I've never been very politically motivated but always leaned somewhat right... fiscally right, socially more left I suppose, as I do think mary-jane should be legal, for example. I've never joined a political party before, but this year I joined the Conservatives in particular to vote for...

I had this ad come up today on my RSS feed and couldn't help but ask myself WTF... how did he do this to that wheel? Why wouldn't he take the tire off if he really wants to sell this? What purpose is a rim of a cast wheel that has had the hub broken out...

I've got a Clarke tank for the DRZ and am about to switch over. I don't want the original tank to form any rust, yet I don't want to store it full as I don't know when I will use it again. Is there something I should rinse the tank with once empty to prevent corrosion?

Theoretically speaking, of course, if you could live pretty much anywhere in Canada while keeping your income about the same (+/- a few k/year), where would it be? I'm from a small town and have lived in the GTA for 10 years now. Every year I hate it more and more -- the traffic, the bad...

I'm looking to replace the stock carb on my DRZ with a FCR39 pumper carb as the story is this mod makes for a great improvement in power delivery. The issue is, this carb in a kit from thumpertalk or procycle is damn pricey ($700 to $900USD)... more than I am willing to spend. A guy I ride...

Does anyone here know about/have intimate knowledge of CCM Motorcycles (Clews Competition Motorcycles) in particular the GP450? I hear they are being sold in Toronto now, and they sound like the unicorn of adventure bikes: 450cc, 40hp, 275lbs, 20l gas tank, 14" clearance, fuel injected, brembo...

I placed an order at GPS city, entered my details and chose 'Next Day AM' through FedEx and paid extra for that option. So here we are, a good 30 hours after ordering and the tracking information says 'Shipment information sent to FedEx'... so it hasn't even been picked up yet. I complained...

Just planning a 4 or 5 day car camping trip along the North side of Superior, and seeking advice of what to see and what campgrounds to stay at or where to avoid. Interests: we both like nature sites like falls, lookout towers, cliffs, etc... don't care much at all about famous battle sites...

I know this is most easily answered by calling my insurance company, which I will do on Monday, but in the meantime: My wife and I share one car. We work at the same place and 95% of the time I do the driving, so she is very accurately listed as an occasional driver. I've always heard that if...

I can't help but being reminded of jc100's thread from a few years back: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?183887-Neighbours So I live in a link-detached semi only connected to one neighbour and have lived here 5 years now. This neighbour has central air with the box on his...

I'm tired of using expander nuts when securing my handguards to my bike, and was thinking of using something like this: However... that fastway bar end mounts won't work for my bars... it uses a 5/8 tap and 5/8 just falls into my bars... my ID is closer to 11/16. Is there anyone here (or a...

How is it that it is 2016 and I have just discovered this song? Anyway, it certainly reminds me of the hockey player rednecks I grew up with in Stratford, and 'out for a rip' is still part of my vocabulary. The F150 should have been replaced with a dirt bike or a sled though...

It seems like everyone is jumping into the adventure class now. I'm not sure if Royal Enfield even has an importer here in Canada anymore... they used to. http://www.thequint.com/delhi-auto-expo-2016/2016/02/02/royal-enfield-himalayan-is-not-a-cruiser-but-an-all-terrain-bike 450km on 15l of...

After all the talk in the recommended movie thread regarding the Hateful Eight. I had some questions as maybe I missed something (I was 1/2 in the bag when I watched this movie). If the 'general' wasn't a general and was just told to be one... what was the deal with S.L. Jackson recognizing...

I'm looking to get a new helmet and the schuberth c3 pro comes highly recommended. Is there any place in the GTA that stocks schuberth to see if they fit my head? Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

Macdoc, myself, and a few others have hijacked many a thread and started talking about motorcycle transport, and the idea came up to post a new thread and keep the info there to make it easy to find. So here it is. My contributions: Years ago (2009) I crated and shipped a bike to Vancouver...

I have for sale one barely used Givi XS308 tank bag which can include the lock ring (BF10) for a Vstrom (DL650, DL1000). Other bikes would require the purchase of the required lock ring which bolts on to your fuel tank. See http://www.giviusa.com/pdf/BF_RING.pdf This is an excellent bag with...

I have a FMF Powercore 4 slipon including silencer insert for a DRZ400. This pipe is in good shape, sounds awesome and inculdes the necessary mount band and adapter to attach to the stock header. There are some scratches on the inside of this pipe, but it still looks and works great. Retails...

I'm somewhat considering putting one or both of my bikes up for sale in the spring and considering accepting a trade for one or the other of them for a DR650. I searched the MTO website and could not find anything regarding a vehicle trade. They have the bits for buying and selling, but not for...
