When selecting a de-greaser, always read the label carefully. Some are corrosive. Like the above poster I have used Simple Green for decades with excellent results.

Things must be much worse at Harley then is being reported. If this is the drivel that's coming from their marketing department, it's simply a matter of time before the company starts circling the drain. What's next? Harley sewing and coffee machines? This must be a joke. Looking at that...

This is a fascinating chart. I am puzzled of the unique properties a 2010 FJR1300 possesses. Apparently while riding an FJR your chances of being a victim of an uninsured motorist increases by a whopping 45%. This kind of data from insurance companies is truly invaluable. I suspect all you...

I just signed the petition. It is extremely well thought out and written. Well done.

Do your part folks, fill out the Ontario insurance survey. I did mine today. Every complaint about our various issues may help, you never know. "I have both a car and motorcycle. There are very few motorcycle insurers in Ontario to choose from. My current car insurer does not insure...

How about this. We need increased competition and choices from additional companies insuring bikes. Insurance companies should not be allowed to cherry pick which vehicles they insure. In other words, if they want to insure cars in Ontario, they should also have to offer insurance for bikes...

Castrol GP MC oil is SG rated. The SG rated oils are high in ZDDP additive (Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates) Look it up if you don't know what it is. SG rated oils came out in 1988. This API rating has been superseded many times over by now. An SG rated oil is particularly good for older air...

Unbelievable. $2K for a 40 year old beater. I guess we shouldn't complain about the high insurance rates we have to pay here in Ontario.

I am curious how you came to this conclusion. I have compared at least 4 brands of foam plugs to my custom ones. None of them are as quiet. Some foam plugs are very comfortable, and I may switch out the custom plugs on a 8 or 10 hour ride. The customs can be tiring after many hours of use. But...

You should contact the vendor who sold you the plugs at the show. They should redo the mold they took of your ear and make you another set for free. D

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt is very alarmed. Unfortunately he is not alarmed enough to actually release any useful information on the causes and circumstances of any of these accidents. Perhaps we could all learn something from these tragedies if only the OPP could expend a little more effort in...

Folks. Earphones with rubber or foam tips are junk. They don't block sufficient wind and engine noise. Most likely you will turn up the volume just to overcome the noise. The proper solution is professionally fitted custom earphones. I purchased a pair years ago from a vendor at the winter MC...

I took a tumble years ago in Durham Region when I braked too hard on a damp road. I slid down the road for 40 feet, and just before I came to a stop, I hit the bumper of a car. No damage to the car other than a paint chip. I was charged with careless. There were NO witnesses. My wife and I...

The cop probably pulled the U turn in order to card some hapless citizen minding his own business while heading home.

The SIU is a complete joke. A total waste of taxes. I believe the charges are all optics. Charging the cop makes it appear that the SIU is actually protecting the public for a change. No doubt they are well aware the cop will only receive a small fine and get 6 demerit point on his license...

I commute to work until the snow flies. (44km rtn, most via 401)

I ordered custom made earplugs from this vendor last year at the Bike show. The earphones are high quality Sennheiser with a custom molded plug permanently glued on. Noise reduction exceeds anything you will get from a foam plug. Due to the reduced wind noise, (and quality earphone) the sound...

Too bad there isn't a video. What a great learning experience it could be on how NOT to ride in a group. A concept totally lost on real bikers and wanna be bikers. Sometimes you just end up being a victim of your own ignorance.

You won't find very many BMW riders complaining about the duolever front ends. There is no front end dive, and perfect stability on bumpy roads on the tightest of curves. The only ones that complain are moto journalists, who we all know are so sensitive, they could easily detect the smallest of...

Plenty survive with permanent brain injuries where a helmeted rider just walks away. Heck I forgot to mention the law suites!
