    The goat retires

    Pretty common for every racer / rider. Once you have a major injury you never go that fast again, assuming you didnt get brain damage. The physio I went through after breaking my back + a ton of other bones goes through my head every time I twist the throttle.

    Loud Pipes Save Lives

    Maybe not what the threads intended for but I wonder if my loud pipes actually save me from the wild life. I have the hot bodies shorty exhausts on my busa and yea, it sounds like a diesel freight train coming through. However I live in animal country where when I'm driving my truck I see deer...

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    At the end of the day it all depends on the rider and what you take away from track and street. Of the people I've met at track one could argue it gives them a superiority complex when it comes to going back to the street. "I can run Calabogie in 2:05 Im going to just whiz through this 507...

    Olympics

    Watched the 3 on 3 basketball yesterday and it was pretty abyssal; I've seen better pick up games at the YMCA. Womens boxing was also pretty sad. Windmilling eachother in the back of the head while clinched up - something I see my 6 year old nephew do. Like it was said previously I don't see...

    Why Millions Buy Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

    Can confirm. In and around Peterborough anyway I had seen so many sport bikes with under tail lights, stretched rears and retarded light up or furry dumb helmets. When asked if they ever ride or just pose here you get the usual scoff "yea bro, I wheelie and drag knees all the time!". Sorry but...

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    I never understood riding a motorcycle on the 401 to begin with. Whole highway is a death trap, including the Death Valley Parkway (DVP). Soon as I get on my bike I get the furthest away from population as possible. It's crazy the riders just trying to drag knees on the on and off ramps and lane...

    Need a new tattoo artist/studio, preferably east side GTA.

    I know Closed Casket in Ajax is good. I have no idea what the wait is to get in though.

    Whats the most kilometers you've seen on a motorcycle

    A lot of people always ask how many kms motorcycles are good for, especially when buying their first bike. As veteran riders know maintenance goes a long way, however the bits and pieces that go into bikes can withstand a lot of riding. My old man had a 1986 GSX-R 1100 that he bought brand new...

    What is good two-up tourer these days ?

    I'd second the concurs. Comfortable, tons of power and traveling space for 2.

    Being caught afterwards

    I was under the impression the whole cop not showing up to court so the tickets beat is no longer a thing. The crown prosecutor can go ahead with his notes and disclosure and can continue the court case on his own without the actual officer in question. Obviously in a case that needs a lot more...

    Hayabusa. 20 and out.

    Hope you get it, I hope to get one in the next 2 years or so. I've heard the riding stance isn't as aggressive, bars are higher and closer so you're not reaching as much. It was mocked pretty hard at the reveal but after people have had the chance to ride the bike its had a lot of praise. Some...

    Best sport touring bikes for long distance

    My old Busa (2000) which I still have for memorabilia has a heli bar on it, raising the bars a good 3-4 inches. Night and day on the bike. You can comfortably ride it all day coupled with a nice Corbin gel seat. With my new one I actually forgot how aggressive the stock stance is on it. Agreed...

    Best sport touring bikes for long distance

    Probably not the bike you're looking for at all, but the Hayabusa won the Iron Butt challenge this year. https://ironbutt.com/ibr2021/Final_Standings.html Pretty comfortable and sporty ride with a lot of custom modifications. Just cant offroad very good lol.

    Changes to the highway traffic act

    So....he thought he had a better chance escaping on foot rather than on a motorcycle 🤔

    Changes to the highway traffic act

    And as it's been said before, this just provokes more riders to run from the police. You make penalties steeper yet easier to get hammered by them - why the hell is anyone going to stop and face the roadside Judge Dredd.

    Tell me again why you need hyper-sport tires on the street?

    Might be confidence for some people. They feel better about leaning the bike over further if they have a super sport tire instead of a touring or dual compound tire. I don't mind paying money for something stickier just for the small peace of mind it offers.

    Any personal reviews on the Dunlop Sportmax Q3 plus?

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Finally got around to testing the psi. According to Dunlop for a Hayabusa 42 psi is recommended for both front and back. I checked my back tire and I was sitting at 30 psi and only 25 psi at the front. Pretty surprising I didnt check earlier but have just been so...

    Any personal reviews on the Dunlop Sportmax Q3 plus?

    Thanks for this. They are on a 2010 Hayabusa so I'll check out the numbers tomorrow morning.

    Any personal reviews on the Dunlop Sportmax Q3 plus?

    Thought the same when I got home from the ride. At work now but I'm going to check that tomorrow. Good reviews above, thanks guys. I've heard from other riders they are amazing. I ride quite spirited but havent had the confidence to really lay it over yet with these on due to the weird issues...
