We all become a bit stuck on our own preference for a machine to ride. Sometimes tastes or requirements change. Must be a heavy thing to have a life altering event make changes necessary for you. Would any of us want to give up all the sensations we've come to enjoy & crave ?. Anyone who...

Hey... I am one of those seniors in Waterloo Region. I do have the occasional "senior moment", but never the wrong way on a roundabout. Well... not that I can remember ??. And I'd have an excuse... I'm British. I do have to agree a bit though. Out here all the old farmers do seem to think it's...

I'm immensely better at handling bad drivers than I used to be. I think the first step is realizing that at times we are all bad drivers. Everyone makes a mistake sometimes. Second step would be realizing that there is no percentage in it for you to escalate any situation up a notch. I will...

Seems to me that the 1%ers were the ones feeling "entitled "in that scenario. There is no law that says we all have to let a bunch of knuckle dragging, pimps, drug dealers, & extortionists, with bad attitudes & matching hygiene take over a road like they own it. I've had to pass them myself. If...

Don't understand all this reference to "cagers". I'm quite sure that 99% of us drive cars on a daily basis. That would make us all "cagers" no ??. Plus it's a bit of silly "biker slang" that's out of date. "We just want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man". Peter...

So now that you've all been to the great yearly spectacle at the International Centre, I'm genuinely interested in how much you enjoyed it Did you get great deals ?. Was it worth the admission fee ?. Did you see anything spectacular ?. How easy was it to view the new bikes ?. How pleasant was...

They are all really expensive because they do things that are only required in competition when piloted by the most gifted riders in the world. That's a lot of cabbage if you just want bragging rights at Starbucks. Who on here is entering a GP anytime soon ??. Are you superbly gifted ??. Don't...

Jeeezz... now look what I've started. Oh well... perhaps everyone will get that out of their system & not have to bring it up over & over. I think that's why other sites have had a specific thread for it.

So... Maybe I'm dyslexic. Who made that rule anyway ??. I'm like "Johnny" BRMC. I'm rebelling ! .

1, 2, & half of 3... I never took a hiatus. Maybe why I'm twice divorced. I decided to see what these new(er) bikes were like. Partly from getting bored with the scene around H-Ds & Brits in the mid 90's. Loved the reliability & speed. Plus lights & brakes that worked. Was tired of chasing lost...

Yes... but I don't plan to do it every time like some people. Just wanted to give an example of what it would look like if we all did. Of course my list is less impressive in that it is devoid of all out super sports & exotic Euro brands. Funny that no one has listed a Tomos moped, or a...

What's with that anyway ??. Especially if you've sold them !! . Do you ever delete any after a decade or two ?. Is there a prize for having owned the most ?. Maybe points for certain models ?. I have seen on other sites where they have a special thread for that for those that are so inclined. I...

Jeeezzz !!!.... Fargin cup holders ???. How about a nice Kleenex dispenser ?. A nice little trash holder ?. A 25c. coin holder in case you park at a meter. Ashtray anyone ?. Make up mirror ?. Fuzzy dice ?.

I used to go every year @ one time. Then it just got stale. Same shite always. To drive from the Kitchener area & waste the time & $$ is just not worth it. Took a break for a few years. Went back & still crap. I'm not into cruiser clubs, Jesus clubs, wannabe tough guy clubs, etc.. Mostly old...

NO IT SUCKS. !!!. Good luck getting a chance to "sit on & get a feel". Lucky to even be able to see them with the crowds around them. As far as deals on any gear or parts, you'd have had better luck checking out your local shops for clearance items B4 they take it to the show. At least you...

I was riding English & American bikes when the Katana came out. My friends & I thought it was hideous. Now in retrospect I think it was ahead of it's time, & fuggin' brilliant. Not to mention the performance compared to what was on offer at the time. When you look at all the raptor/transformer/...

The original styles of bar end mirrors such as Stadium & Napoleon work very well IMO. Plus they look more appropriate on older bikes, retro styled bikes, & cafe bikes. More so on drag/flat bars, clipons, & clubman/ace bars. It's these newer style little round ones that are of quite limited use.

I don't want to "keep" anyones "gate". You can enjoy "this hobby" anyway you want. I exceed the speed limit every time I operate any motorized vehicle. I never said a bike with disc brakes can't have character. I rode a 850 Norton Commando for 22 yrs. It had a disc brake up front & had more...

. I don't think they make 500cc touring bikes anymore, do they ??. Just because you can buy a bike close to a full on competition track bike doesn't mean you need it, or that you can ride it. As for electronics, MotoGP guys are riding in MOTO GPS !! You are not. Riding around on a Panigale...

'48 Knucklhead ??. I believe they they only made them 'till '47. '48 was the first year for the Panhead wasn't it ?. Perhaps someone else has mentioned this already. Haven't read the whole thread. Not a big H-D fan really. Have owned one in the distant past & ridden a few others. The odd one...
