    BMW motorrad asking for a donation for demo rides

    Back In 2010 I demo'd a K1300S at BMW Toronto. The $20 was collected as discussed, but the demo was far from a "slow parade" once we got going out of the citydemo. We rode up to Durham and returned on the 401/DVP. I got to test it very well. ;) Definitely a great demo, and bike. We were gone...

    2stroke vs 4stroke dilemma -service/maintenance $$$ perspective.

    Yes, thats true, But also the late model 2015+ WR's are actually using the same engine as the YZ250FX, just different gearing and in USA/Canada they are detuned with the std factory ECU. $USD100 buys you the GYTR competition kit, plug that in, remove the airbox snorkel, pipe restrictor and...

    2stroke vs 4stroke dilemma -service/maintenance $$$ perspective.

    I'm still a reletive noob in the dirt bike world, and I have a 4T. reading my owners manual for my WR250F, the service interval for valve checks for example is 5000km for "regular" use, and 1000 kms for "Competitive use". I picked up the bike used with 200kms on it so pretty much know its...

    Street Legal Yamaha YZ250 2-stroke?

    So ATV's are not street legal at all? I remember seeing the Law enforcement using ATVs along the Scarborough bluffs many years ago. (about 10?) The LEO was actually riding on the sidewalk near the Guild Inn. But I have seen many ATVs on the road in rural areas.

    What bike garners the most street respect?

    That really is it. Its different or unique. When I rode with friends with slick looking late model bikes (Ninja 1000, R1, and 2017 GSXR 1000) my old Triumph Street Triple got a lot of attention at gas stations and lunch stops from young and old. It didnt look like the "run of the mill" sport...

    wow. Interesting story, how they were killed and for why. I remember this when it happened, but never knew much on the back story.

    Is tail light with integrated turn signals legal in Canada

    totally agree. Also tinted windows in cars that are more than legally allowed. we usually see those are involved in crime after the fact when they are trying to find the perpetrators.

    My bike was hit in a parking lot

    911 is for F'n Life and Death Emergencies! DO NOT tie up those lines with general calls to the police service FFS! In your friends case, I am sure she called them just after it happened, so that's understandable for that type of incident. This incident was in a parking lot and no one's life...

    My bike was hit in a parking lot

    thats a good point. Remember when that Ragu fellow tried that insurance scam on the WRX driver a few years ago? cops brushed him off etc. Then he posted the video, it got some traction in the media, and then the cops were forced to follow up and do their job...

    My bike was hit in a parking lot

    Just wanted to make a comment.. One of the reasons I had installed a bike alarm with pager was not only to Deter theft , but for "parking hit and run situations" like this and curious 'bike sitters' . The idea would be that if knocked over the alert would go out to me and also the alarm would...

    No problem. Traffic in this sub forum is slow.. I'd love to come, but have other plans this year. I've already pencilled it in for next year.. (assuming you host it around the same time of year)

    Haggling on used motorcycles

    Agreed. Price it right, don't give it away, but don't "kijiji inflate" it too much. I sold my bike the first warm weekend this spring. Buyer actually messaged me a few weeks later to thank me for the bike and to ask a couple questions. I even created a new yahoo email and kijiji account to...

    Ever gone from a 1000 to a 600 maybe a 675 or 750?

    Yep, when from a 1300 down to a 675 a few years ago. Its not all about the CC's.
