Does anyone know a place or mechanic that does safety cert at a shop or home in Scarborough? Many thanks,

Thanks you all again. I was recommended a few nice routes going through the U.S. but that gotta leave for next time going with someone else I guess. For now I'd like to travel within Canada. It won't be as bad to stop in MTL, QC. It looks like there will be a few long stretches about 700km more...

There are a lot more now but still not as popular as other bikes. Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

I highly recommend the Fz07. It got the best reviews last year out of all of naked bikes that are around 600-800cc. It looks good (I think the Z800 also looks good), has power and torque. Well if you got money then the monster 696 or 721 would be nice hahaha... I've been riding the Fz07 since...

Thanks for all the advises. And ewww to blackflies. I was told to crossover the US but I kinda want to make it a Canadian trip :) What about cellphone reception? I had bad experience with not having cellphone signal in Cali. Are there a lot of gas stations along the way? My tank is about 200km.

Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec-New Brunswick-Nova Scotia Any tips? Group ride? Solo ride?

Since you're mentioning about the cup holder, I highly recommend the golden wing (cuz you're a Honda fan) too :P I put my hands on the tank when breaking too but I have to adjust myself every time the driver gets going again. It's honestly not comfortable at all and most passengers are okay...

If she finds the VFR comfortable why would she want the handle? She can just grab on your hips, when you slow down or break, she only has to put more pressure on her pegs and tuck in a lil (no leaning, no tensing). If I am in the back, my driver actually prefers me to sit close and grab on him...

Re: Biker LoCafe Idea - need some feedback from all of you No need to turn it to a pub with beer and food. Cafe with nice fancy a~~ sandwiches (maybe ice-cream too) are good enough. That will save on your capital (having a fully equipped kitchen is a pain). You will have to deal with lots of...

@Matt I've been in the back of many different bikes, gotta say cruisers and enduros (speaking of long rides) are the best for passenger... Otherwise... I have a spare 250 if she wants to buy it off me next season ;). So you choose: 1) Don't divorce the VFR and buy her my 250 :P 2) Divorce the...

My friend's RE500 got issue with chain loose too...

I vote for a motorcycle cafe. It has to be downtown though. It'll be nice to have a biker spot to hang out during off season to chat about bikes and meet other bikers. The shop should have an area for info exchange or listings Just watch out for noise complaints!

"The new GF" eh... :P Can't she just hold on your waist? More intimate ;) But this grib seems a good idea. How about getting her to ride her own bike? I think it's time to divorce the VFR to get an enduro or cruiser.

The forum is acting weird. It doesn't let you key space. You basically type a letter or word, hit "enter" then you'll be able to type normally again. That typing seems like he was holding his breath :P Thank you all for the recommendations. I'm gonna get the spools. That seems like a simple...

Haha I was. I bought a pair of Venom (the one with paddles) for my 250 and they worked well for one season. Somehow the rear stand just can't hold on the swingarms anymore... ugh... I dun want to be cheap on them especially for my baby Fz07 :) I am just looking for the best solution, checked...

The oil pan is exposed since it's a naked bike. The exhaust seems to be on the way if I put the jack lift vertically. I thought of putting it horizontally but I'm not sure if the bike is still balanced. https://www.kapscomoto.com/product_p/smi2055.htm

I'm Asian. I'm cheap. Shut up :P. I'm just asking for references Rob:eek:. Already did oil change :P

It's the time of the year when we start talking about winter storage... sad... :( I'm still debating between getting a pair of lift stands or a jack lift stand for my Fz-07. Pros and Cons???? Any opinion on this guys? What about the bike stand chocks? Are they ideal for winter storage? My...

VOS (bastard) did my first service with Motul 7100 4L and did not give me the leftover... ugh... I guess I need to stick with Motul 7100 10W40. I was hoping to find somewhere in the GTA selling it for less than $50. I know of a hookup that sells it for $50 (plus tax maybe) but I think that offer...

Preferably near downtown Toronto. I think this Friday is the day of bike hibernation... Sad... Thanks all.
