    Couch shopping for a new bike

    Overpriced, but... https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/city-of-toronto/2016-triumph-street-triple-rx-for-sale/1502202486 Got my 2015 Rx at 1,200km for $9,500 in 2017.

    Insurance quote help

    Thanks for the explanation. I ended up switching insurance companies and saving a little over $1,100/year. I'm switching from All state to Desjardins. The rates with Desjardin were really good - worth me switching even though my policy recently renewed. I'm now paying $65/mth (from $120) for...

    Insurance quote help

    My insurance policy renewed in June, but I've decided the savings from switching may be worth cancelling with my current provider. I don't quite understand all the bells and whistles that come with various insurance packages, so I'm wondering if there is any opportunity to save some money but...

    2019 Renewal - Increase? Allstate? Is this a joke?

    Just got my renewal notice in the mail (allstate). I have clean record. House: up $45 or so /mth. Now paying just under $120/mth for a 780sqft bungalow. no claims. ever. Car: this also makes no sense to me. Was paying $1,650 for the VW when I had two cars insured...then it increased when I...

    Do you buy used or new? Why?

    I've only ever purchased used. IMO it's not worth paying full price for something I can't ride year round. Depending on previous owner savings can be huge. I got burned on my last used bike purchase and had to spend hundreds to make it safe to ride. I got a good deal on my current bike and...

    LED headlight options

    Thank you all for the replies. I think i'm going to stay away from LED bulbs as I don't really want to blind oncoming traffic, and absolutely hate getting blinded myself. I've decided to give these bulbs a try. Price seems reasonable too...

    LED headlight options

    I may just try getting Osram Unlimited bulbs to replaced the OEM ones. My bikes runs normal lights. The current bulbs light up yellowish. Both headlights turn on with the bike, and when i use high beams, both lights get brighter. This means I'd need two HID ballasts with really nowhere to...

    LED headlight options

    I did consider HID, but not sure where I'd place the ballasts. I have dual headlights and no place to mount/hide the ballasts. My old ninja had HIDs and mounting the ballasts was a pain. Not to mention the slim ballasts crapped out often. I'm under the assumption that LEDs with fans will likely...

    LED headlight options

    I'd need two for my bike, so the Philips will end up costing quite a bit. I did research them quite a bit, and agree that they seem to be the only true replacement. Would you say the Philips provide more light than the standard halogen bulbs? I haven't been able to find any Canadian...

    LED headlight options

    Hey all, I've been toying the idea of swapping out my halogen bulbs for LEDs. I find my current halogen bulbs are just too dim at night, and note so noticeable during the day. I've never had LED lights until recently with my new car. It's amazing how noticeable it is during the day, and so...

    DIY valve adjustment?

    I'm not a mechanic of any kind and did my own valve inspection on my ZX6R after being quoted $300 for inspection and $900+tax for adjustment if needed. It took me a long time to get the job done. I measured three times before writing down my readings on a EX/IN template I found online. I had...
