Hyundai's fair well on paper when you compare the Hyundai spec sheets vs. the competition. If your an enthusiast and you drive them back to back, it is a totally different story. It is not for everyone, and certainly not for me. I have seen some catastrophic failures on the Hyundai 2.0t...

Make sure you have theft insurance coverage, make sure your bike isn't the nicest one in the underground and take reasonable precautions. I had mine parked at my condo that is in the same area. No problems. The same goes for the majority of the other bikes in the underground. I do know of one...

When I was going insured with Jevco, they asked about auto and motorcycle accidents separately. I was told by the broker that auto accidents are not factored in for motorcycle insurance premium calculation. Of course an infraction or charge stemming from an accident will count against you for...

You don't need to have the address on the ownership match the address on the insurance slip. You need to prove you live at the address on the insurance slip if you expect the insurance company to pay out if the need should arise. For example they will ask for bank statements that show the...

From first hand experience, it is possible to get US insurance on an ontario plated vehicle with ontario ownership. You will need a drivers license for the state that you reside in. Note that I use the word reside, you must be a resident or at least show an local address. If your plan is to...

Braided rear lines? gsxr front end on a less stiff SV chassis. I can think of a better way to spend that money.

Im not an expert, but have done my due dilligence on setting up an SV. My setup is very simliar to what Dino has, minus the bodywork, aluminum stay and other race goodies. The M4 full exhaust is the system of choice for these engines, but I got my dale walker for free. I use the pirelli dragon...

The data gathered from such a test probably won't have much signifigance. The unique characterisitics of each engine, each drive cycle, each lube oil will be different for every individual on the road. Completing such a test would give you a very small data set relative to the total number of...

GWS brother. Hope you heal up quick.

I wouldn't worry about it, K20 motors are reliable. HM oil contains seal swelling agents in the additive pack, but "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Stay on top of change intervals, use the correct oil as per manufacturer recommendation, and keep it topped off - your good to go

It could be, but I can't get a straight answer from the chemical engineers that know the product and the answer to your question. I have my own thoughts on this, but it is purely speculation so I won't comment here.

Lube oil analysis as a function of time (or mileage) shows a large initial spike in wear metals at the early hours/miles of the lube oil life - the units are wear metals concentration versus unit time. It will then trends downward with time/mileage until it levels off for a period of time until...

Neither of the two is "better" than the other. They can both be useful diagnostic indicators of lube oil condition. For example, mileage wouldn't tell you if you had a fuel dilution problem because of a bad 02 sensor, bad t-stat, etc. Similiarly, oil colour on a diesel rig would be black after...

Hope this isn't a repost... one day I will own a supermoto.... the action starts around 1:30 http://youtu.be/qmaLVZjZ5z8

I paid $4 USD shipped for mine. Get all the major US and CAN channels. Mounted to the balcony door in my condo facing south. yes, four dollars. shipped.

Scion tC is loosely based on the camry. A lot of the mechanical components are the same or similiar. Pretty bulletproof.

Wind mobile customer service is a nightmare. I never thought it could get worse than the customer service i have received from Rogers in the past, but be very careful with Wind. They have been stealing outright from my sister because they suspended a monthly credit she was receiving due to an...

From what I have seen first hand, General Dynamics doesn't offer a great deal of engineering experience outside of the typical "make sure this product meets the regulatory requirements, then fill out this pile of paperword etc. etc." Generally speaking, mechanical engineering jobs with that...

Sorry to see you go so soon. I enjoyed your posts as you already know :P I can't remember exactly what you were riding, IIRC it was a GS500... If your just going to tool around town a DRZ400SM or similar bike would be one of my suggestions. If you want a bike that can be two bikes in one, and...

I like. This is on my to do list:
