I was not thinking of cops by the side of the road paint ball shooting wheelieing ss rides, though that would be interesting to watch. I watched a vid of ss riders riding right beside a cruiser on a highway, with no others cars around. Cop passenger could wind down the window and have at it. If...

We will all succumb to age in the future, there is no denying this. Riding is pleasurable. If a self-balancing bike is available to the boomer crowd, this might be a great use case. To extend the range of possible riders beyond young with a good sense of balance can only be good. I know of a...

While these mass hooligan incidents are alarming, maybe we are overreacting. So far, no one has gotten hurt, though there have been 2 fires (1 bike, 1 suv), the police are powerless to stop them, and riding season is coming to an end in a month. If there are no more incidents then this will...

Boys pushing their luck to see how far they can go. They won't stop until they get busted. Boys, that cruiser has video cameras, so your time in the spotlight is coming. If you ride with them you'll get busted as well. Birds of a feather...

I can see a market for a self-balancing motorcycle for riders with short legs, or for those brave souls that like tall KTMs. This is especially true in lanes with bus knuckles, where the asphalt has melted, and buses have mashed it into a peak in between tire track troughs. There are also older...

You'll need a 20v to 12 v step down transformer, something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/HOSSEN%C2%AE-Converter-Regulator-Step-Down/dp/B00BWKXTUU Without it you'll burn up the wire, the gloves and possibly you.

tl;dr, actually did read a couple of screens but not all 7 It would have been more timely to have ticketed the two bikes and see the nice officer in court. Having the officer wait for the rider is a waste of money. Maybe the officer had other business to do during the wait. All vehicles that...

Years ago wife came home and taught me the "s" turn manoeuvre, from Young Drivers, and I've been doing it ever since. The "S" turn gives you the best sight lines of oncoming traffic. I agree that staying behind the pedestrian lines does not give you a clear view of oncoming traffic, but it is...

Re: Griff hard on material Insurance deals in risk. The fact that a possibly catastrophic event did not actually come to pass is immaterial. The risk is there, was real, and only by luck did not happen. Insurance companies need to be compensated for taking on the increased risk required to...

This is very typical of Japanese hospitality and thoughtfulness. You will not find that here in north America. Bike porn, Japanese food porn...LOL!

Re: Griff hard on material Perception is everything. Now the police, insurance companies and government have 2 documented cases of sport bike abuses, both resulting in vehicle fire and one resulting in physical assault of the driver. Any way you look at it, sport bike riders are out of line...

Re: Griff hard on material I did not read the whole 10 pages in this thread, and if this is covered then I apologize. These recent two West end Toronto/Mississauga incidents involving large roaming gangs of sport bike riders will herald a GTA-wide crackdown on sport bike riders. When your...

How bad are they coming apart? If the leather is still good you could repair your seams. Pls post a pic?

Possible issues: 1. battery bad: no matter that it is new. A test light is not accurate enough. It could have 12v but under load it drops. 2. Regulator rectifier bad/going: As you ride your bike is not recharging the battery. After 30 minutes the battery's amps have dropped sufficiently that it...

All tools can be used for good or evil. A hammer can build a house or bludgeon your mother. For some reason we have an addiction to our smartphones. Why and how does this small electronic box tap into our primal instincts? Fire, food, the opposite sex, a moving object, then smartphones? It...

Take a look at the numerous bones in each hand, 27 bones, many multi faceted. They move in so many planes so no wonder we have such dexterity. Unfortunately it is so difficult to keep these bones immobile in order to heal. The foot has 26, many also multi faceted. Take it easy on the hand...

In pictures: Royal Enfield motorbikes lovingly restored in New Delhi by Bobbee Singh Bobbee Singh restores vintage REs in Dehli He does not seem to comment on the current state of RE. Nice photos of vintage REs, they look lovely.

Ask if he has any associations such as from his wife's workplace, university alumni, professional organizations. All these associations usually class members in a safer insurance group, resulting in lower premiums.

in the '90s I spent a year in Kyushu, Japan's most southern island. It was very rural. I had a Suzuki scooter that I still have fond memories of that bike. I rode a lot on the weekends, all over, visiting various friends and touring around. It was difficult adjusting to riding on the left side...

The last RE I saw was a less than a year old, army green 500, just like the Reddit post. There was rust in a lot of places. I would never buy one. If India is anything like China, there are motorcycle repair places on every street corner, and bike rust is not a big deal. In China getting your...
