    Getting someone's attention

    Riding on the QEW eastbound today, near the Centennial Pkwy slow down, I noticed a Civic that had an obviously flat tire. Traffic was slow but did not come to a complete stop so I couldn't pull up beside him and yell at him - I honked at him, flashed my lights, but could not get the driver to...

    It was different when they were right side up and had convenient drain plugs on them!

    Air India Crash

    There's basically three possibilities: -The design of the switches was flawed and DID allow them to be bumped off -They were switched off due to some muscle memory process (A happened, therefore I automatically do B, C, etc), possibly relating to a different aircraft -They were switched off due...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Hmmm.... I do see a problem there. TLR has two coolant radiators + a pancake oil cooler, TLS has one coolant radiator and a air-to-oil cooler. That clearly does have the pancake oil cooler from the TLR on it, so is the rad the ad mentions oversized, or is it a normal sized TLS rad? Do they...

    Did you get a front fender with it?

    2025 Insurance quote reality check please

    There are two kinds of motorcycles - supersports and everything else. Technically an XJ750 would be making 76hp, not nothing, but insurance doesn't even know or care about that. They care that it's 750cc. They don't care if it has ABS or traction control, they don't care if your grandson is...

    2025 Insurance quote reality check please

    I don't think any insurance is going to be friendly to an 18 year old starting out on a 750. Try quotes on 125s

    I just bought a 1984 Honda V30 Interceptor

    Just remembered something that may help - I remember my VF500 was EXTREMELY sensitive to stale gas for some reason. It would only take a few months of sitting, even with fuel stabilizer, until it would completely refuse to start until you replaced the fuel. Then it was completely happy

    I just bought a 1984 Honda V30 Interceptor

    I've had one before. For however good I am at wrenching now, I was worse at it then. I still have a loose VF500 oil pan kicking around somewhere due to that.... and a set of forks, in unknown condition. Recommend you get a tiny bicycle pump and an accurate pressure gauge for the air preload...

    Fozi

    Interesting, we don't have many Zero riders here. The SR/S would be the one I'd want! Welcome

    Darksiders beware...

    Never mind darksiders, "Any tire is not original equipment or equivalent equipment" could easily be interpreted as any tire that is not the OEM size, radials on a bike that came with bias plys, knobbies on bikes that came with smooth tires, etc

    What's the one thing you always forget or wish you'd brought on long trip on 2 wheels?

    Not going over the bike thoroughly enough before a long trip.

    Cannot access GTAM on Android

    You know I was kinda wondering if this was IPv6 related

    Portawalls

    Honestly I'd never even heard of "Portawalls" before. There is not a big custom bike community here on GTAM - there are a few guys who build racebikes and stuff. If there are current folks doing aesthetic builds they are keeping quiet about it. Maybe, *maybe* JohnnyP636 would have known about...
