Lol coincidentally I just heard Joe Rogan talking about this on his podcast (a little after the 16 minute mark)

I ordered an exhaust system from them in around 2010. I don't recall any crazy shipping charges. I do remember there was a minor issue with the exhaust can (logo was placed too far down), and they sent me a brand new one free of charge. They were very quick at handling it too. edit: I think...

Wondering the same thing. I tried to get on the forum a few weeks ago and it was down...although I haven't been on there in a year or two. Thanks for that write-up DJM, was one of the first things I did to my bike :)

why you so mad for? I'm not attacking you or your choices...

Lol busted. I do read that blog often However, I don’t agree with 100% of what he says. He has a strong bias toward the financial markets that strikes me as being eerily similar to that of a realtor’s on the housing market. He acts like a diversified portfolio can do no wrong, no matter the...

And good on you for being mortgage free. That's a MAJOR advantage. Some info on why I continue to rent at the moment. 3 of my close friends recently bought houses, 1 new build and 2 built within the last 20 years. We grew up together and are pretty open discussing our income etc. I know our...

There is research that suggests the opposite. Buying a $400,000 house with 25 year mortgage vs renting for 25 years http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/personal-finance/mortgages/would-you-be-better-off-financially-renting-or-buying-a-home/article11952313/ "The home is worth $837,511...

I was just trying to portray both sides. Renting and owning both have their pros and cons, how much weight those have will vary from person to person based on their circumstances/personal view.

Hard to say. If there is a house for $560k and we put the 60k towards a downpayment instead, we now have a mortgage of: $500k If we are lucky enough to get a 3% avg mortgage for 25 years (avg has historically been 6-7% I think) the costs would be: $3k monthly (mortgage+property tax+HO...

Welcome! I took the same course at Humber. I rented a helmet from a place near Kipling Station I think..forget the name of it but I remember it was recommended in whatever papers they give you when you sign up so check those. You will need a leather jacket, motorcycle gloves, and helmet for...

My first ever fall was while crossing streetcar tracks on a rainy day :(. I was changing lanes and the car pushed on his breaks suddenly so I did the same...unfortunately that was at the moment I was crossing the tracks. Luckily I went down at a slow speed One thing I like to do now when it's...

I have a 125 and used to park downtown on the sidewalk near my work. There were probably 4 or 5 motocycles & scooters that parked along the stretch of sidewalk. I never had a problem, but last summer the security guard came up to me and said "Parking enforcement is starting to clamp down on...

This looks like a cool project! Keep us posted with the progress you make on it

Size is 44. Lightly used for 2 seasons. It has a removable liner that makes it a great jacket for both warm and cool weather. Asking $40 obo review of the Jacket can be found here http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/39/11152/PRODUCT-REVIEW/Teknic-Tornado-Jacket.aspx

Even when I get a 600 I don't plan on selling my 125. I plan to use it as my weekly commuter bike. The thing is dirt cheap to own and operate. I live in an apartment with zero security. You'll notice all the condo theft threads here, I can only imagine how quick a 600 would go if I was forced...

I spoke to CBR250r on the 125 forum (he did the 150cc engine swap) and it looks like the cost of doing that is way too high for me. Brian, where are you located? Would you be willing to install the camshaft?

I haven't been on the 125 forum for a while, but I do remember a thread about the camshaft mod. I think a lot of people were complaining about it...build quality or installation troubles? From aseanmoto right?

I never said it was expensive, I just said I couldn't afford it ;p I have car, renters and motorcycle insurance with SF. I'm 27

I borrowed a friends Ninja 250 for my M2 exit course and test at Humber. Other than it being carburated, I enjoyed riding it a lot and knowing what I do now, probably should have bought that as my first bike. The 125 is still a fun commuter bike though. I've also put in a bit of effort...

GreyGhost, thanks for the list of mechanics! Brian, hmm sounds like the 150 engine is the way to go. I've heard others warn of potential danger of installing the non OEM Athena kit and your example of one blowing up makes me think it's not worth it. Do you know where I'd get a 150 honda engine...
