor did tell me that sheridan would put a link on their website to the new...
