I have waterproof gear in case I get caught out. But purposely riding in the rain is about as fun as following a police car.

It's not the bike. I wouldn't drive my convertible with the top down in the rain either.

Sounds like my experience with Dunlops. If the sun doesn't soften it up, I'd try a propane heater, if not a propane torch.

On a related note, I was only able to find mention of solidly mounted phones being legal to operate in Vancouver while driving, but not in Ontario. Does anyone know if the law is any different here? Reason I ask is that Apple Car Play/Android Auto on a built-in screen on your dash is no...

Request disclosure. Then make sure it says that your were observed actually holding the device as opposed to touching the screen while it was solidly mounted to your dash. But if it does, then your best hope is that the office doesn't show at trial. Yes, I know officers are held more accountable...

Even if it wasn't butchered, how many people actually go through the time, effort, and cost of drilling their bolts and safety wiring for casual track days? That just screams ex-race bike.

You'll never know until you try. One of my friends isn't that fast and he always shows up. I usually take it easy and hang back too. We always wait at the next turn to make sure nobody gets left behind.

Well, at least they told him up front instead of taking the car in and then failing him. Lots of shops won't even look at the vehicle until you book it in. On a related note, I've never had a vehicle fail a safety. What happens then? Let's say they did fail him on the 5-year-old tires but he...

So did he have to pay for two safeties?

How long the battery needs to be charged for depends on the battery's capacity (AH rating) and the output amps of your charger. Divide the battery's AH by the charger's output to get a very rough idea of the minimum amount of time needed. On some smart chargers, the amps drop as the battery gets...

Not to minimize their achievements, but it seems to me that as each decade goes by, it's harder and harder for new artists to come up with an original sound that isn't similar to something from the past.

Just saw this. Hopefully @Liberto can provide more deets. https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/classifieds/2007-suzuki-gs-500.1575/

Sorry, I think Charles Manson has him beat.

I've never seen a silver Walter Wolf RG500, but the 400's were definitely available in either blue or silver.

I thought the ones that allow you to cancel only have no penalty if you do it at least a few hours before check-in?

I'll never fly American and/or DFW again. We flew into there at 1:30 PM and were supposed to catch a connecting flight at 6 PM. They kept delaying the departure by 30 minutes at a time until they outright cancelled it at 9 PM and told us they would rebook us on a flight the next morning. If they...

Personally I think the bar position is your issue. I started having the exact same shoulder discomfort on my KTM SMT which is supposed to be my most ergo-friendly bike. But I noticed I was reaching for the bars which stretched my arms and thus shoulders. I rotated them towards me as much as I...

I just returned from San Francisco flying AC. Normally I avoid them, but they were the only choice for non-stop by the time I finalized my plans. I got an email just 2 hours before the flight was supposed to depart YYZ that it was delayed by 1 hour with an associated 1-hour delayed arrival at...

Same thing with people moving close to race tracks.

They actually came in that colour brand new, as far as I recall - kind of a silver-ish finish.
