    Looking for an expert to critique my riding & leaning skills

    Been there done that many times. These are slow speed maneuvers you should be upright. The lean comes when you speed up. You can make turns at intersections? Now you just have to tighten them up a bit. Practice the slow cone weave to get a good feel on how the start of your turn should be. Get...

    Looking for an expert to critique my riding & leaning skills

    I ride a Burgman 400, have for most of the 15 yrs I've been riding. The heads up and look where you want to go is the 1st skill you have to master but you have to practice. Motojitsu has years of experience but the one thing that he preaches in many of his video is to practice.Do some donuts in...

    Tactical Boots

    I agree with race_17 the zippers on side zip boots don't hold up. Side zip on my Blackhawks fell apart and couldn't be fixed. Replaced them with SWAT side zip and can't remove the boots using side zips alone. Replaced the laces with a zipper insert in front I had on my 15 yr old combat boots...

    Commuting on a maxi-scooter - impressions so far

    Some 07 Burgmans were fitted with the 5 shoe clutches which address the problem of the clutch chatter. It it weren't for the parts shortages I would not recommend Mallossi clutch and pulleys if your Burgman has the newer clutch. The chattering coming from the clutch on pre 08 Burgman was a dust...

    Commuting on a maxi-scooter - impressions so far

    I've owned a few (4) burgman 400, except for a short time on the first one all of them had a Laminar Lip installed, and for me the wind noise is less than without the lip. But, I'm 5'9" and less of my head would be exposed to the wind than with your head. As for sliders, I installed them on all...

    Suzuki Paint Code

    The paint code Suzuki shows for your bike in the parts catalog corresponds to the paint codes used by ColorRite. ColorRite is the paint supplier for paint for Suzuki in North America. I bought a aerosol can of the paint for a small body part (approx 1/2 sq. foot) on my Suzuki about 5 years...

    Road Side Assistance

    Be aware at the time of my renewal of CAA+(Apr21) the CAA agent said they will tow your vehicle but they will not take you along with the vehicle (Tow truck driver safety). They claim they will help you find other arrangements for your transportation. I expect this to change as COVID...

    Biker down - what would you do?

    From my personnel experience Call 911 first! I saw a vehicle leave the roadway and roll over into the ditch on a side road in a rural area. Went to help the victim and found myself up to my waist in snow and my feet in cold water in a deep ditch where I couldn't see or be seen from the roadway...

    Does an MTO abstract use the Charge or Conviction date?

    Date of conviction. Convicting court has to send a Notice of Conviction to appropiate agencies (MTO for HTA, RCMP and MTO for CC.) when conviction is entered.

    Long 2 week trip - What am I going to forget?

    AAA won't help if you have CAA Plus. Broke down in PA two years ago and the only help I got from AAA was the phone nbr of a towing service. CAA Premier Membership will get you the towed by AAA. To their credit I was reimbursed by CAA for the towing but is was a real hit to the wallet. Not...
