My post did sound douchey, edited it sound less so.

I find that the majority of cars parked like arse-holes tend to be BMW's. I think its the market that they aim for. There are bound to be some good BMW owners out there though. Not sure about BMW motorcycle owners though. I wouldn't care about people not waving back. Personally I find waving...

True dat.

There isn't a thing to be learned about the electric part. Its simple, you disconnect your battery so you don't electrocute or fry anything. Make note of which wire is for which signal on your bike (I'd tape for laziness factor). Then cut the connectors off the signals you are taking off and...

The real problem isn't the people riding the e-bikes. They are all rats in the same cage as all of us. Going at a guy like the OP did is going to do nothing positive. I totally get it but its still no way to deal with the situation. If the OP is really that angry he should lobby his local MP to...

Like another poster mentioned I also suggest checking out the SV650. That's what I started on this year. I was looking at the gs500f and was going to get it but then decided on the SV. It may have 650cc's but the thing is not to powerful to handle. It's amazing with city traffic and wicked for...

I would do what Chuck Norris would do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPjWrDmsZ0

The OP's story is intense! Holy fack man, glad you're okay. I've had some ******* ride me on the highway but I tend to have no problem speeding up and shaking them. I either ride at the front of traffic packs or take up the rear, both spots tend to be safer. If I have no choice but to be stuck...

Good to hear you're okay and that you got an apology.

Grats on the new ride, she's a beaut!

Congrats! Glad you got a bike, time to ride!

The SV650 is an amazing bike, I'd suggest it as a contender.

It's completely legal, tons of companies do it and its even done with cars. Works for me, got me a hard to find bike. Any written off bike can be sold, it just can't hit the road unless it passes a proper safety certification. They would not risk selling someone a biker that was written off. You...

Yeah they are American. It's a good that Suzuki made the dash display configurable. I discovered the way to change the bike from miles to kilometers on the highway a couple weekends ago lol. Miles per hour was tripping me out to much. It's a shame we have such a markup here for bikes.

You do have a major point about price. In truth, I got the bike from them because I was set on the naked SV and they are hella hard to find. I also did not know about GP bikes so I didn't call them. Essentially I called CWS, asked if they had any naked SV's, talked to the owner who had just got...

I think they will do something about your bike. An oil leak is not sound working condition to me. In terms of the aftermarket parts etc, that I can't comment on. I had a carbon fiber yoshimura exhaust on my bike before and after I got it. The seat cowl was also still on my bike. They did...

I think others are making you worry for nothing. I bought my bike from motorcycle superstore and did not have these kinds of issues. I negotiated a much cheaper price that put my bike on par of a good deal found on Craigslist or Kijiji. They are a dealership and as such operate like a...

Bout 2 weeks for me. I just worked my way up to the speeds. Week one regular city streets, week 2 Bayview Extension, week 3 DVP, week 4 400 series. During week 4 I took a trip to Perth and back to initiate myself. The trip was hella fun and taught me more about my bike and handling it than all...

I love when he wipes out in the courthouse parking lot, talk about golden.

My naked SV is def much cooler in the head when riding. I am thinking of getting a wind sheild though for the highway though I have yet to find one I like the look of.
