I wouldn't trade my transitions lens for anything. That's why I've stuck with Bell. I believe they are now available for other helmet brands though. It's awesome that the thought of changing visors doesn't even occur to me. Doesn't matter where I am, street or track. The visor does its job and...

My premium only ever goes up =T

Nice setup! I was contemplating something very similar. However, I think I'm just going to go into the floor of the garage with lag bolts and lag shields. This house is being torn down soon so my landlord won't mind. Once I move I will probably do what you did. Did yours come with the hitch...

Are we watching the same video? Truck had plenty of space left and aft and if he is any kind of aware then he also knew there was a ramp there. I can't see for myself the vantage point but it's likely he could tell there were vehicles coming down that ramp. He had plenty of reason he just...

I'm not generalizing truck drivers so no need to get defensive there buddy. I'm criticizing this particular truck driver for blocking the merging lane. He had an available left lane or he could have slowed down. And I know what slowing down means for a transport but he had the space and the...

Agreed that this was totally avoidable but why did the car take off after being rear-ended? The driver didn't look very competent but technically he didn't do anything wrong. That truck driver was an *******.

It used to be relatively uncommon for me to see someone signalling the wrong direction. Now it's every other day and often times involves a turn from the center or opposite lanes. But misaligned headlights are definitely annoying. My buddy's bike is like that and it lights up all of the highway...

I bought it lightly used for $350. It was the only one on kijiji in Ontario that I could find so I jumped on it.. I think the clever part of this tool is the design of the mount/de-mount bar (hanging off to the right of the pic there). The bead breaker also has a nice anti-marring add-on to...

Tired of paying someone else to change my tires...

Ah... Are you referring to the patch job? I had Ted @ Rosey Toes do it because a couple of nearby shops told me they don't patch MC tires. I watched and I don't think any steps were missed. It's just a different type of patch than a mushroom.

Was the plug originally rusty in colour or is that something else? After 10 years I'm not surprised to see the cracking. I've had tires half that age which cracked all over. I ended up having my tire patched. It was such a tiny hole that it wasn't even worth reaming out to put a mushroom on...

Thanks for the replies. I understand the trepidation. Is anyone aware of any actual cases of catastrophic failure due to patches? The puncture I've got is literally pinhole sized. I'm looking for facts in an attempt to do my due diligence.

Has anyone tracked a patched tire? I have a tiny puncture in the center tread of a brand new Q3 and it'd be a shame to replace it. Personally, I'm not that worried about a proper mushroom patch failing but maybe there's more to be considered if subjecting the tire to track stresses which I plan to?

Isn't that pretty much what they're for? Aside from that though, it's an opportunity to try out different types of bikes that may influence your buying decision down the road even if you're not planning to buy immediately.

Kinda reminds me of Akira's bike

If you're a purist who chooses to eschew all distractions while riding then that's great and I respect that but it's also irrelevant. Distractions that take your eyes off the road may technically be "dangerous" but the real issue is the length of time that your eyes spend away from the road...

Thanks. I really want to try out the XSR900. It doesn't show up on their online calendar though?

Watched Batman v Superman. Disappointing. Visually awesome but the story was terrible.

I like the idea. People are going to use their phones while riding no matter what. Might as well make it a better and safer experience. Like giving out condoms in school.
