Was she still texting when she pulled up beside you? This is a dangerous habit that people can't seem to shake. Lucky for you that it came out OK.

That looks like damage from flexing the tire when it was frozen, think stacked 30 high in a container. Probably occurred before you bought the tire. Go back to where you bought them.

Dunlops always seem to be stiffer than Metzeler/Pirelli, which is OK if you like that sort of thing. Q3's let you feel every bit of the road, even at 32 psi. Feels like if I ride over a dime I can tell if it's heads or tails. The Metzeler M5 glides over and you don't even notice it at the same...

Just as another point of reference, Finish Line race bike insurance (www.competition.ca) quoted me $300 for a track bike and $5k of stuff.

I would only recommend bringing your own bike if it was track ready. Doing all that stuff to prep your street bike plus doing the course plus maybe crashing and wrecking your bike, nah rent theirs.

Here we go again with the language. Too much slack could cause partial DISENGAGEMENT. Don't confuse these guys all over again. Cable slack, clutch engaged. Period. If you pull in the lever and the bike wants to continue the journey, that's partial disengagement, which can happen if the cable has...

I could probably find you a pair for $75 used that will pass a safety. Bridgestone or Metzeler. But if you're buying the bike to ride it for a while why not get a new pair? Pete's, Blue Streak, Good Wheel Motors, Canada's Motorcycle all have good deals.

Bimmer, I saw the whole thing firsthand. She is more Kate than Keira BUT what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - just sayin'.

The Krown guys at Creditstone and 7 did our 7x14 for about $100 when it was new. Well worth the cost, we use it year 'round.

JCH91 - I'm not sure about the others, but for CSS and for FAST you can use your own bike and gear, or you can choose to use theirs. Of course it's a few bucks more to use their stuff but for a lot of people it makes sense. Any course is better than no course, so research the locals first and...

We're back. She did really well. After 2 minutes on the S1000RR she was fine. Progressed a HUGE amount in the 2 days we were there, but I'll let her tell that story. Glad to be home but really missing that Vegas heat!

I have one of those locks if anyone needs it. Does not fit a 2 5/16 ball trailer hitch very well but would be good for smaller balls (haha).

If you feel the need to draw attention to yourself, then loud pipes may stop your ego deflation issues. I always remember a biker buddy in the process of receiving 4 or 5 tickets in one stop - the officer said to the second one on the scene - "first I heard him, then I saw him". Lesson learned...

Let's get back on topic. I've used a black urethane and covered with a few coats of clear. Came out really black and looks wet. Carboncat is correct, most of the "car" colours have some other colours in them and are not really black.

Pace salsa in the HOT version. Oil if I pass a Wally World.

Any black with clear is going to look good. The OEMs always seem to have a bit of flake to make things more interesting. Have a look at the Dodge Challenger black, it has some flake but still looks basic black from a distance. House of Kolors is really nice stuff, if you choose that and get a...

Well guys, if I don't come back you'll know what happened. Died in my sleep. :violent1: BimmerMike, I hope you're satisfied.

The GSXR 1000's with the twin GP style megaphones have failed, I also saw a BMW 1000 with the full Akro short system fail. So I'm thinking Hot Bodies would be a "no" unless it was corked up somehow.

New or used? Are you new to bikes? Mechanically inclined? Unlimited budget? Personally I think the Daytona is a waste of money. The Daytona R has so much more for only a few additional dollars that it would be crazy to get the standard. Like getting a Panigale and not going for the S version...

Down boy! They have not made that announcement yet.
