    Car License Plate Question

    My license plate on my car is fading away, some of the front letters and numbers have completely fallen off, and the rear is starting the same trend.

    What's a good first car?

    Hey all, I'm graduating soon and I'll be starting work right after. My commute is about 65 km one way (Milton to Leslie and Eglinton). So I'll be needing a car. For the time being I'm using one of the four at home and I've realized I definitely do not want a Honda civic. They kill my back...

    Can I move the grips on an 08 ninja 250r?

    I bought a cell phone mount that mounts onto the handle bars. Only problem is the handlebars don't have much room. If I remove the bar ends, can I move the grip and the then signal cluster further out to give enough room for the mount? I need about an 1/8" to fit the mount.

    Canada's motorcycle returns/exchanges?

    Just got my rain gear. I ordered large and HI viz. I didn't know/think that HI viz would be THAT HI viz. I want to exchange for a black suit and a size smaller. Is it generally easy to exchange from them. And would you recommend going to an all black rain suit.

    Loud sound coming from exhaust on cold startup?

    This morning I started the bike up (first time since Friday afternoon) and once it cranked over a loud sound came from the exhaust. It sounded like a release of air pressure. It then warmed up fine and I rode 65 km with it no problem. Any ideas?
