    Quitting for 5 years, anyone do this before?

    ^ This. But I don't think what riceburner said is in-line with your "go-fast" attitude... to me, if the choice was between no bike or commuter/beater/non-glamorous/el-cheapo bike; riding casually on the beater bike would be the choice. THIS is what I will eventually graduate to, too. I can...

    The rise of new riders and motovlogging

    Same same. I would think that only experienced riders should be doing these things, too. The scary part is a new rider, feeding wrong information/habits to other new riders further perpetuating their poor riding habits and styles. I once watched a video by this "snowflake" idiot who complains...

    Why BC is awful for riding ;-)

    Whaaaaat the Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu??!!!!?! This guy is a shame to motorcyclists everywhere. Complaining about twisty roads, milder weather and somehow not putting away your bike for the winter is a disadvantage? Pack it up, and stay in your cage, son, you're done. AND he's getting paid and published...

    Politics of motorcycle design

    Totally agree with you here. But as the student (with your limited design experience), you bring to the table your brand new amazing design, and a senior level designer tells you that it'll cost more $$ to proof then put into production than the front fairings... back to the drawing-board to...

    Anyone road cycling?

    LOL MTB is the way to go, man! If you wanna stay on the asphalt, keep the motor ;) I have a road bike, but it's a track bike, and I don't ride it like typical "road bikers"

    who is your isp?

    We've had the opposite luck - 6 months of Teksavvy, no interruptions. Then 2 years of Rogers, and it was going down 1-2 times every 2 months. We just switched back to Teksavvy and I ain't never goin back, cuz we cancelled cable so bundling gets us nothing. $60 with Teksaavy gets us 30 down, 5...

    Looking for advice: SV650SA vs FZ6

    The naked one is better for around-town commuting, and has a more up-right seating position. I believe it has +1 tooth on the rear sprocket for acceleration (but less top-speed, as if that matters). I "chopped" my stock exhaust for FREE and it sounds incredible. With a few mods (mirrors...

    Politics of motorcycle design

    Maybe you can give more specific examples, other than the rear fender/plate mount... in the realm of automotive design, much emphasis/energy/manhours are spent on two major areas: marketable improvements & technology, and outright industrial design. Marketable improvements and technology is...

    Riding alone. Pros and cons.

    When my wife had a bike we did a short 5-hour tour to up-state NY, and it was a learning experience. Varied weather, and no rain gear made for a "tough" ride. She wasn't into it (on that level), so I think I would only do a long-ish touring ride with a group of close friends, or perhaps...

    Adopting a dog vs Breeder

    Is this at Spokes N' Slopes in Milton? That's my LBS, too :) And Zoodles, we just rode Christie lake for the first time a few weeks ago; its small, but SUPER fun. On Topic; the wife and I are hoping to get a Bernese Mountain Dog & Poodle mix (cuz teh allergies), but neither of us works close...

    Odd thing about being in a car.

    Ahhhhhh @superseven YES!!!! I've been saying this for a long time now; zipper merging is THE way to go, but people have their heads too far up their ***** to ever truly *get it*. I can understand the tendency to remain in the through lane at all times when people aren't familiar with the...

    Tue 12th Hwy 403 stunters - you're on CTV news

    Can we stop blaming stunters and idiot riders for our insurance rates? It's now a given that insurance rates are a complete scam in this province, and -last I checked- this isn't the only place where people ride like ******** on the road. ******* riders are everywhere, but unreasonable...

    "“It’s not the other vehicle you need to worry about.”" - Halton POlice

    Many good quotes in this thread... I can believe this... I think the three fatal motorcycle accident causes are as follows (in no particular order): - Showing off/Stunting/excessive speed/risky maneuvering - Other cars not seeing us - Alcohol/substance abuse Re; showing off: Let's face it...

    Do you know these motorcycles?

    if no-one claims them, couldn't you use USHIP and ship them back here to re-sell (where the VINs are registered)? offset shipping costs with the sale, bingo-bango

    I find commuting to be an interesting beast in this city... like conundrum, I have Joe Rocket Alterego pants, but I have a Joe Rocket "Champion" Yamaha Leather jacket. They both have the 8" zipper along the back to zip together, but they don't actually zip together (no big deal). My jacket...

    Bent Handlebar

    I've been emailing back-and-forth with the sales team at suburban-machinery.com, and they've suggested the following: I've got a pretty good idea of what to do and how to do it, I just need a good vise and a long steel tube with a 1.0" ID - if anyone has access to, or has them I'd appreciate...
