My personal opinion is that cleaning the chain is more important than lubing it. The o-rings are lubricated internally and I believe it's the accumulation of dirt and grime that wears down the chain and sprockets I'm in the middle of an experiment where I'm just cleaning the chain on my...

Muc-Off has a similar product and Royal Distributing has some in stock: https://royaldistributing.com/products/muc-off-high-performance-waterless-wash

Of course you'd know that. $22 at Princess Auto for a 2'x4' sheet. Might be a cost effective solution: https://www.princessauto.com/en/24-x-48-in-18-gauge-expanded-cold-rolled-steel-sheet/product/PA0009055153

If the Abba stand falls through (metaphorically, not literally, I hope), I've used a trail stand to remove the rear wheel in a pinch. I'm in town for a few more days and can ride over with it anytime and lend you a hand if it's single use. I heard your MIL makes good pierogis... If you need...

Thanks @adri. I suspect I may be SOL here... :cry:

Damn, that's a beautiful Bonneville! Congrats @nakkers! In keeping with that spirit, there's an apparel company with the same name as the 2 wheel and 4 wheel corporation that sells some clothing you would probably look good in while riding or driving: Triumph clothing

Hey maybe you or someone else will know the answer to this: I desperately want an item that's currently being sold in the UK, but due to the pesky territorial rules of the franchise I'm buying from, I'm only allowed to buy it from Canada, and same problem as @danp, they're out of stock here...

I find eBay is a good way to get around the Canadian distributor's territorial restrictions and poor stocking at their warehouses. This one's in the UK: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/334124510278 Only problem is that sometimes the prices can be quite high after shipping and duty (this one above is...

My Arai has a neat feature, if you remove the cloth covering the foam cheekpads, the foam itself has lightly glued multiple layers which allows you to peel 5mm strips off of them to make them thinner so you can customize the fit without throwing out your original cheekpads to buy thinner ones...

Ah I see the reasoning behind wanting a new lid... you have helmet envy. I'm an anteater myself. Are we still talking about motorcycles here...?

In the context of this thread, I would have told you you have an Intermediate Oval headshape. Perhaps one that requires proprietary fitment of thinner aftermarket cheek pads...

If MP is a young rider, then that guy's got a lot of hard miles on him. ;) Kidding, MP. You don't look a day over 40!

Does the "something more fun" start with a "P" and end in a "ierogis"?

Untrue: https://agvsport.com/blog/helmets/do-motorcycle-helmets-expire-if-not-used.html But if you need an excuse to buy a new lid, we'll all come up with reeeeally good excuses why you need a new helmet: "Paint is fading on the old lid which makes it a safety concern cause cagers can't see...

Yeah, I first saw that on the retro-styled ROOF Boxer helmets: LS2 also has one like that: In carbon too! https://fortnine.ca/en/ls2-ff901-advant-x-carbon-solid-helmet

True. Unless you want to empty your pockets and shell (pun intended) out for a carbon fibre one. Schuberth C5 Carbon MSRP $1750 CAD.... *low whistle* There's some AGV carbon modulars on F9 retailing around $700-$800 (discounted and sizing is limited), and the HJC RPHA 91 carbon modular is...

Which ones are you looking at?

Perhaps. @Pilot888, how long has this been happening? If it's over a long period of time, might not be the battery as it may have kaput by now. Also, if it only happens on cold starts but not on warm starts then it may point to another issue. An easy test is to jump the bike using a functional...

Everybody knows Klim makes cheap stuff. If you had bought something more expensive your bike wouldn't have pollen down.

The ramp trailer I pull for work has this kind of chicken wire (but thicker and stronger) covering over the ramp. Might be a bit thinner, sturdier and offer more grip than plywood, not sure what it's called:
