I wish that was me. Haven't been down on Lakeshore since coming back from GP Bikes on Saturday. That place is insane!

Yup, that would have been me. What a knob that guy was. Trying to outrun a bike in a CRZ... riiiight. Thank god I had the MSC so I was in the left tire track.

You: Black Ninja with green piping, black/green helmet, khakis Me: White Interceptor, backpack strapped down with cargo webbing Where: Bottom of 427 @ QEW westbound to Hurontario I couldn't tell for sure if you noticed, but yeah, it's a pretty sweet cargo web. Canadian Tire, $11.30, tax in.

Well, it was time for the dreaded tune up. Having bought the '84 Interceptor for 1200, I knew it was going to need work. Finally got it in to have the battery, brake fluid, and oil swapped. Adrian took amazing care of my bike and showed me every step he had taken on the bike, even explaining...

Lol yeah, looked it up after I posted that and as it turns out, Oshawa itself is part of the GTA. I'm relatively new to the area, my bad. I'm located in Oakville. Took a 2 hour ride this evening and encountered... 10 curves? I need some better roads.

Hmmm, Wikipedia claims that Whitby is part of the Greater Oshawa Metropolitan Area... maybe something a little closer is in order? I want to grab a tag at some point this summer!

Saw the humidex was at 38 today (!). Hope everyone's keeping cool and riding safely. Free

Can't for the life of me figure out where this is. Website says Oshawa/Peterborough w/new Whitby location, but methinks that's a little far. Also, none of them are near a Hakim optical. Google maps, you've let me down again.

True. The road itself is not exactly GoPro worthy, but as a day out it's a nice area.

Brief: A few nice turns, good surface and scenery, too short (aren't they all) I was looking to take a lady friend for a little jaunt this weekend and consulted the Great Ontario Bike Roads thread (http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?95-Great-Ontario-Bike-Roads-The-BIG-map!)...

This. Also, Waze tells you where the cops are. Even better than knowing the speed limit, imho ;) Not sure I trust it 100%, but I haven't seen any false negatives yet.

:lmao:

Definitely not. When I thought I had the problem I had it hooked up to my car battery. Everything was working (except it wasn't starting, obviously), and then... nothing. I would press the starter button and the bike would give me the silent treatment. Guess it just needed to cool down.

Ok, so I figured out what was wrong with my bike. I got the multimeter out, had the seat/side panel off, and was about to take off the solenoid. I had the battery hooked up to my car just to make sure I had enough charge to get the solenoid activated. What was the problem? Absolutely nothing...

Well, I'm going to try it out tonight. Wish me luck! Also, any good tips for wreckers in the area? I don't feel like getting new parts through Honda... they quoted me $580 for a new starter motor (!).

Anyone, please feel free to correct me, but I believe that jumping the solenoid effectively takes it out of the equation. Under normal operating conditions, the solenoid is effectively a powered switch. The solenoid gets power from the relay which connects the two terminals on the solenoid. This...

TL;DR: I want to test my starter solenoid, is a car battery OK to use or will it blow the 30A fuse? Bike: 1984 Honda VF500F So I jumped my bike last week and something went awry. Oil indicator light went off (no power to the bike) and that was that. I towed it home and realized later that...

Possibly not actually called "The Beaumont"? I thought it might be "The Be nt" or something. It's not, but hey, it was worth a shot. I'm really loving this thread

Ragu = ??? Anyone? And the tomato sauce thing has already been done.

Re: 1984 Honda Interceptor VF500F: Engine runs fine, idles ok, stalls in stop & go I haven't done any as of yet. I just picked it up a few weeks ago. I had it inspected by Adrian at Ace Moto Tech for peace of mind, but I realize there's stuff I'm going to have to do to it. From what I read the...
