Many dealers are selling used cars uncertified and they (the honest ones!) are upfront about it, stating that the car is "as-is". When I owned a 2.5 Rabbit (the 5 cyl model) my go-to shop was Techmaxx Auto in 'Sauga. They specialize in the german makes.

Reading about Canada's heroic defence of it's assigned beach, "Holding Juno" by Mark Zuehlke. The book is a great presentation with amazing detail on what happened 80 years ago on this day.

Cheers!

Sorry to hear, GWS. The bike resto looks faultless, it is a shame that the effort is wasted. Hope that you get fair compensation for both your injury and the bike. What was the perp's story on the cause of the accident?

Just finished reading "The making of a Canadian Sniper", applaud the persistence and courage of Jody Mitic! Edit: he ended up being a double amputee (both legs) and to enable him to ride, Harley made him a bike with a push button handlebar shifter. Possibly a Barrie Harley dealer was involved in...

All this tech talk is giving me a complex, during my apprenticeship I could not make a straight cut and even now I cannot slice bread with slices of even thickness [emoji12]

Sorry, my bad - please disregard my post, I had mixed up the bikes. Yes, Motul 7100 is a good choice and no there is no clutch or final drive oil to change. Apologies [emoji17]

If you are changing the g/box oil, then you may want to change the clutch oil and while you are at it, change the final drive oil. Stick to the specs and you'll be fine. John Parker (Budds BMW) recommends dino motor oil for the R9T engine and apparently BMW in Canada re-badges the Castrol 10W30...

Nothing to beat the looks of the six organ pipes and six pots of the CBX. The Honda must be more heavy to ride than the BMW (which carries it's weight low) and the six must be glass-smooth compared to the visceral shake of the opposed twin.

Group ride to O'ville to check out the event, who's going?

Thanks for the warning-reminder, GWS.

The under pinnings of the R20 and R18 are almost the same, the WB is prolly identical. From the look-see, BeeEm have "bobberized" the R18, added 100cc per cylinder and dressed it with an R9T styled tank. With those massive jugs on each side, the bike is unique and the thing is that except for...

"Bobber" styled with elements of the R18 and R9T, a very cool bike! Is this BMW's foray into the Diavel market?

Yes, other error conditions could trigger the warning light and in this case ignorance will not be bliss [emoji3]

The service light will come on at pre-programmed intervals. The GS911 is the device that connects to the ECU and is used to reset the service light (among other things). There are other devices that do the same, IMHO the GS911 is the easiest to work with. The "dealer" is the alternative if you...

RIP

Sad news. RIP Rider, condolences to the family.

Ever try a left turn onto 10 while exiting from the FOC road? (It is dicing with your life!)

Not for the trucks. The neighboring street (which has a school) has five sequential speed bumps. I have seen trucks, SUVs and even some of the city buses negotiate these without braking.

Well said bitzz! Many years back when the GT-1000 was first released (and GP Bikes operated out of a plaza), I took a test ride on one. Loved the bike while riding on a straight, but it had to be wrestled into turns. Didn't put my cash down on one.
