I bought my Shark carbon-fibre helmet at Motocard in Barcelona for €240 three years ago. I'm headed to Portugal this fall. I should pick up another one...

There's a thing called the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which (among many other things) allows tourists to temporarily use equipment legal in their own home jurisdiction, outside of that jurisdiction despite it being locally non-conforming. This is how you can ship your own...

The legality doesn't coincide with the physics.

Helmet sourced in Europe will have ECE certification but probably not DOT. ECE is accepted in Ontario, not sure about other provinces. It isn't recognised in USA, but I doubt you'll find anyone who cares. I've been using an ECE-only Shark helmet for years.

Careful ... lots of project vehicles spend a fair amount of time without a license plate until they're up and running ... or as parts donors. There's ways around this to address the issue at hand without screwing over the automotive hobby, but it requires thought and consideration, not...

In that case, the loading conditions and directions are the same as for a car.

My head hurts. LOL So, the new F800GS would therefore be using the new 900cc (I think) parallel twin with the 270-degree crank and with the output shaft on the left (normal side), as opposed to the old F800GS (which I've ridden in Australia) which had the old 360-degree crank and the funky...

The near universally recommended 2 second following distance feels too far, for anyone accustomed to Toronto traffic. Still, there's good reason for not being closer than that. I believe the Ducati Multistrada adaptive cruise control has some authority to apply brakes, but it won't decelerate...

Is the F800GS still around? I thought the F900 had replaced it, and it's a completely different engine. F800GT/F800ST/F800R have been my favourite hire bikes on overseas trips. Only F900 variant that I've sampled has been the F900XR.

2004 ZX10R that I've owned since new. Closing in on 152 000 km. Right rear turn signal stopped working. It has done this before. First time it was the connector that went bad, and defied attempts to clean up its internal contacts. I replaced the connector a while back. A couple weeks ago it...

Fork and shock maintenance. You're supposed to change the oil every couple of years. I do that when they stop working.

Hah, we had that same discussion. Bike makes 0 horsepower if it doesn't work, so the new battery adds 150 hp!

6:30 as usual. Heading out shortly.

Yes!

I went to the Hamilton one. Good location, good event without being crazy.

Southbound East Mall near Dundas, pole for the speed camera is cut down and the camera is gone.

Yeah, the iX isn't to my liking, but ... it isn't my car.

People across the street have traded in their Ioniq 5 for a BMW iX.

I'm in.

The areas where the coating has worn or corroded off will never match the areas where it hasn't come off, unless you polish the whole lot of it off, and then it won't match what's on the adjacent parts that haven't been treated ... and polished aluminium doesn't stay looking nice without...
