[This might run long - skip to the next paragraph if you don't care about the full context.] So I find myself at a bit of a crossroads career-wise. I'm 43 and went to university but did not graduate (9 credits short of a BA). I've had a series of desk jobs since 2001, culminating in a low-level...

Happened around 11:45am right at the Esso. Looks like the rider might've been clipped as he was pulling out onto Highway 10. Would appreciate an update if anyone has info, it didn't look good. (I've got footage of the emergency services on site but now that I'm in the boonies the Internet is...

Rode past it, didn't notice the two downed riders at first (0:20). GWS

So I dropped an '89 Radian engine into the FJ600. Same engine but with a different stator and pickup coil setup - so I'm using a Radian CDI and rectifier as well. I had to splice a bunch of wires to replicate the Radian's wiring. Everything is as per the manual. The motor fires up but it...

Lightly used, in perfect condition. $400 + $29 shipping to Ontario (seats are in Prévost, QC) For pics: https://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/222548654710

Go to http://imgur.com/a/ZX8Cz for more detailed photos. If you're in the market for a Strat, this one is immaculate and virtually unplayed. Zero fret wear and not a single ding or blemish anywhere on the guitar. Good as new. Still has the plastic film on the tremolo cover plate. Includes the...

The FJ600 needs a new rear tire after ~13,000kms. Front still has tons of tread left. Been running Avon RoadRiders front and back with great results, but the few online reviews that are out there all say that the Continental Classic Attack (radial!) is mind-blowingly good. Trying to decide...

Same 1200cc P-twin as in the Bonneville/Thruxton. The one with ape hangers is making me weak in the knees. Pirates everywhere shaking their beanie helmets. http://www.cycleworld.com/2017-triumph-bonneville-bobber-motorcycle-first-look/?src=SOC&dom=fb

Brand new and unused. Bought them for research purposes. Only worn indoors briefly, out of curiosity. Conductive thread on thumbs and index/middle fingers, wiper on the left thumb. Nice basic work glove feel. Aerostich calls this a "Large" but they run really big. I typically wear an XL and...

Fast-forward to 1:15 for the good bits. I have no idea how the first Harley Guy got into that spot. His buddy was just trying to pull over to help. I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUB2darr5mU

Both are brand new and unused. The first one was a mistake by the online shop I bought from, and by the time they shipped the second and correct one, I'd already bought another bar locally. First one is a X01 model w/ a tapered, 1-1/8" middle section - I believe that this is meant to go on an...

So the FJ has always consumed oil. Not a ton at first, maybe 250ml every 1000kms, but now consumption is ridiculously high and I need to fix it. Biggest visible symptom is the occasional big puff of blue smoke when I cold-start the engine, otherwise nothing. I do notice some amount of blowby if...

Dainese Druids ST gloves size XL, like new $100 Worn once. Awesome gloves, just not my style. $120. I'm in downtown TO but can meet up anywhere during the day within a ~30km radius.

Nothing fancy, just a quick how-to guide for people looking to get into the sport: http://blog.caasco.com/featured/youve-always-wanted-a-motorcycle-heres-how-to-make-it-happen/ FYI if you read it, like it and share it, I can become rich and famous. No pressure.

My CCT gasket broke in 2 pieces when I took it off and I know for a fact that it's going to leak if I try reusing it. Been there done that. It's a really thin paper-based material, not sure exactly what it is but it's weak. Is there something better I can use to make my own? Else, where could...

Decided to replace my valve stem seals today. Started by re-checking the valve clearances - I had done them 2 years ago and all the intake shims needed to be replaced with thinner ones. Anyhoo, clearances checked out the same as they did 2 years ago. So I pull the camshafts and - surprise - 2...

So I picked up this run-down 1990 ZX-6D from fellow GTAMer Dilligaf0220. It's in rouger shape than it looks, but it looks it's got good bones. The plan is to turn it into a mean sport bobber. I will likely steal ideas from this build: ...which makes clever use of covers to hide the ugly...

Need to replace the seals in all 3 calipers and I don't have access to air - I will probably end up using the brake lever(s) while the calipers are off, but I'm afraid I'll get brake fluid everywhere that way. Is there another trick to do a clean job?

So I replaced my steering stem bearings this morning. I was expecting to find really old, loose ball bearings in there, but a previous owner had already upgraded to tapered rollers. Who'da thunk? What threw me off was that the bearing races had zero lip I could use to drive them off. After...
