    Braaaap! NOTHING said serious injury and broken bones like the big bore two strokes. :love: Respect `em or suffer.

    Share your fondest memory of motorcycling

    So many years of memories, one I`m fond of. Summer of `71, I`m 14..been riding an array of dirt bikes for nearly 4 years. My cousin says I should ride his beautiful `70 CB750 around the Bramalea City Center parking lot. Big empty lot on a Sunday when things once were closed. "Uhh..by myself"...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    Google Michael Latner for the mother of all horror stories. :eek:

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    For anyone down on the dealership experience I`ll say give Lindsay Cycle and HB Cycle a go. Solid customer treatment and service is what I`ve found. They cover Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM, Can-Am and Polaris. No affiliation, just a customer.

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    My problem is with dangerously stupid drivers and zero accountability for maiming or killing motorcyclists, while they F about with some electronic gadget. David Booth wrote a piece in Mojo about riding in Italy, where drivers go fast but with a fair skill level....because at some point they`ve...

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    Willowdale used to have a good sized Jewish population, perhaps the same now. It looks like another big FU to the Jews from Chow, that`s hardly surprising with what she`s allowed with the pro- terrorism marches.

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    I guess it slipped the mind of Oblivious Cow that those guys are big in funding terrorism. Probably thinking of more bike lanes. Toronto is equally stupid with NYC or San Francisco, enjoy the express elevator to the bottom Torontonians.

    Impaired Driving Penalty Changes

    Seems experts say alcoholism is a disease and a disorder.. a mental health issue. I`ve seen a lifetime of people with it, family and friends and so many others. I see it as you made a CHOICE to drink, you`re responsible if you kill someone. Just as Muzzo made a choice to drive and kill 4 people...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    This is the bike discussion so I`ll keep the cross contamination brief. No way in Hell am I sending a dime, never mind 20 Grand or whatever the ask is to Communist China for their motorcycles. It`s difficult enough to avoid their garbage product everywhere. Their relentless meddling continues in...

    Kawasaki Is About to Ruin 2-Strokes Forever

    What brand of oil and premix ratio and gasoline of choice are you using on these new-fangled strokers?

    Kawasaki Is About to Ruin 2-Strokes Forever

    I had no problem starting the RZ500 using my hand on the kick start lever. Wouldn`t try that on a CR500 though.

    Kawasaki Is About to Ruin 2-Strokes Forever

    I was lucky enough to experience the 2 stroke era and their glory days, beginning with a Yamaha Twin Jet 100 in `68. It`ll never happen but consider what could have been had the Yamaha GL750 and the Kawi square four 750 of the early `70`s been allowed to develop beyond the show circuit. With...

    Prediction for `26 bike insurance.....

    Every report, lots of them, with the rider taken to a trauma center or suffering life altering injuries is brutal. When I see or hear the Ornge medevac chopper coming out of my local regional airport every summer I say a quick prayer.

    Prediction for `26 bike insurance.....

    .....with the discussion of the DoFo insurance thread, gotta` wonder. This year has been terrible for motorcycle fatalities and injuries. How long before the companies become even more punitive with rates ( bottom line matters obviously), and dog help us if the gov`t meddles even more in...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    A decade of supporting Liberals will get you this. There should be a "stupid" tax they pay for the chopper support. OK....back to bike talk.

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    Good grief. Three pages of debating over a proven, dependable and reasonably powerful Suzuki V-twin and a wheezy 450 single with suspect reliability and thin dealer network. How did so many of us riding from the late `60s make it this far? :rolleyes:

    Nice gesture I suppose, Carney wouldn`t know a Ninja or GasGas if it bit his arse .
