    Sold two wheels to help fund four wheels...

    Sold two wheels to help fund four wheels... (328i) Temporarily out of the motorcycle game to fund a mildly enjoyed 2012 BMW 328i... and no regrets :) Very happy with my "new to me" ride. I picked up a 2012 328i (luxury line) with only 67,000 km (now at 74,000) off lease. It sat for 9 months...

    I now ride a 155cc scooter -- Am I now a geek?

    Pros: sips gas, insurance is $352 per year, super easy to flick around, 300 lbs wet, very comfortable, tons of storage space, quick off the line, goes a GPS confirmed 122 km/hr WOT, starts under all conditions (even after a 6 month lay-away in the garden shed without anything but a shot of...

    Scooter owners... what do you ride, and where do you go?

    I finally caved in to my desire to own another scooter, and just purchased an SMAX. I also got a SHAD topbox and a cheap Magellan GPS... now to find some like minded riders and some some interesting destinations.

    "air cooled" motorcycle owners? speak-up!

    I can't be the only GTAM'er with an air-cooled, 'old school' motorcycle. Who else? I was thinking that we can use this thread to find out where you live, and then plan future rides/meets. Nothing like riding with like-minded individuals. I ride an '01 Honda CB750 NH Just a point of clarity...

    slight oil weep from valve cover gasket...

    After 5 months of sleep, I started my CB750 Nighthawk. 5 cranks of the starter and she hummed to life. I noticed a 1 cm section of the valve cover gasket with a slight bit of oil film. Can this happen after simply storage and cold weather? Wait and see if it goes away with warmer weather, or...

    A whole new world opened up with a helmet change for around town...

    I just wanted to post-up my recent experience with my new Daytona 1/2 shell helmet... wow For the past 25 years, save the very first year of riding (3/4 red disco helmet), I have exclusively used quality full-face helmets. That is partly to do with the fact that I've always ridden sport/sporty...

    Chain Cleaning -- what kind of gizmos or manual cleaning methods do you employ?

    I have been riding for too long (1987), and seem to always end-up with chain drive motorcycles. The only exception was a short love affair with an '01 BMW K1200RS, which ended in frustation due to the complicated, frequent, and *expensive* maintenance routine/schedule. Ironically, the shaft...

    Who in the GTA specializes in suspension work?

    I would like to get my front forks rebuilt, and I don't want to drop my ride off at any old shop where some 17-21 year old grease monkey man-handles them and facks something up. Because I live in an apartment now, I'm simply not set-up to do the work myself. Basically, I have the OEM seals...

    Anybody in the GTA that has an acid dip tank?

    I have an old stainless Supertrapp header that has turned brown with age. I would like to get it cleaned. I understand that a dip in an acid tank works wonders. How offers this service?

    Building a light touring set-up... any advice on a decent sissy bar/backrest bag??

    This is my current set-up: with my National Cycle F-16 "touring" windscreen (which is fine for brief jaunts on the highway): plus this (still need to mount): and this (still need to mount): I think the soft bags will be adequate for 1-5 day runs, but I need a bit more space. I am...

    "Old's Cool" Meet and Greet -- Port Dover, Saturday, May 5 -- 11 AM to whenever After participating and/or planning a number of rides and "meet 'n greets" over the past few years, I've learned to keep things really simple: >>>> Just show up if you can. <<<< Don't worry about RSVP's...

    Want to get back on two wheels after a 2-year break from riding...

    I took a 2-year break from riding to focus on my other interest, shooting. I have the itch and can't take it anymore. I have a modest budget of $8000. What are some good buys that you know of? I am not really leaning in any direction, except I have no interest in big heavy cruisers, except...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Just curious to know how many riders here in the GTA are also firearm owners? I'm into target shooting and general plinking (I used to shoot in the Reserves), and recently picked up a few surplus SKS's to have a bit of fun with. I also inherited my wife's...

    Olds Cool... Post-up Pics of your 10 year or older bike!

    There seems to be plenty of picture threads of the latest kit, so how about a picture thread of some of your older machines? There's something to be said for some earlier bikes where there was greater emphasis placed on build quality, fit and finish! The 80's might be an exception ;) .... and...

    Anybody with a Sport-Touring Motorcycle that Tours?

    Just curious to know how many of you have sport-touring (lean more towards sport) or touring-sport (lean more towards touring) motorcycles that actually tour? I've seen too many posts of people buying sport-touring motorcycles and then complaining of too much weight and not enough speed, etc...
