    Ontario should make winter tires mandatory.

    Doubt that it would make any difference. Be aware that you might need a few more pounds of air in the 215 as opposed to the 235, your tire guys can tell you what's recommended. Or go by your owner's manual info if 16s were an option. Good move, the narrower tire will work better in snow.

    Best trackday tire without warmers?

    +1 on Q3's. The Pirelli SC SP (V2) may ultimately take the heat better but they take a LOT longer to warm up than the Dunlops. I'd rather slide around on hot tires than on cold, YMMV.

    Need safety wiring done in mississauga

    If you're only going to use it for track days then check the rules for the provider you plan to use. You may not HAVE to safety wire anything. But I agree to be safe it's a good idea to do the crankcase drain plug, oil filter and oil filler cap.

    Some oil (i think) by the gear lever

    Looks like the residue from a fuel leak, not oil. My internet diagnosis skills are not the greatest however. Rub your finger on it and smell then report back. What kind of bike?

    Who has the best BMW service department?

    I've bought a few bikes from Serpa, and dealt with Open Road in the past before the name change. Same great techs still work there, my service experience has been better than Budd's but that was a one-off that might have caught John on a bad day. Give Serpa a try if they are that close to home...

    Front Sprocket - What is this?

    The rubber dampens the noise of the chain on the sprocket. You'll notice the difference with the new (naked) one. No big deal, not required, just that the original is quieter. And costs more.

    2007 695 Monster HID problem

    Ha! Like I said. The guy knew what he was talking about so the components must be bad. It's still challenging to diagnose over the internets.

    Calabogie Tips? (places to eat, buy food, etc.)

    There is food at the track now, she is open 8 to 3 and food is reasonably priced and decent. You can also get sandwiches and other take out stuff at Mumford's in the morning. Not sure about groceries but there may be a place next to the LCBO, as others have said.

    Best (read: Cheapest) way to paint track bike

    The absolute cheapest way would be to leave it as is. Vinyl wrap is OK, and maybe Plasti-Dip, but be aware, if you paint it with spray bombs nobody will want to paint it afterwards with proper paint. Oh, and there's always the Rustoleum method of paint by roller. Lots of choices.

    Shipping Rates from the US - Online Parts

    They charge more to ship to Canada because they are forced to go to the post office or UPS or whatever service they select in person and fill out the forms for export/import. A real pain in the *** compared to just printing a label and having the mail service pick up. The cheapest solution is to...

    Track/Race Bike. What to look for?

    That works for Canada Customs, but I got pulled for having a US bike with a US title and no proof that it was exported to Canada. US Immigration could care less about the Y38, as far as they are concerned if you try to bring it in they will impound it. But if you're nice, they let you do the 48...

    Crossing the Border + DOG

    Just make sure his shots are up to date, same info you need to take him to petsmart for grooming. Other than that, just make sure he doesn't bite US immigration officials. That would be bad.

    Buying track bike.. do you have to take it in to MTO to transfer ownership?

    Seller has to sign the ownership, as others have stated. Even with a bill of sale they just ask you to write the sale price on the UVIP, which you can get for $20 when you go to change it over. The best reason to have the ownership is in case it is stolen and then recovered - how do you prove...
