    2004-2005 Kawasaki ZX10r exhaust diameter

    Could anyone with a 2004-2005 ZX10r stock exhaust system tell me what the outer diameter of the pipe is before the exhaust canister? Or, can anyone with a slip on exhaust canister for this bike tell me what the inner diameter is of the intake pipe that slips over the stock piping? Thanks in...

    Carpal tunnel repair...too many years riding and computing

    recovery from carpal tunnel release surgery is quite simple. they just snip the ligament that runs across the base of your palm at the wrist. The incision is about an inch long, in line with your middle finger. You just have to wait for the incision to fully heal (4 to 6 weeks) and then you...

    Motorcycle hit while parked. Who's at fault?

    your insurance will low ball you and likely say the bike is a write off for the amount of damage on it. It's not so much the amount in parts, but the labour involved in putting it all on. Be prepared to fight if they low ball you and don't budge. Have print outs of similar bikes and mileage...

    chain lube recommended

    lube often. I usually lube after every other fill up (about 400 to 500 km), and clean after every 1000km Kerosene works great but it will eat the asphalt it drips and soaks into. Something to keep in mind.

    WTH is OPCF44 "Family Protection Endorsement"?

    So this is coverage I'm paying for to help out MY insurance company if they decide to go after the OTHER GUY'S insurance company??? I thought we had a NO FAULT insurance program in Ontario, where your OWN insurance company covers YOU and only YOU. How is this not a ridiculous extra charge...

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    What's wrong with this one? I always thought it was legal, as long as you weren't brushing up against the parked cars. On many streets, there appears to be more than enough room for a motorcycle or bicycle.

    Storing motorcycle for the season

    My alarm or something kills the battery within 2 weeks of it sitting there.

    Storing motorcycle for the season

    is it really necessary to "store" our bikes in the GTA? It's just 4-5 months. Take out the battery. Put in some Stabil. Fire it up and take it out for a spin in the winter if the weather is nice and the roads are dry.

    GROM ebike knock-off

    you are limited to a 500W motor and there is a speed governor. I'm sure things can be swapped. It's only a machine

    GROM ebike knock-off

    http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/driver/electric-bicycles-faq.shtml that last point is 32 km/h on level ground, motor only.

    GROM ebike knock-off

    It doesn't! ...but you do need to wear at least a bicycle approved helmet when riding an ebike, as well as be at least 16 years old. And you can carry passengers on an ebike provided there is a seat and foot rests for the passenger.

    GROM ebike knock-off

    No reason why smaller pedals won't work. The pedals on the original scooter style ebikes were far from functional and downright dangerous (given how difficult they were to use due to their placement, how far they stuck out and how low to the ground they were), and they still passed.

    GROM ebike knock-off

    It does have small bicycle pedals, just not in the marketing pictures. You can tell it's not a real Grom up close. No combustion motor or exhaust is visible. It also runs silently...and slowly compared to regular traffic. It's just a fun little toy. I probably wouldn't buy one though

    GROM ebike knock-off

    Honda.ca's website shows a new 2015 model Grom going for $3,399. The ebike Grom knock off I test rode was sticker priced at $3,100. Same ball park, as far as I'm concerned.

    GROM ebike knock-off

    they're about $3000, the same as an actual GROM unfortunately. I just cant justify spending that much on a knock-off ebike version of a GROM

    GROM ebike knock-off

    I test rode one today...and I gotta say, I liked it! Quiet. Smooth acceleration (in a parking lot). Seemed to handle reasonably well at it's (limited) speed. The EMMO Knight GTS. It looks just like a Grom.

    50 shot dead - Orlando shooting

    That quote I posted IS right out of the actual report, in context. Here's a little reading: http://www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15 Bottom line: even when Obama ordered the CDC to research the health impact of guns, expecting a landslide of evidence to support every single ban and...
