So was taking off the front wheel on my bike. The hex recess on one of the pinch bolts was rounded on the inside - not my doing. What was my doing : I tried using a bolt extractor after soaking it in penetrating oil and heating a bit. Yup, the worst happened and the extractor itself snapped...

I hesitate to post, especially as I don't have it in hand, but I am so excited. I struck a deal to buy a 500/V30 Interceptor this weekend. It's a bit of a haul. That bike was my dream bike as a kid. I loved the original 750, but when the 500 came out, there as just something about it -...

So, I need to replace my front and rear tires. Given that the wheels need to be removed with a socket that is not common, I figured I would buy the tool, remove them myself and take them somewhere to have the tires mounted. It looks like this is pretty much the only option I can find in...

I have a lift which uses fittings that go into the swingarm pivot point on both sides. The vendor sells fittings for my road bike and I have these on order. However, I also have three dirt bikes and an old 87 project bike for which the vendor does not list fittings. I have a tiny...

Just bought one and was wondering if anyone here has one and ever thought about making fittings for them. I have some dirt bikes and an 87 CBR that Abba doesn't sell fittings for. I have a micro lathe and mill, and a bunch of tooling that I barely know how to use, but this seems like it...

I'm looking at some of their products which seem well-priced, but reviews of the store itself are a mixed bag. Shipping times, lack of tracking information, and customer support seem to be the most common complaints. It looks like they're based somewhere in Europe and would ship via...

this was the first winter I parked my motorcycle in a shipping container. I used a section of my dock boards as a ramp. It was fine getting the bike in the container, but backing it out was an adventure, because my “ramp” was not securely fastened to the container and would not have been very...

I've seen a few posts about their bike nights but nothing about the store itself. I was looking for something to do so went for a long drive to check out the store. I was interested in looking at John Doe and Merlin gear which I have never seen before. I really liked the Doe stuff. I liked...

1) I was checking out some 12V heated gear that has a a fused pigtail with ring terminals (only). We tried to test it by connecting the terminals to my car battery. The gear didn't turn on. Seller thought the problem was using a car battery and not a bike battery; I assumed 12V is 12V...

Usually take my car to Downtown Lexus but would be happy to find a good independent mechanic. Haven't had any particular issues with DL and they're very close to where I live, but I'd be willing to give an independent a look.

I had/have an 87 CBR600F project that was nearly complete, just missing a few pieces. I had taken a bunch of pieces off the bike (exhaust, fuel tank, airbag, lights, signals, seat and all plastics) and kept these parts in my garage, which subsequently burned down months later. The only parts...

This has been on my bucket list for a while and I think 2025 is the year I do something about it. I know this is an expensive hobby, and in those regards I'd like to start conservatively. Given this, what's the best way to get started? I'm pretty sure I will love it, so does it make sense...

The douches were in force today on Lakeshore. Traffic was already bunged up before these guys came along. Why anyone would choose to ride a bike in stop-and-go traffic instead of getting out of the city and enjoying riding in the beautiful weather is beyond me. I had a hard time preventing...

I've had doing an IB on my bucket list for a long time. I have the week off, kids are in the city with Mom, and the weather is nice, so I thought about doing one. I know that fall is less ideal because of the shorter days, but no time like the present. I'm in the Orillia area. I'm assuming...

I was heading up Highway 11 between Barrie and Orillia tonight, doing a leisurely 120-130. Out of nowhere a CBR flies past me in the fast lane - and trust me, he was going fast. When he passed me, he rev bombed me, and then slowed down ahead of me. He looked back over his shoulder very...

I think I may have lost the leads for my Mobile Warming heated liner. Are these typically standard across makes? I thought mine was a male RCA connector like my heated snowmobile helmets, but the center part is actually much bigger and may even receive a pin. I see this Optimate set on...

I’m not trying to sell tickets here, but am curious as to how it works. I was able to get four tickets to a very much in-demand concert. In the heat of the queue, I spent way more than I was planning to spend and am considering selling a pair of them, considering that tickets are said to be...

Anyone know if there are audiologists who might specialize in motorcycling clients, perhaps offering specially designed products? I was going to book a fitting for custom plugs with the same audiologist (Hearing Life), primarily because I know I have difficulty getting foam plugs (Howard...
