    Parking reversing fail - writeoff bike, left # but now wont fork over insurance

    Good to know, I thought it was way more. I got rear-ended pretty bad at a red light 2 weeks ago (luckily in my car). Went to the station and they said it wasn't worth filing a report and to come back if they didn't end up paying (the lady didn't want to go through insurance).

    Spark plug change interval

    Yes, I would change sparkplugs as well. I just changed mine for the 10,000km. I'm estimating, just for the plugs, it will cost between $100-150. Should take an hour or two to complete at the shop and the plugs themselves are very cheap.

    Parking reversing fail - writeoff bike, left # but now wont fork over insurance

    Probably not a hit and run if he left a note (for now). I think in the eyes of the law it would be considered a reasonable thing to do if he didn't estimate damages to be over $5,000 (in which case you are supposed to report to cops). However, if he does not respond back there might be a case...

    what's YOUR way of practicing emergency braking?

    Who knows, good chance I would probably still panic if something jumped out at me fast enough. But practicing has definitely let me feel the upper limits of squeezing that front brake. Not sure if it's true, but I've heard its better just to keep going straight and try to break for deer. Most...

    what's YOUR way of practicing emergency braking?

    I like to practice in the Streetsville GO-station parking lot on an early sunday morning. BONUS: If you frequently take the go-train and have a monthly pass bring it with you, that way IF security even stopped you you would not be trespassing since you purchased a pass to be there in their...

    Shaky feeling through turns and braking

    Got back from a long ride today and noticed a different feeling through turns and when braking hard. I decided to check to see if anything was loose while giving it a good wash and found this (pic below) was almost off. Would anything major have happened if it came off while riding? It looks...

    Cleaning Products

    Awesome thanks! Just picked up a can. Only a few more left. They are a bit more pricey there. I heard they are selling in Hamilton for $18-- $24 at riders choice. Oh well, it saved me a trip.

    Cleaning Products

    I have heard that Plexus is a great cleaning product for fairings and any other plastic parts. Anyone know where I can buy this in Mississauga? If no stores carry it I guess I will have to purchase online.

    Parking in Toronto

    Yes, I was checking this area out today, I was just concerned with it being a bit out of sight and someone being able to grab the bike in a van. Not sure why someone would want to steal a 250 anyways, maybe I will just find a nice R6 to park next to :)
