    2x12 load bearing Q’s 4 countertop

    Wondering if anyone has an engineering background, or can speak just from experience... The objective is to build a 9ft x 11inch bar countertop fixed at both ends (no legs or support anywhere between between the two ends). Using two 2x12’s stacked (to gain super strength to prevent flex), 9ft...

    HWY Speed Limit Increase

    Whatever happened to that speed limit increase pilot project we were supposed to get on the HWY’s? I remember hearing about it on the radio last yr but it just vanished. How long are these pilot projects normally in place before they decide to make implement changes?

    My M2 license expired end of April but there hasn’t been a location open due to obvious reasons to take the M test since March. Is anyone in the same situation and have any info on this?

    Insurance went up across the board or just SS?

    I've got an opportunity today to buy a sweet bobber, but has the insurance rates gone up on them as well or were insurance companies targeting the SS class? Anyone know what to expect for rates on a 2004 Harley Sportster 1,200cc? I was going to get a SS (GSXR 750) last week but holy sh*t the...

    Bike was Stolen

    Went into Loblaws and came out to find my bike gone. Sitting waiting for the cops to show. Any idea when to expect them since I have to leave for work? Whichever loser took it I hope they choke on it or crash it rendering them paralyzed for life. Leaches always expect to make gains off the...

    Insane Toronto Weather - Summer SS Tires

    We have the worst weather when it comes to consistency, one day it's so hot your AC can't keep up the next you can swear you're back in January. Or during the day it's in the 20s and during the nights it's below 9. How do you folks sporting summer tires on your sportbikes compensate for such...

    Fishtailing on it's own to a small degree

    Perhaps it's just me or in my head but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Went out for a ride today (man, it was beautiful) and noticed the back of my bike ('02 gsxr 750) felt like it was veering off every now and then to one side. The only way I can explain it is you know when you hit the back...

    GSXR 750 vs Yamaha R1 Handling+Comfort

    Can anyone with hands-on experience with both shed some light on a few of the differences and comparisons between the [2001-2003 R1] and the [2001-2003 GSXR 750]. No track comparisons. I always preferred the GSXR 1000 for it's size but it's just to damn fast for the streets Handling...

    cc limit for new riders

    This isn't the first time I've heard this, but about 2 yrs ago it sounded more like a rumor. This morning I was chatting with a local cop here over riding and the death of the M1 rider last night and his passenger's life threatening condition came up. The officer said that there will be a law...

    Squeaking Brakes from Fall?

    I'm not entirely sure if it's related and what the proper recourse would be if it is, but ever since I kept going down practicing U-turns my brakes have been squeaking when applied prior to a stop. Is it just coincidental or can squeaking be a result of dropping a bike?

    Difficulty Making Turns on Bigger Bike

    I've recently upgraded from a Ninja 250 to a 2002 GSXR 750 with complete Akropovic Exhaust and Power Commander. A bit more intimidating and faster/stronger than the average gixxer 750, which makes me wish I spent more time on my 250. Also wish I had gotten a 600 before the 750...

    Spray Cleaner - Spray & Wipe

    I used to have a spray cleaner for the bimmer; just spray and wipe with a rag and it literally cleaned and shined as if just came out of premium car wash. Was pretty handy considering I wouldn't take it to carwashes (I babied it and carwashes damage paint) and was too time consuming to hand...

    Helmet doesn't feel right

    When you ride your sportbike and get in a tucked-in position with head low looking up, do you find the upper portion of your helmet blocks your vision? Mine does (it's a large) and I also find it difficult to see behind me when I want to do a complete shoulder check. It's not snug either but...

    Generation K2 gsxr 750 or 2003 CBR600rr

    Up to this point I was looking for a 750 gsxr, but I have to admit the CBR600rr looks great. I haven't seen the new 2003/2004 CBR600rr (new to me) 'til this morning. The styling improved dramatically since it's previous generation. The one I saw was the CBR Repsol with the Valentino Rossi...
