    I got a parking ticket in Toronto.....

    Take it to the courthouse - if your claims are legit (I imagine you can just take the plate in), the clerk will cancel it for you. Happened to me, when the meter maid said my plate was expired, when it actually wasn't (keep your plate renewal receipts, brah).

    The Five Gadgets Every Motorcycle Rider Needs via: MobileSyrup.com

    Yeah, my threshold for commuting is 10C... with heated gear, it'd only be a few degrees colder, but then I'm worried about tyre traction.... Good point about phone connections tho! I was gonna rig up my phone, but I'm still undecided... GPS will destroy your phone battery - In my car, I can...

    Risk Assessment- Squid vs ATGATT

    I can also report with confidence that in the ER department of GTA hospitals; if the nurses find out that your skin rashes are the result of not wearing any appropriate riding gear, they are less likely to take it easy on you while scrubbing the rocks/sand/asphalt that's embedded under your skin...

    What full face helmet do you have?

    You wanna review lids at this web site: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-helmets/motorcycle-helmets.htm I've read that not many manufacturers design their helmets that take head shape into consideration: only Arai and Shark (which you can't buy locally anymore, I believe), actually have...

    Battery Woes

    Hiya gents, update fer y'all: After trying it on Friday morning and letting the battery sit all day, came home to find it at 12.8v (!!) put it back in the bike, turn the key and... It barely managed to get one crank. While it was in there, I tried a current leak test and my DVM read 0ma, so...

    Battery Woes

    haha, no definitely didn't install it backwards. ever. I actually attempted to start the bike twice last night; First time: took it off the tender, went to storage spot, installed battery, checked lights - all was good. Took about 45 mins to gear up, reassemble the seat, etc, pack tools away...

    Battery Woes

    What would it be like during the summers if I had a bad regulator/rectifier? When I use the bike during riding season it never has any issues - starts up every time and is very reliable.

    Battery Woes

    ^ Thanks gents - I emailed Ace Moto Tech and Brampton Power Sports today to see what their pricing is like. I think I'd like to try an "AGM" battery this time, as they should be more durable. Looks like I should've checked the reviews before buying this ****ing POS...

    Battery Woes

    No dice this morning. Okay so now I need recommendations: go back to Yuasa? Does Canadian Tire have good batteries? I've used Eliminators in two of my previous cars with great success... And lastly, how tf do I store it in winter? I was thinking of keeping it in the bike this time, and...

    Battery Woes

    Nope - it and the tender sat on some boxes. 6-12" up from the floor Update: After I created this thread, I brought the battery back home and did a "high voltage" quick charge for 2 hours during the game (GO RAPS!!!) Took it back, put it in the bike and immediately started it up (earlier today...

    Battery Woes

    Right! Several people have told me this too: no charger, no nothing - just let it sit in the bike all winter. So how is that different than removing it and letting sit at room temperature?

    Battery Woes

    Just tried to start it up for the season and my battery won't start the bike - turns all the lights on, but not enough amperage to turn the motor over. Background: - I had a Yuasa battery for ~4 seasons, and I used to leave it in the bike and hook it up to a trickle charger when I stored it...

    20 Bay/ 88 Queens Quay Parking Notice

    I feel you; motorcycling is definitely a more efficient means of travel from a time and fuel consumption perspective (hell, that's how I justify it, too!), but if (hypothetically) every 1-person car turned into a 1-person motorcycle in the GTA, our smog issues would be very similar, if not worse...

    Try reducing your coverage to just liability, theft and fire only. I had to when I started riding, and I was your age! It'll make sure you ride REALLY defensively until you can afford full coverage. G/L

    20 Bay/ 88 Queens Quay Parking Notice

    It's truly disappointing that people can't be more accepting of motorcycles, here. I agree with everything in terms of reducing congestion, and alleviating parking space as advantages of riding motorcycles, however motorcycles are NOT more "green" than cars. We pollute with less volume, but in...
