    Yamaha's MT series

    Funny enough, I got price from TD (with them now) on the FZ-07 at $1200. The girl on the phone was emphasizing that its a 2015 sport bike hence the rate. I currently pay $550 for the EN500 which I cant complain too loudly about. (I'm 37 and riding for 4 years).

    If you're west of the city then Burlington Cycle, who I believe have a Kawasaki ride day today.

    Fz-07 & fz-09

    Burlington Cycle has an FZ-09 in their showroom and a crated FZ-07 waiting for a mechanic. Was told that it should be in the showroom this weekend, so will head back then for a look and compare.

    Fz-07 & fz-09

    Thanks! Appreciate the response. I do feel that I may get bored with the 07 before the 09, even if that does take a few years, so will probably go that way May well wait until next season, unless a deal pops up beforehand. Or I simply can't wait anymore :p Thanks again - appreciated.

    Fz-07 & fz-09

    Does anyone here ride either of these two bikes and able to offer their thoughts? I know the FZ-07 has only just been launched and I am keen to get some owner reviews as oppose to those in the press/media. Interested in the 07, but would like to hear the good and the bad on both before making...

    Very close call

    Friday afternoon, around 3.30 on Keele, just south of St. Clair. Turning left into the Home Depot lot, when I checked my mirror to make sure all was good behind. Needless to say, a complete **** in a garbage truck had his head buried in his lap texting or surfing the web. I know he was not...

    Riding in rain (pic)...

    I got caught in it last night and realized my waterproofs are as waterproof as a paper bag. Still, I actually enjoyed the experience and know I need a new suite :)

    Ouch!!!

    Ditto - I took part in this study after breaking mine. They wanted to see what the short term consequences were from non surgery versus surgery. In short, nip down to St. Mikes and have them look at it. The doctor that was part of the study and based out of St Michaels was, apparently, on the...

    My First Rant!

    I assumed the wife bearer association was due to the strength of Stella versus other UK beers. They serve the draught around 4% while Stella (and a few others now) come out the tap at 5%. Doesn't seem much, but when your young and chucking them back, it quickly turns messy.

    My daily rides are over

    Ditto. Avoid the 401 and 400 completely. Occasional 403 but never in prime time. This year, I ride pretty much everyday to work downtown and am loving it. Not too far but enough to blow the sleep out my eyes. Downside, like today, is that CP24 could not predict the weather correctly if their...

    My Dad put tire shine on my tires

    My Father In Law done the same to me.... Another forum recommended brake cleaner, which I used and it seemed to have done the trick.

    Icon Textile Jacket fail

    Having watched the 'twist the wrist' video on the other thread, I consider myself to be an expert on this now. Too much pressure on the front wheel, creating less pressure on the back wheel and losing traction going into the turn. He needed to roll the wrist through the turn increasing the...

    Call to legalize lane splitting/filtering

    So... Understand filtering and lane splitting. But is it legal/recommended to use the left side of a lane when cars are parked on the right? (two lanes, with one providing parking after peak times) Example being Bayview Avenue south of Eglington. I was sat in traffic (on my bike) Wednesday...

    Call to legalize lane splitting/filtering

    IIRC correctly your standard driving license qualifies you for a 125cc bike so you do get a lot of inexperienced riders. When I passed in my 1.1 ford fiesta, I also qualified for an 11 ton truck as well! But I think that changed a few years ago too. Sorry, I don't know what ATGATT is?

    Call to legalize lane splitting/filtering

    Born and raised in London. Lane splitting and filtering are the main reasons people ride the daily commute as oppose to the underground. The traffic (pre congestion charge) was always a joke, so this takes a ton of time out of the daily travel times. Scooters and mopeds do tend to take up a lot...
