    Toronto Election-The War on Cars/Bikes

    I just groked it. Bike lanes + cars = no emergency vehicles. Solution is no cars. This is all being sold to us now as Vision Zero but that is the plan. You can't have single-lane traffic and emergency vehicles.

    Toronto Election-The War on Cars/Bikes

    Is there anyone fighting this? Things are now at the point where with cameras, cops, speed limits, and scooters it is literally dangerous to drive in the city. I only go there now with good reason. Tory did it. Penalosa will double it (Dufferin for busses only!?) Did I miss the one sane...

    Speedtrap on QEW Parklawn offramp

    Hi all, I went through a speed trap on the Parklawn offramp. The cop didn't pull me over but I can't see where he could have if he wanted to, there isn't really anywhere he could. How do these things work? Does he photograph the plate as you approach and mail the ticket to you or do they...

    Your closing sentence is my best argument I think.

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    Yes, I do know how to correctly change gears on a bike (and in my standard car), but yours is a reasonable question. After reading this thread I really can't say why the clutch burnt-out so fast. I think my best argument is to go for repairs at cost by saying it was an unidentified problem that...

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    It was exactly the apprentice's style adjustments that they used to keep tightening up the cable at each of the four visits.

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    Slipping into too much play was the issue. At the end yes, a lag.

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    Symptoms: Gear shifting always slid into being too loose. Gear-shift handle had way too much play and always slipped into way too much more play. They tightened the nut up on the engine so it was 1/2 way off the thread at the final visit. Their argument is that the bike at highway speeds of...

    Clutch Failed Right After Warranty

    Hi All, 2021 Honda Rebel 300. 13000km. Four clutch adjustments under the warranty period. Each time they adjusted it but did not open it up. Right after the warranty period it failed-burnt out completely. $1500 to fix. Honda says that the clutch is an expendable item and so is not covered by...

    All Rez roads to 30km/hr

    From my Councillor's (Mark Grimes) newsletter: I'm writing a letter but is anyone else aware of this? What do we do? All this will do is lead to the general public being terrorized by tickets and insurance rates, and contempt for the cops. I grew up in all 50's and every child was safe, we just...

    Anyone still do Track bike rentals?

    Hi all, I'm the OP. Signed up for Racer5 this weekend. We camp on the track and they supply the bikes and gear excepting the helmet. Their registration package said that successful completion of the course allowed you to rent their bikes, but no details on what. I assume you're right. I'm...

    Bar/Pub that plays MotoGP?

    Thanks all for your responses. Guess the best option is to wait till things open up, find the North American rebroadcast times (if they exist) and ask the barkeep.
