    Quick Shifter - Thoughts?

    and doesn't the R6 QS only go up? I remember there is no downshift... don't bother if its only UP-QuickShift..

    Quick Shifter - Thoughts?

    FWIW.. I also think QS is more of a bling than anything useful. And honestly, if you have QS one-way (i.e. only up and no downshift/autoblipper). I think its quite useless. You can get out a bit faster out of the line with a QS... but seriously.. if you do clutchless shift/preloading gears...

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    Lol. I m guilty of buying a $2 chocolate bar at a gas station instead of Dollarama. Nothing against buying cheaper. Just saying the time vs money saved may not be worth it for everyone. Anyway. Don’t want to hi-jack the thread. Glad the OP got everything resolved. Ride safe bros and sis.

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    oh.. don't get me wrong.. if the wait is just in and out... its easily worth the savings... and over the course of the year.. it does add up... but I am just thinking over and over... for a normal sized tank at like 60L--- you save about $3-$6? And for a bike with like a 15L tank -- you...

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    damn.. sorry to hear that dude... on a side note... why do people spend the time to get gas lining up at Costco... you save may be 5-10c/liter? is it really worth the time?

    Weird harley culture

    my take on road rage and on a motorcycle.. hold your cool at all times.. Many times you may be right on the road.. but because I am on a bike and the other dude is in a car/truck/SUV/bus/18 wheeler... I will always be on the losing end of the stick.. Now if I am in my SUV...... lol...

    My 42-Year-Old Friend Failed His M2 Exam

    i couldn't agree more... I think M2 exam has nothing to do with how to ride on the street. It just shows you how to operate a motorcycle... i.e. mechancially how it works etc... Well.. the day I did my M2 with LC... there were actually 4/5 fails and 1 dropped. May be I was (un)lucky to see...

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    I think the only complaint is when I rev so hard the mirrors start shaking like a MF. And I can see if it’s a regular car or police behind me. And I wear an Apple Watch. And the watch tells me I m in a “loud environment”. Lol. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    No complaints about the QS+. Freaking awesome. Especially when merging lanes. Went to VOS to pick up a USB socket just now and took Hwy 7. Was revving on low gears and was amazed to hear the growl this thing gives.

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    Lol. Don’t get me wrong. I love the dual discs up front, just getting some getting used to… And frankly I really think the RC390 single disc is barely enough. I feel my braking distance drags on forever.

    Is Higher Octane Fuel Better?

    Generally, just buy the min. gas that your engine requires... altho always choose ones with no ethanol content... you don't want to buy **** you don't need.. but then.. i think even Shell (who used to sell no ethanol) fills their gas with ethanol now.

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    The first few moments I got on the bike... It clued in that it has a QuickShifter.. and how easy it was to not even need any predisposition on HOW to use it.. really makes me think that if a beginner was on it.. and got reliant on the QuickShifter (and AutoBlipper) for that matter... I don't...

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    definitely a bit of heat on the left hand side but nothing unbearable... i road the bike for another 70KM.. after coming back from StudioCycle.. and didn't have one complaint.

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    Brought her home yesterday took it out for a spin. Started with 2Kms on the odo and ended the day with 99km back at home. Definitely want to say... this thing is far from a beginners bike. Definitely glad that I made the transition from a smaller bike (RC390) then to a bigger bike like the...

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    u know what.. it was actually Sabina that struck a cord with me last year when I first spoke to them... she was amazingly patiently with my questions and spent almost like 30 mins with her on the phone asking her stupid questions... then earlier this year.. I actually went in the store.. said hi...

    Aprillia RS660 vs. KTM RC390

    yep.. was looking at the RS660 even before I got my M2 last year and because Studio Cycle was so patient with my questions as a noob... I was thinking to myself.. if I ever get myself onto an Aprilia.. I would go to Studio Cycle... and a year later.. here I m.... and the colors.. i thought the...
