    forks of the credit

    Sounds like you're in Burlington. Go up and down Rattle Snake point a few times. The hairpin is about as tricky as the one at the forks.

    A Difficult Spouse....

    Wow everyone's subject to their own opinion. ;) My wife and I both started riding when we were 46 and 48. I started talking about taking the course and she said; "If you're taking it then so am I" We both have 1100 cc Virago's and ride together. We talked about riding for years and finally had...

    Anyone with tire irons want to make some cash on tire install - Hamilton

    Is there a name for the one in Binbrook? I've looked and can't find them. I've heard that 679-BIKE is back in business at a new location and name. He was quite good.

    Yamaha V-star 650 or 950

    They are both great bikes, and neither has a bad temper. Weight listings I found are 543 lbs for the 650 Custom, 512 lbs for the 650 classic and and 611 for the 950 The 650 is physically smaller and may be more forgiving for a newby even though the weights are relatively close. Personally I...

    Sturgess Cycle in Hamilton, Kelly's Cycle Centre in Hamilton and Clare's Cycle in Fonthill all respond to email. Usually the same day, often within minutes. Doesn't matter whether it's about bikes, parts or service

    49cc moped, bicycle with motor

    Police in Hamilton don't seem to interested in these bikes at all, I'm guessing they see them as similar to e-bikes. There are a few kids in my area that ride them to work all summer. I've heard rumors about loopholes but haven't been able to find anything specific yet. The only thing likely to...

    Google glass perspective

    Video and Audio quality is pretty nice. Angle is a little low, probably due to it being wedged against the helmet. I just wonder about the other distractions that Google glass brings with it.

    How packed is Deal's Gap during the weekend of Canada Day?

    Where's that? Planning a trip to Gatlinburg next spring. Won't likely be taking Deals Gap but US441 looks really nice and it just re-opened. Skyline drive also looks worthwhile (sorry meant Blue Ridge Parkway). Never heard of the "Snake" Found it. About 150 miles north east of Gatlinburg Thanks!

    Glasses and Helmets

    I just got the IS-16 last week. Previous helmet was the HJC CL_16. My glasses (wire frame) fit no problem, and there's no interference with the internal sun visor. It's also quieter and feels lighter than the CL-16
