Harleys are awesome, have ridden a few in my time - but the price is almost all profit - you're getting a cheap/chinese component steel framed bike with old tech and very little spent on R&D, for often double the price of more finely engineered machines If a dyna cost what it is actually worth...

You won't pay attention to these videos/sentiments once you understand where it's coming from. As dudes get older, or crash, or for whatever reason - they realize that for them personally it's not worth the discomfort, impracticality, or other reason to own/ride sport bikes regularly on the...

It feels slow and heavy to me, but I am coming from SS and big 1000CC twins...I'm not knocking the bike I actually like it quite a bit for commuting and long trips. Mine is a '13 as well. I never get less than 5.5/100, even riding really hard, 4.8-5 on road trips. Do you have a pipe or a...

??? Do we have the same Fz8-S/Fazer8? They have 90HP stock, and get 5L/100 average, under 5 if you are just cruising around. Downsides for me: - bargain basement suspension (but fixable by fitting FZ1/R1 stuff, check FZ8 forums). - low horsepower (definitely under 100 and noticeably slower...

Lived in CA where its legal - yes, it's legal, not just "not illegal", as long as you are doing it in a "safe and prudent manner" it's legal. I occasionally split in really bad jams here - you guys saying Canadian drivers are "the worst" have clearly never driven in many other places - most...

I haven't received a moving violation in years...the last one I got was for travelling the same speed as traffic around me; the out of shape officer explained to me that "here in Ontario" we "don't allow that on bikes". You don't have to be a prolific speeder to see that we have big problems...

If you feel this way, don't reproduce. That way those of us capable of critically evaluating laws and enforcement practices will be safe from oppression by those who are incapable.

My superbike was 18 bucks a month (without collision insurance). BUT - cleaner air here, nicer (in better shape/repair) roads, healthcare...Ontario is actually pretty great, it's just the people that are the problem. Too many libtards, not enough critical thinking.

Of COURSE they shouldn't be allowed to check people "at will" - what the ****? where did you grow up, Soviet Russia? I don't understand why people are so happy to hand over their freedom to people who sometimes don't even have a college education or much life experience. "At will" stops are...

Nobody "happens upon" that corner - that part of Mulholland is not really "on the way" to anywhere...people who are riding it are riding it on purpose. Sorry if my actually living there and riding that road is spoiling your perception of what's going on...but that's just not how it is.

As someone who used to ride that corner/road fairly often, I can tell you it is a feature of that area, they don't change it because it brings in tourism money and because they are proud of it. Also, California does not have the corrupt insurance problems of Ontario - minor crashes do not...

It is safer, and that's why it is legal in other places. I realize if you're old it's a scary prospect, but you are doing yourself a disservice by posting with this tone and theme - that it is still a debate...there is no debate. If done correctly it IS safer...discussions need to focus on the...

I have a really positive view of my fellow humans in general, I assure you it's just you specifically. As for on the road, I'll finish a confrontation if someone else starts one but for the most part I just keep my eyes and brain focused on making it to where I'm going safely (I don't flip...

hey all you brave warriors - here's an idea: if you're "swarmed" by bikes...just don't stop...unless you're one of those idiots who is always driving around on empty...guess what, the bikes are gonna have to stop for gas before you do. if you feel like it you could even call 911 while you make...

Re: ******* taxi drivers That's the cutest way of saying you're tough on the internet I've ever seen. Look dude, I'm not saying you're a complete wuss because of your attitude but come on - at least try to have some masculinity and pride about you...if it bothers you that some guy rides his...

Wait, so you only take the retarded views from the conservative side? Not the good ones? Eg: you should be able to defend your home and property with appropriate force up to and including lethal force. Dude if you're anti-guns AND you think the woman in the SUV is somehow blameless for...

Backing up trailers into tight spots is difficult but if someone asked me to automate it I definitely could do it - would need to develop "smart" hardware to be kept at the loading dock side and matching hardware in the truck. I'll take that bet - and again I do apologize for the nasty comment...

Read between the lines of the story - the woman (original driver) was probably the main cause of the confrontation and the dude she was with finally had enough and said "ok well you're on your own if you wanna start a fight with these guys". "omg what kind of guy leaves the woman there" - the...

Sounds like you should consider getting out of the way of faster traffic, or moving over in your lane and politely waving the guy behind you past. I don't buzz other bikes in the manner you describe mostly because I don't want to be responsible for someone freaking out and crashing, but I...

I edited it out because while I would certainly say that and mean it about yodude - based on what he's been posting, I realized other people who drive for a living don't need to see that, nor do I feel that way about them. You have this "guy on the internet"'s apology for the comment. Trains...
