    First Bike Purchase - Street or Dual Sport - Thoughts + Considerations Appreciated

    Re: First Bike Purchase - Street or Dual Sport - Thoughts + Considerations Apprecia I wanted a 1975 Honda CB400F as my first motorcycle. But I ended up buying an NOS 1974 Kawasaki G4TRD 100 with a dual range transmission like this one. I lived in Courtice and worked in Ajax. I would leave...

    Motorcycle thieves hitting residential homes now?

    No, all vehicles must be covered under separate motor vehicle policies and said policy must include theft coverage to make a claim. So if you’re thinking about parking your bike for a long time cancelling your insurance, DON”T! Drop the PL & PD but keep the fire and theft coverage on it...

    Does your bike have a name?

    My wife Linda's first motorcycle was a 2000 Honda Rebel 250. Rebels have a stylized hawk image on the side covers so she named the bike Isabeau after Michelle Pfeiffer’s character from the movie Ladyhawk. http://web.archive.org/web/20050313023008/http://www2.reach.net/seven/m600/RebRF1.jpg Her...

    Track/Race Pictures

    To do the Rossi “Leg Wave” correctly you must use the leg that is on the inside of the corner not the out side. Also, you need to “dangle it” more, not hold it out straight. ;) Or were you trying to imitate Carl Fogarty’s “Bollox to the lot of ya!”

    New truck?

    Ric, you know me. I’ve been transporting bikes to shows, tracks and off road events since the mid 70’s. I’ve had full size vans, big and small pick-ups, cars and SUV’s. Some worked better then others but I always found a way to use what ever I had. Best all around set up was my old Chevy van...

    what its all about

    What it should be all about is; enjoying the ride. Remember the old saying, “It’s not what you ride but THAT you ride!” Unfortunately any discussion of riding will stir up debate on stereotypical behaviour whether fact or fiction. However, in this case I think it’s fitting to mention a couple...

    May 24 wknd - Got ticketed/close calls thread

    This is not news, the OPP have been using this tactic for decades. I was stopped between Cobourg and Port Hope over a dozen years ago by a LEO who was parked right up against the center wall. What ****** me off was that I was in the slow lane and had just been passed like I was sitting still by...

    Next Bike... Which one?

    Yes, I’m sure of the way I ride my Ducati 900 SS and how different it is to my MV Agusta 675 F3. I have friends who I’ve let ride my Ducati and they think it’s neat but it just isn’t for them and that’s OK. How many fours have anything under 2000? My 900 actual doesn’t like to run under 2500 but...

    Next Bike... Which one?

    In reference to motor vehicles, power is power. It is a standard unit of measurement for the delivery of force used to propel said vehicle. What you feel is the torque, that twisting motion that makes the wheels go around. Some bikes, like a long stroke, air cooled, L twin Ducati makes lots of...

    Diecast Models - Where to buy?

    Speaking of high end die casts and having specific models made, my brother commissioned a company in south Oshawa, (Durham Classics) to do a replica of our father’s 1934 La Salle that he now owns. This photo was taken when the car was on display at the 1964 New York Auto Show. This is the...

    Diecast Models - Where to buy?

    Holy crap Jamie, I’m in that Tim Horton's a couple or three times a month as an old racing / gaming buddy of mine lives just a couple of minutes away on the 8th line. However, I’ve never been into the gas bar. Who would’ve thought, eh?

    15% across-the-board insurance reduction?

    Insurance adjusters have always had the responsibility of identifying fraudulent claims. Problem is, many are too lazy to do their jobs properly. Case in point, I had an adjuster who threatened me with criminal charges because he believed I was making a fraudulent claim. He was willing to pay...

    Accident scenario, what to do?

    I can’t comment on dead vs. live animals but I can tell you that if you crash while swerving to avoid hitting something or someone it’s going to be on you. However, if you strike an object that you can trace back and prove where it came from (like a section of scaffolding falling off a specific...
