    Weather rant

    People remember when the weather forecast is wrong more than they do when its right. Its a very complicated job that requires a fair bit of schooling in at least math, physics, science and geography. Its a good job, new meteorologists tend to make $30-50K and the ones with experience and in...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    A bit late, but saw you Sat evening in Milton by Thompson and Derry. We had just dropped our bikes off after a nice long ride and getting food. Just wondering if your on here. What modification is that and does it give more power or what? Never seen that before. Picture doesn't really...

    Fuel tank capacity lower than stated?

    Yeah never really thought about it as my other mode of transportation is a pickup, and well almost anything is better than that. Dont do anything special, run 87 octane, no problems (thanks to a previous post) and keep the rpms on the lower end if I can I guess. Don't speed too much, just...

    Fuel tank capacity lower than stated?

    Bah, read this and always assumed the "included" reserve was added to the volume of the main tank. Dont know why I thought this but it makes a lot of sense now, lol. Thanks.

    Fuel tank capacity lower than stated?

    Have a 98 Cbr F3, and read the fuel tank was 20 liters total, being 17 main with a 3 liter reserve. I was always getting 250-300+k on approx 10 liters of fuel or so which I figured to be about half a tank. Well just figured I could get a fair bit more mileage before actually needing fuel, but...

    Gear to get - What to avoid and what to look for.

    Maybe a spine protector to go in the back of your jacket. If you look around you can probably find one for around $40+ or so. Had a friend slide into a curb at a nice speed. They were out of the hospital in a day after being checked over but the doctor told them they would probably be...

    Passed M1 - never Driven a BIKE before - which bike shud i get ?

    Decide after the course. You'll be on 250cc bikes there and there is lots of riding time after to get a bike and enjoy the rest of the season. If you felt really comfortable, maybe bump it up, but a 750 as a beginner bike? No way. Its not people don't trust you when you say you'll be...

    Helmet dropped from waist height

    Agree, it even says this on some manufacturers websites. The padding is designed to cushion your head and slow it down on impact. Once this padding is compacted, its done. Its like popping those bubble wrap bubbles, if nothing was inside to hurt the padding its fine. Now obviously if the...

    Does anyone know a Moto Shop that fill tires with Nitrogen?

    Worked in a tire shop for a season. The common thought there was if your driving fast and hard enough to warrant the switch to Nitrogen, and your just driving on city streets and highways, then your primary concern should be your driving habits. Only reason the owner installed the Nitrogen...

    Why aren't ATVs allow on the streets?

    Hmm, have no idea if this is actually the case or not, we were just more or less talking and we thought that was the way it is, lol.

    Any folks with Asthma?

    It sucks. I have it and thankfully its only a minor case that usually only surfaces when I'm sick. It feels like your suffocating and cant get air. Try breathing like normal but when you inhale, do it through a straw that is small enough that it wont allow you to get a full breath. Continue...

    Why aren't ATVs allow on the streets?

    Had this conversation today at work and it got brought up that a dirt bike can be fitted with the appropriate lights, tires and if platted and insured, be allowed on the streets. So why then cant an ATV which has all the same not be allowed? Tried google and keep getting the rules of where...
