    Considering a second bike

    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-street-cruisers-choppers/hamilton/2007-honda-919/1722954074 You can come and test ride mine if you want. Mine is definitely not as nice as that one

    I just bought a 1984 Honda V30 Interceptor

    That's a twin. This is a V4, also found in the Magna V30

    What's your time worth?

    When that happened to me I couldn't help but vaguely suspect that I had been "accidentally" disconnected to limit how much I was tilting the call center metrics

    Looking for a shop to patch a tire in 2025

    I trust a patch more than a plug, however I also think it is worth inspecting the inside of the tire. The object that punctured the tire (dead center of the tire) is still embedded in it and I'm not sure what it is. It would have been difficult to remove from the outside without aggravating the...

    Looking for a shop to patch a tire in 2025

    I could make a long list of all the shops that refused to patch tires but I don't want it become vindictive or judgemental. Brantford Motorcycles remains the only one that was willing to consider it (and they currently have my wheel, but I won't hear if they decide it's patchable until after...

    5 years out of a Yuasa AGM battery?

    GP Bikes probably stocks them. There is also... General PDP Template Before you protest, lemme just say that I have a CT battery in my TL1000S. It was a "ride now or later" decision, and I have zero complaints about it. Considering my $200 Yuasa battery lasted only 5 years I'm happier with the...

    Looking for a shop to patch a tire in 2025

    Brantford Motorcycles has said they might do it, so that's one.

    Looking for a shop to patch a tire in 2025

    Rear. I still would greatly prefer a patch over a plug... if I can still find someone to do it

    Looking for a shop to patch a tire in 2025

    Looking for someone that will patch a tire, preferably in Niagara Region but I'm realizing that I may have to travel farther to get this done. Last person to do it for me was Ted Rose like 15 years ago lol

    Rear brake failure

    I'm wondering if you have a leak, though. Where did all that air come from in a year?

    Rear brake failure

    Have you been riding it since then, or did you just ride it for the first time this month?

    5 years out of a Yuasa AGM battery?

    According to the box it came in, this one was made in Japan

    5 years out of a Yuasa AGM battery?

    I have had my 919 fail to start twice within a month. First time I yanked the battery, fully charged it up on a CTEK charger, put it back in, rode it, then let it sit a week or two. It just barely failed to start both times (turning over but not lighting off). Yanked it again, charged it again...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    *cough* I suppose the two are both spares to the third bike, a ZX-11 that hasn't run in... some years. Anywho! The 919 got going after only a little charger therapy, but gonna hafta investigate that a little further. Will charge it up fully over the weekend and see about getting it tested next...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Have had two bikes for a while now. Didn't really intend to, but selling one of them has been a low priority, and sometimes it is handy to have a "spare". Struck out on both of them today though. TL1000S rear tire is totally flat, and 919 wouldn't start (suspicious of the tiny battery...

    Damon motorcycles

    I'm surprised! I expected them to have been completely dissolved two years ago already.

    Who is this guy? Sikorsky S-76C C-FBLU

    They ran it?? What day was that?

    Who is this guy? Sikorsky S-76C C-FBLU

    That one *might* be C-FKUR as it is a H130 currently listed for sale on HeliTrader, and the livery on that sale listing matches FMJ's photo. The current owner might have a PIA (privacy ICAO address) because I can't find any evidence of it flying recently. Or they just don't turn ADS-B on
