    is it worht it getting a 1000cc SS for the street?

    "better" is relative for suspension. Bike A might be worse for the task at hand than bike B even if bike A has better components but bike B is set up for that situation. A sports bike with sporting suspension is exactly what you do not want with potholes, unless you enjoy riding a jackhammer. If...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Yeah. They have sporting ability and very reasonable on insurance. also can be taken to the track with minor adjustments. The half naked ones are kinda ugly though.

    Camping at the track?

    Good point on the gates. Almost happened to me once when I was running late and not paying attention to time. Can always tent it on the tarmac to avoid ticks....just weigh it down heavy inside.

    Camping at the track?

    Lots of people sleep in tent. Lots of grass to set up your tent. More grass near all the stationary trailers and a bit further away from people running generators. Showers aren't the greatest but good for camping standards.

    It's not the track....don't bunch up.

    I'm not convinced that's what it was. Would be pretty difficult to lift the rear tire with your leg on a slight incline. Maybe cold tires and too much gas to quickly on exit? You can see them squirming just after they turned around. Definitely looks like he lost the rear and it started to come...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Love it when someone lists a bike for $200 MORE than MSRP on the Kawasaki website. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-touring/oshawa-durham-region/2017-kawasaki-ninja-650-abs-krt/1363583193?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

    Just did my first oil change - nothing blew up (or better yet siezed)!

    I'd rather spend the money on specialty tools for the motorbike...like fork oil level filler, bearing drive, chain alignment tool, spoke torque wrench etc. No use for car jacks. No time to fix car headaches.

    Just did my first oil change - nothing blew up (or better yet siezed)!

    Yes, at a cost of the ramp plus having to store them. I rarely ever work on my car. Bikes are fun to strip down and put back together. Far more convenient to leave it at a quick lube place while I buy beer. Car oil changes cost the same to pay someone to do it VS buying all the stuff and doing...

    Hmmm, didn't know that and I work in a hospital too.

    Purchasing a new motorcycle

    Looks like the OP proved that to be true. What the...are you talking about? Making it easier reselling if it's legit to register? As if, it's it's not legit to register, you bought and rode around a stolen bike?

    Purchasing a new motorcycle

    3,800km is NOT a lot for tires on a 250/300. I got about that out of the Bridgestone S20 EVO on a Ninja 250...AT THE TRACK! On the street, you'll get easily 8 to 10,000 on the OEM tires.

    Bikes. Yes Car. No My bike is done in the time it take to put on my gear. Or the time it takes to wait at the register to pay for said oil change. Cars...not even worth it to jack it up and crawl under that thing. Cost of oil is cheaper to pay a local shop while I'm in the LCBO and grocery...

    Purchasing a new motorcycle

    Also...don't put those Kendas on your bike. If you spend any money on anything, get a good set of tires. The Bridgestone S20 Evo are a great all-round tire and even useable on the track. If you're on a budget, the Shinko is a way better option than a cruiser tire from Kenda...

    Purchasing a new motorcycle

    Used Vehicle Information Package. Will show previous owners and if there are any liens on the bike. 3800km or 38,000km? for $1200, if it's actually 3800 it'll still have the original OEM tires on there (road winners, I think?) and have lots of tread left. BUT you should still change them because...

    photo radar here ???

    I'll bet if they are going through the hassle of retrofitting signs with photo radar, they'll have everything covered to make sure they get their monies.

    Trailering Bikes Across Boarder

    Vehicles are insured. People do not get insured for motor vehicle use. The bike is insured just not in his name. It's covered but risky if a regular user, lives in same house and not declared so.
