All sold, thanks.

I've sold my bike, and selling off the rest of my gear. A* TZ-1 Reloaded leather jacket, US46, worn two or three times. Like brand new. $SOLD A* SMX boots. Great condition, excellent velcro, never down. $150 A* SMX-1 half-height boots. Worn twice to work. $SOLD A* GP Plus gloves, black...

Lol. No. They're incompetent thieves there. Try Woodchester Collision for a quote, too - near the Autopark at Glen Erin/Dundas in Mississauga.

Probably this guy! Got scared, so he closed his eyes while I lapped him going into Allen's. Where is that Paul guy, anyway- still on here? :D

It only takes one.

I don't remember. Seemed like a good idea at the time :D Probably an accident. Need more caffeine.

I only use my rear brake to tighten up a line at the track if I've buggered something up. Seems like that advice wouldn't really apply (or make sense to) someone who is wondering why their rear brake locks up and slides under heavy braking. There are two giant, 12"+ rotors up front, clamped...

I didn't look at insuring *just* my bike with Allstate. I looked at what it would cost me to insure everything- primary vehicle, bike, home, etc. Allstate was the least expensive, and Grant was awesome to work with. I can see companies charging you a higher rate when you're only bringing...

I've spent a lot of time driving in many European countries. The bad drivers in Germany are a small fraction of the useless morons we have on the streets here. The GTA seems to be their home stomping grounds, too.

A 55W bulb only puts out 55W of light. You're not going to get 60% more anything from a 55W bulb, using the same bulb technology. To get more light (in lumens), you need to either up the wattage, to something like a 65 or 80W bulb (which may be too much for your wiring system), or retrofit a...

I'm going to send D $0.05 every day, and alternate the tags/comments with 'Jihad', 'ISIS/ISIL', 'Daesh', 'Castro', & 'Allahu Akbar'. Wait for hilarity to ensue. Hell, that's way cheaper than my Netflix subscription, and way more entertainment.

Understatement of the year. In Germany, getting a driver's license costs hundreds of dollars, and includes several tests, including basic things like changing a flat, boosting a dead battery, etc. By the time you get issued a license, you can pretty much drive anything with wheels, properly...

These things have rear brakes? OP, I tap my rear brake about once a month to get the rust off the rotor, after it gets wet. Learn to use and trust your front brakes, and leave more space. You're obviously riding too fast for the conditions and/or your skill level.

OP, what specifically is happening with your brakes? Are they strong initially, then fade quickly? If so, it's your MC. If your brakes are just ***** period, your brakes may not have been bled properly, and there could be air bubbles trapped in your system. When was the last time you did any...

I wasn't singling you out or anything- just saw the word 'boring' a couple of times in the thread. I will concede that it's not the most exhilarating ride on the street- the stock gearing has it at @147km/h in first gear. Idling in third gear gets you above almost every speed limit in the...

On my '04 750, I could easily lift up the rear end with a single finger. Stock calipers, but EBC pads, wave rotors, braided lines, and Brembo MC. The OEM calipers are actually decent, it's everything else they stuck on there that's crap.

I'm not sure why all the hate toward the 1000RR. It's comfortable (have an aftermarket seat on mine), fast as stink when you want it to be, yet still perfectly tractable and plenty of low end grunt on the street. Very linear power delivery, and you'd have to do something really dumb to upset the...

I found a 105 5800 equipped S2 at a great deal, so I picked that up. Added some 60mm profile carbon tubulars, and love it. The S2 accepts 25mm tires, where the 2014 S5 I was looking at did not, so I went the S2 route for the added comfort. I'll add the dual position seat post next summer, once...

Stop giving politicians ideas! I already pay to play -to the tune of half of my paycheque. I already license my Jeep and motorcycle, and probably pay more in gas taxes than most on here. I already pay more than my share. Mosts cyclists are reasonable and careful law abiding folks- when I go...

Mine decided to crap out on the back straight at Fabi after only a few morning sessions, so no- we're not making it a bigger issue than it is. Suzuki doesn't arbitrarily recall stuff unless there's a huge potential liability to them.
