    A noobs 1984 Magna rebuild

    Lubed the speedo/throttle cables today, and shortened a CB450 choke cable to replace the frayed and bent OEM enrichener cable. The OEM was about 3 feet long, new one is a few inches and smooth as silk. A few spider nests in there! Also put the reproduction decals on. I think I will order...

    Mind the soft pavement where you park. Doesn't take long

    I think I've successfully done it once on my bike, it's tough. I usually get off on the left side, hold the front brake and compress the forks, then pull back and stand on the center stand.

    Learning Curves - Markham

    Peter is great! I learned a few good things in my M1 exit. We had a 250 dirtbike, CBR300's, and CBR125's at my course in 2016

    Very close call today

    I pulled over, gave the guy a piece of my mind, and called 911. I was pretty shook up so I explained the situation, gave them all my information and she asked if I was staying there. I told her I wanted to get off the highway and she said no problem. Cops arrived a few minutes later according to...

    Very close call today

    I was inches away from being crushed between an F-150 and a Chevy Cruze on the 404 today around 5pm. Typical 404 northbound traffic, I was in the HOV lane riding pretty close to the line like I usually do. A man came up beside me and said he thinks the guy behind me is drunk, I unplugged my...

    Test riding before buying?

    When I bought my bike, wife and I drove up a couple hours after the ad was posted, brought my helmet jacket and gloves and talked about the bike a bit, told him I would have to test ride it if I were to buy it. Showed him a handful of hundreds and said "I'll leave my wife as collateral". He...

    Heat = more squids

    Always a full-face and gloves, usually a jacket unless I'm just going for a quick rip down the lake or around town. I have a 4 season Technic, generic leather, and Alpinestars mesh jackets I rotate between based on temps. My feet are super wide and no motorcycle boots fit me unless I go 300$+...

    Deck safety rail

    Hence the "not 100% to code" part. Only an hour or 2 if you've got some skills. 4' with a 10" sono tube would be much better, but that's 4 bags and a lot more work.

    Deck safety rail

    If you are handy, grab a 8" posthole digger (even the old manual kind will work), dig down 2' and put in a 4x4 post on the grass and fill with concrete, should only need 1 bag. Then grab a 2x4 and fudge cut the angles until you get it to connect (make the 3 1/2" side face up, not the 1 1/2"...

    Rental help needed - Landlord

    Wtf? Do you live in a compound with armed guards and a release the hounds button? What if your killer dog gets loose and mauls some small kid? If I were looking to rent and the LL told me that, I would bail instantly. Ol' Yeller that thing before it hurts someone. "Hey, rent my basement...
