    New Rider from Saskatchewan

    C`mon in.. Welcome. Your choice of bikes should be OK, non-intimidating with easy to access power, not too heavy with low seat heights. Do a quick look around pre rides, fluid levels, tire pressure and condition, any leaks, brake wear, chain, battery etc., they`re all quick to do and you get to...

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    And before that it was Nelson`s, owned by John Nelson who got Shannonville going. I bought my first bike there, beautiful red CB 350F in June `73. Used to hang around there a lot, great shop, run by good guys heavily into racing. Anyone know what happened to Stan Forrest, English guy who sold...

    What are you reading?

    I`ve just started " My Next Breath " by Jeremy Renner. His memoir of his Jan. `23 accident, getting run over by his 14000 LB. Snowcat he was operating at his Tahoe property. He screwed up and paid the price. He chronicles the incident, rescue, treatment and rehab. Horrific injuries, 38 broken...

    Great experience at Ottawa-area dealership

    That sounds just like the phase that H-D went through, not all that long ago selling bikes. Kinda` apples/oranges comparo, a bit ironic.

    VRRA at Mosport this weekend

    I read that some Team Obsolete bikes will be on track. Ex Pasolini Benelli 350/4, Ago`s MV 500 triple and Ex factory HD XR 750. The MV and Harley are worth going alone, I`ve seen them a few times. Wonder if the RC166, 250 Honda six will show? I`ve seen it go at Mosport and Laguna Seca...stunning.

    Kawi 500cc Hybrid

    I know the name, don`t recall which CW I saw him. East, West or the shorter lived North store, N side of Steeles, just W of Yonge.

    Kawi 500cc Hybrid

    Not certain about other brands, but H-D Financial offers rates at 12.19% to 13.19% over 96 months, depending on your credit score and purchase of the extended service plan. They have $5B in loans out there now,...WT ever loving F ? That could give service departments a go for the money.

    Kawi 500cc Hybrid

    Kawasaki is offering a 5 Grand cash credit on those if you take their financing. Maybe a bit before their time or they just want to unload a turd no one wants.

    Harley new CEO

    There`s some good reading over on www.advrider.com It`s certainly an interesting process, who knows if pizza/golf guy can do better. H-D soon has a new 6 grand Sprint model coming, will it improve things or will it remain nailed to the sales floor like the Street series did? Or the Pan-Am...

    Is it just me?

    It`s not Suzuki Madura fugly and certainly not a looker like a `69 Bonneville. And it`s no more a real Beezer than a new Indian is a real Scout. Meh.

    2025 Insurance quote reality check please

    True enough, I still stand firm though. They will do anything to get out of paying and have the means to do it.

    2025 Insurance quote reality check please

    Insurance companies don`t give a flying fook about people. Maybe in a `60`s Allstate commercial world...possibly. Any angle to give you the horn, they will. It`s always about the money.

    Michelle Duff

    I met Mike Duff when he was doing rebuilding work at his shop in Brampton, around `75 or so. A friend needed work on a Kawi triple, he was quite engaging and you just knew this was the place. Many years later I met Michelle at the Sportbike Rally in Parry Sound, around `96-`97, at the big Sat...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    It may get drivers, possibly, to be aware of anything on two wheels, maybe. Hyper aware.. not a chance. All a car has become is another platform for imbeciles to f**k about with a phone. The majority content of vehicle ads is connectivity and electronic nannies to save your dumb ass when you get...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    All I ever see on e-bikes around Kawartha`s/Lindsay are druggie/dirtbag douc**bags flying around with zero compliance to any traffic laws or self preservation. License, insurance, plate and helmet should be required.

    Hockey players acquitted

    That never worked for a whole lotta` Pro motorcycle racers, away from the track. Some stories I`ll have to keep private. ;)

    Hockey players acquitted

    I`ve known three women that told me about women`s stag parties, they were there. Male strippers and escorts to get it on with any willing women. In a room full of totally hammered women, that was most of them...anything went. Women far surpass men when it comes to drunken debauchery, no question...
