    Help me choose, MV F4 or HP4 or 1199 Panigale R

    That's quite a huge jump from 250 to 1000+, especially after only 1 season of only weekends. I went from a CB450 to a Ninja zx6, and for the first couple months, it was pretty scary. The amount of instant power available is a bit overwhelming. I would vote for the HP4. I like the look, and...

    New grips for my Silverwing

    Ashley from Sturgess Cycle suggested these to me. I'm not a fan of the colour combo, but the do look pretty comfortable. http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/3798/ISO-Grips

    MCN Reviews the 899 Panigale

    I've noticed in a few vids that their productions values, especially sound, is sub-par. The reviewer's voice is overwhelmed by the music or traffic sounds. It seems they shoot with just the camera's on-board mic and then add loads of music post filming.

    Riding in this weather

    May be better to wait, in the cold things can go bad so much faster. Plus, its VERY hard to just ride for only a little bit. If you do go, what temp are your tires rated to? Will you have full gear? Are ALL parts of the parking lot ice free?

    how long for Nexus Pass application review?

    Everyone in a nexus lane must have their own card. This is one of the ways to lose it if I remember correctly.

    Stolen jacket, community alert!

    That made me laugh and tear up at the same time..soo many lost pencils.. OP, there's no chance one of her friends grabbed it accidentally? People do make mistakes and grab what looks like theirs if they're in a rush..:dontknow:

    First Major Long Distance Tour Plan

    That's sort of the plan. I have a 3L Camelbak and electrolyte tablets. The Camelbak is awesome half filled with ice. I've talked to a few family members and read up, and yeah, I think I may need to shave off a couple thousand km. This actually worries me most about everything. I hope I'm not...

    Travel Saturday or Sunday? need experienced Advice

    Either day will be tricky. Depending on how much experience you have in the cold, I would say go as early as you can today. In my books, clear cold weather wins over wet, potentially icy ground. Remember that you will have ALOT less grip, the ground will be very cold. My first time riding sub...

    First Major Long Distance Tour Plan

    Makes sense on doing a few test days in the months before, I hope I'll be able to walk after the first one. I was sort of expecting only to do part of it with you, like you said, you have a lot longer time and alot more planned stops.

    First Major Long Distance Tour Plan

    Honestly, most of the reason was because of MacDoc's thread and route :p. The Grand Canyon is going to be the major destination for me and I wanted to take a different route home, and his looked like a good path. I have traveled VERY little outside of the GTA in my 30 years, and I have alot of...

    First Major Long Distance Tour Plan

    I'll start off with the route that I'm planning. http://goo.gl/maps/HGujj This will be my first tour, major or otherwise. I'm shooting to go late May, early June. I have a 2000 Kawasaki ZX6E that I'm going to use for it. I'm planning on doing a few bigger maintenance things in the months...

    What are my options if bike is considered a write-off?

    I had a similar situation with my ZX6E also with Statefarm. I got rear-ended at a stop sign, bike went down on its left side and cracked a 2 pieces of my fairing and scratched some more. Was going to be a little over 3000 to fix. The shop it was taken to looked at everything, ie) my pegs were...

    Looking for gear advice

    I did that last year with a Tourmaster 2pc rain suit and either a cashmere or a cable knit wool sweater. Only time I wasn't riding was with snow on the ground. Gloves were the biggest issue I had at negative temps. I was using Joe Rocket Nitrogens, waterproof and comfortable, but not the...

    Keep it Canadian, BB-RS1. Very cool idea though.
