I can't see the whole glove, but it looks like the back of the right hand? The white layer is a waterproof layer, as you stated? So you'll need to open/unstitch the glove, probably from the wrist area, in order to separate and get between the outer leather layer and the waterproof layer. It is...

Can you post a pic? I'll tell you if it is simple or complex.

A couple of years ago I complained to the police about errant parking practices in front of my local school, endangering kids and other vehicles. I personally talked to one officer. Drivers seem to really like doing 3-8 point U turns in front of the school. The verdict: There are exactly 3...

Also note that sport bikes are highly sought after by thieves. If you live in an apartment/condo reconsider, or get insurance with theft. Your first bike is not your last bike. There are many benefits of going with a smaller bike, that are more important than just savings on your insurance premium.

I'd love to have been there. Much Uk influence in the former British Colony, and it shows. Some pics of a '69 BSA, '71 Vespa Spring, amongst newer bikes. I could not post any photos. http://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/motoring/article/2043060/old-and-young-get-their-bikes-hong-kong-motorcycle-show

With practice, downshifting will become second nature. Downshift one gear at a time, as recommended above, until you have so much practice that when you do inadvertently downshift more than one there will be no issue.

How old is the bike? Bikes are usually very reliable, so without knowing the brand I'd say you should take the $600 and buy protective gear/do a riding course.

There is no "good" time to get hurt or worse, be it before or after kids. Motorcycling can be either a good or ill influence on your future kids, or for you, for that matter. Live your life as you feel fits you best. If this means waiting then so be it. This is your first bike, not your last...

That, for an 8 yo bike?!?

A 30 minute walk is about 3kms. You'll not get anything with a gas motor for under $500. A used moped should be available for that price, but you'll need insurance, which will cost more than $300/yr. An e-bike, new is ~$1,000. Maybe a used one, but watch the batteries, which do go bad and need...

Note Environment Canada's dew point. This is the temperature where the air can no longer hold moisture, so the moisture falls to the ground. If the road temperature is below the dew point and below zero, moisture from the air will fall to the ground and freeze, creating black ice. For example...

3d printing is on my bucket list. There are too many small fiddly plastic parts that break, making a machine unusable. At UofT one of their labs 3d prints trans-tibial leg prosthetic sockets. Supposedly they send the printer, software and supplies to Africa for sockets for kids. I toured their...

Dude, a fellow rider is down, going 80-85kph and t-boned by a truck. You're on his crash thread and you get huffy because of some perceived insult to you? You then defend the horsepower of the trucks in your area? I don't really know the area or the situation, but if the OP's story is right, the...

Hopefully your gear helped minimize injury. Please tell what leg surgery and if any protective equipment could have reduced injury. GWS.

These ss riders are an immediate danger to the public. They are an immediate danger to themselves, who are part of the public, as well as if they crash and spread ss parts all over the highway, that the driving public behind them will run into and damage vehicles, possibly causing a chain...

Very lovely yesterday. 20C now and threatening rain. Get a windshield and heated grips.

I do admire your foresight into determining your insurance prior to buying a bike. We have people here that bought their gixxer and then were shocked that they were not able to afford the insurance. If you are thinking about a 2009, 7 years old, this is not a new bike so you might not need...

A crime is a crime, but there is potential here for a tragic event, such as someone getting killed. When a crime endangers the public, or the riders involved, the police have an obligation to find the riders. So far, nothing tragic, other than 2 fires, has happened. This behaviour needs to stop...

That is a pretty unique Troy Lee dirt helmet and armoured vest. Someone on here must know these guys. http://media.chainreactioncycles.com/is/image/ChainReactionCycles/prod84412_Ace%20Black_NE_01?wid=500&hei=505 Girl is buying a Red Bull and looks to be paying with coins.
