    What's your favorite gas station?

    So if I enter $20 and fill up $11 worth, it'll hold the $20 for a week and bill $11?

    North York, New Rider - Duc696

    The Duc is a twin, the Japanese SS bikes are four cylinders.

    What's your favorite gas station?

    Shell is great for gas. But annoying that it authorizes $125 for any amount of gas on prepay. I wish I could tell it to do a max of $20. Gassing up a few times per day can use quite a chunk of my credit for a week.

    Guelph - Motorcycle noise by-law coming.

    I occasionally get a mother pulling her small child close to her as I ride by, haha. Most of them return a friendly wave though. Of course, I don't ride a Harley so maybe those are "scarier".

    What video recording equipment to get for street use?

    The GoPro does have weight and pulls the helmet slightly. Haven't tried the others. GoPro is good for mounting to the bike, though.

    I rode my first supersport bike and..

    +1. My F800R or a Street Triple would fit the bill. The wind hits you pretty hard going faster than 100 km/h due to lack of fairing and windscreen. But both get there in the blink of an eye.

    ducati monster review for dummies

    That's true. Monster with termis certainly beats my Beemer's parallel twin with an Akra.

    ducati monster review for dummies

    Hmm. My BMW F800R has a 13.5L tank as well and I'm able to get 250 km per tank. Maybe you Duc riders ride more like hooligans, haha.

    How big is the tank? Or does it vary by model?

    No Polish joke

    I came back to this thread to post the exact same thing. Imagine doing that on a daily basis every time you dismount, haha.

    Wrong gas !!!! :( -_-

    My mistake. I assumed all FI bikes had a knock sensor.

    Wrong gas !!!! :( -_-

    This is not a stupid question; I didn't know either until I found out the hard way that it was fine. If your bike requires 91 but you put in some 87 then don't worry. The bike will compensate and ensure the engine doesn't destroy itself. You might lose a bit of power and efficiency but not a...

    For those of you who filter

    There are already tons of threads about it, legality, what to do, etc. etc. etc. Most people don't care at all. A few don't like it. And very occasionally someone goes apeshit and yells and honks and basically has a temper tantrum like a two year old would. Ignore them and try to move out of a...

    How much grip do you have in the wet?

    Pretty awesome. Though to be fair they don't go that quickly (unless I'm mistaken). Cornering at 20-50 km/h would give much more than at 100-120, I presume.

    Insurance Pemiums decreased again

    My rates actually went down! I'm so happy; they literally went down 2 cents per month. I'm going to take that two cents and put it in a high yield savings account. Thank you insurance companies.

    Her Mom already has a car and is already primary on it.

    Car Insurance Question (Sorry!)

    Update: spoke to my insurance agent. She confirmed that it's a pretty bad idea to not be upfront about who is driving what. Like, colossally bad. And that insurance companies do investigate stuff like that, especially if it's about to cost them hundred of thousands or millions of dollars...

    Car Insurance Question (Sorry!)

    More info after Mom called her insurance company: Mother is now primary driver on both cars. (I didn't think this was possible.) Didn't mention father's absence. People at the dealer and at her work told her that she doesn't need to mention father's absense. Edit: forgot to mention what I sad...

    Car Insurance Question (Sorry!)

    GF is buying a car. Lives at home with her mom. Father lives abroad and only lives at home for three months or so per year. Can GF put her parents at primary and secondary drivers and her as tertiary? Or would she have to be primary or secondary herself. Her Mom currently has a car but I'm not...

    Driving a car in bare feet

    I don't think so. Keep in mind females can be topless in Ontario so the law would apply equally.
