    What to know about buying a track bike

    Yeah I read it, and the only real overlap was where I agreed you were wrong, not sure what more you want from me. In all seriousness, not everyone wants a $20k bike to START riding track. You can probably pick up a well setup sv650 for under $4k with everything needed as a package...

    What to know about buying a track bike

    You're completely right, you are about to get criticism. 1. Cost. You can generally sell a track bike for what you paid after using it. 2. I'm by no stretch of the imagination a fast racer and I crashed a couple weekends ago because the bike's suspension was setup for my son's weight. I...

    What to know about buying a track bike

    As far as mods are concerned, start with suspension or clipons/rearsets. The clipons/rearsets are to make the bike more comfortable for you, and cheaper when you crash. Suspension mods are expensive, but worth it. Keeping your tires in contact with the asphalt is precisely what you want...

    What to know about buying a track bike

    I completely agree with either the sub500 class (ninja 400, r3), or an sv650. Take your size into consideration when choosing. Under 150lbs, R3. 150lbs ->190lbs, Ninja400. North of 190lbs, either an sv650 or an exercise bike. Don't worry about being slow, what's way worse is when you become...

    New driving laws effective July 1, 2025

    Law of unintended consequences. You put in stop signs to slow traffic and prevent accidents only to increase the number of rear-enders. Traffic flowing smoothly is a foreign concept to idiot councilors.

    New driving laws effective July 1, 2025

    Just make it harder to get a faking license. I'm tired of hearing that it's a privilege and not a right, but then bestow the privilege on anyone that asks. It is absolutely insane that you're safer in a pressurized cylinder, 30,000 feet in the air while traveling at 700km/h than you are on the...

    RTI Rider Training Institute Guelph

    Do not recommend. Not sure how long this post will be, it's 4:39am and I can't sleep. Anyhow, my son turned 16 in Novemeber and got his M1 about a month ago. There was no point getting it in November given the time constraints of it. So after he got his M1 I looked for the Connestoga rider...

    Cop cars will check for you, and then tell the cop how much the ticket is.

    Please Darwin..

    Both the McDonalds case and this Starbucks case happened at a drive-thru. Just ban all drive-thrus and the problem is solved. It'll also help lower emissions, and obesity as people will actually have to get out of their cars and waddle over to the poison dispensery.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Replaced the torque converter in my sister's 2017 Escape. What a hateful fcuking car it is to work on. Every damn bolt is a bi+ch bolt. Unquestionably the worst designed car as far as repairs are concerned that I've ever personally had to deal with. You would think that a car company that...

    Are you Rotella or Motul?

    Rotella T6 for years in all street and race bikes. Stocked up when Danté and I were in the States about a month ago. Will probably buy a couple more jugs at Canadian Tire with that promo. Thanks.

    Royal Enfield 650 (repeated) rear brake failures

    There was a video? @mimico_polak although I agree that most people are useless they should strive to be less so. To replace a single bolt with another bolt shouldn't even be up for discussion, though sadly here we are. I also agree that people shouldn't be responsible for fixing a poor...

    Royal Enfield 650 (repeated) rear brake failures

    Replace that banjo with a banjo/bleeder combo. See if that helps fix the problem. For under $20 it's cheaper than a trip to the dealer.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Now I support camera vandalization even more than I though possible.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Why don't they put these "community safety zones" on dead end or side streets instead of on a provincial fuickng highway? Same when they build new subdivisions and put a brand new school on what will be a busy road, then put a stupid slow speed limit there. Planners are asshats.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    So my question is why is the fine from speed cameras way higher that if you got it from a cop? I got hit doing 11 over in a 50 zone and rather than the $48.50 that the fine is when a cop hits you with it, I got a bill for $88. Now that I know where the camera is, how much copper and valuable...

    Eastern Canada and CSBK Racing Calendar

    Is there no track between Ontario and Rad Torque that they could add another round to replace RMM? Hit it up on the drive back to Ontario.
