right on! two wheeler solidarity still alive! None of this no UJM, no Harley, etc. All for one and one for all. Or something like that. Changed the oil, lubed the chain, cleaned and waxed, took the battery out, all the end of last season. Bought a tender mid November (didn't mean for that...

cheers hedo, yeah most of it looks like its just overpriced mainly. which it is. im personally not a fan of music in the helmet, like to hear my bike! but from a nerd perspective it is great technology and a good starting point for future innovations. as far as helmets go, comfort and...

neigh problem, removed it, will look up the old thread interested to read peoples thoughts on it

reatracted sue to duplicate thread, will go and find the old one to find out peoples thoughts Cheers

haha no one get too excited about the upcoming show! I have seen more enthusiasm at a cattle auction :)

Haters might hate, but IF there is a risk, and in my situation there is a risk. Why take it. If I had a larger 4x4 truck or a large sized SUV, and I was carrying a 350-400 pound bike then I would be confident. But my bike is 550pounds with oil and fuel in it. And I have a medium sized 4x4 SUV...

Awesome gsxr guy thanks a lot. Look forward to the pics! And you can keep the extra 0 haha

Yes I think I am inclined more towards a trailer as I mentioned. I do a good bit of home DIY and it will come in handy in other times. I wont be looking to spend more than 1000 as it being my first trailer. I am happy to buy a trailer that needs work that I can do myself. Very nice trailer...

haha Why didn't you mention this earlier haha. I am curious about that. Based on the photos there are a lot of larger bikes being attached to similar size SUV's. Will enquire about that.

thanks Jericho will certainly do. yeah scuba steve took a look on that site, didnt see any photos of failed hitches but seen a tonne of photos with bikes attached to hitch carriers, they were all trial bikes, didnt see one sports/naked bike on the hitch carrier

Thanks for all the responses. Based on everything I read Im not going to persue a hitch carrier any further. Too much possible negative outcomes. My worst fear being, the hitch breaks and bikes on the ground. Its just not worth the risk. Trailer it is! grsxr guy can you pm me details about...

The bike is obviously in for the winter. The standup trailer is a good feature for sure, the second one is good value but I think I know someone who has a lot of inside storage I could store it there for the winter. Will wait for responses on the trailers to see. Yes mimico that is why I...

Cheers zx600 I sent him a message. also looked into this one. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cargo-utility-trailer/owen-sound/utility-trailer-with-side-rails/1053427113?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Stick my own chock on it, can then use it as practical trailer also

yeah meme it might have to be that! On Kijiji checking out trailers.

Yeah greyghost thats my worry! I dont see how that can be good for the SUv to have that weight on a hitch pulling down on the rear axle. Thats why im hoping there is someone with actual experience with them. I checked out the harbor freight site. A lot of good parts there but I could not find...

Yes I looked into the hitch side of things you can get a class 3 hitch for a 05-15 Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute Yes it does weight a ton haha Yes I seen a few them that you have in the pic there I dont know anything about them or the prices. But would certainly be open to getting one , just a...

So I have been looking into getting a hitch carrier for my 08 Ford Escape 4x4. I have a 09 Bandit 1250SA (about 500pounds) I have got mixed feedback. Some saying ill never be able to use a hitch carrier with that bike on that SUV. Some saying you can most certainly do so with a class 3 or...

It is ****** that you pay insurance on the bike during the winter when you dont even ride it. I wonder is it "ok" to just default back to parking insurance when your done the season, and startup a new policy every time. There should be more flexibility for riders in that front.

State Farm, yeah I have home/auto insurance with them too

yeah parking insurance is $78 for the year they just got back to me. Definitely going ahead with that. As you mention anything can happen. God forbid we have a fire, or a breakin , even though its sitting there its covered and its better than nothing. Cheers for the quick responses ill go ahead...
