    Suggestions/Help choosing a middle weight sports bike

    You're correct. Honda lowered the VTEC engagement from 6800rpm to 6400rpm. Honda also went with clear corners instead of the amber coloured all around. VFR's are truly the best all around bike. Here's mine, looking all sexy with the rear pegs removed. And here it is all done up ready to...

    Disobey stop ticket, old address on ticket after address changed at MTO any case

    Uhh.. points don't mean anything to insurance. They are only for MTO purposes. Insurance cares about convictions. A disobeying stop sign offence is a conviction that will go against your driving record.

    Insurance

    All those are factors, but more importantly are your experience and postal code. There's quite a few bikes that are black listed on several insurance companies. Super sport bikes with either a high theft rate or a high death rate due to inexperienced riders. Cruisers and the sort will be much...

    Ninja 650R Digital Tach & Speedo??

    One of the reasons why tach's are going digital is because an analog signal sometimes isn't fast enough to show true revs. A digital tach can rev up to any speed in a split second.

    Words people mispronounce or misuse that drive me bonkers

    It doesn't drive me bonkers, but I think it's funny but when Indian immigrants speak English! So many words! Furniture; pur-nee-ture what are you doing; what doing Another one that I find unique is aluminum. I believe both pronunciations are correct. Ah-loo-mi-num and ah-lih-min-nium

    First attempt at making a video..

    Hero2 and 3 are mostly great for day time/evening shots. If you want interesting videos, change the angle up quit a bit.. don't keep it mounted in one spot unless you don't have the options.. then you'll have to keep them short or add something to them that makes it stand out.. like this one I...

    First attempt at making a video..

    Your video gives me nausea. • GoPro Hero 2 is not known for low light, so internally the software increases the sensors light sensitivity-- the downside, noise aka grain. That's what you're seeing. • Your video is 4 minutes of what? I don't get it. • Why did you speed it up? What's the...

    Let's talk brakes.

    This is what I was looking for! Can you elaborate on the highlighted bit? Won't pumping the piston out break the seal or force it out of the caliper? I've always been told never to pump the brakes if the caliper isn't attached to the rotor.. :confused:

    Let's talk brakes.

    Well.. with cars, I do a lot more like lubing slider pins, cleaning the hub, etc.. so I'm sure there's more to the maintenance side of things than that on a bike.. even at only 20,000km. I know there's no slider pins as it's a closed design caliper, but the dust seals on the calipers might...

    Let's talk brakes.

    I've never changed the brakes on any of the motorcycles that I've owned. This is the first bike that I'll be switching to some EBC HH pads on front/rear.. bike is an '06 VFR 800 with 20,000km. I know how to do it, and the mechanics and what not involved, but do I need to do anything different...

    No Right Turn Before 9am.

    Every ticket provides traction to fight! A conviction is a conviction on your record according to insurance companies. The worst that can happen is you pay the fine that's on the ticket. The best is, you get off. What do you have to lose? Except some time in court.
