    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    I can't say I agree with this at all, and see no difference between it and other vintage bikes. It seems you're OK with it because it doesn't affect you anymore. They are no less safe than all the vintage junk with dual drum brakes that are "street legal", and provided the pre-rule change...

    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    Much cheaper many places around GTA and Kitchener-Waterloo. $220-$250 now. (bike dependent, rear drum brake models require disassembly for photos of brake shoes which is more labour) Wouldn't apply to R6.

    latest on the new Safety Cert Drive On program...

    I made a post about that a bit back. As of now it seems like no grandfathered blue plates are making it through the digital safety. Which is pretty unfortunate for all the fully street legal conversions pre rule change in 2010 whatever it is. Hopefully that is fixed.

    Itchy Boots bike got stolen

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/105833552817943/ There is a group, it just doesn't really get used as there is a 30,000 member group with a similar name "GTA Motorcycle Riders".

    Itchy Boots bike got stolen

    The "M2" chip Macbook Air is actually pretty reasonable as far as Macbooks go. It was on sale recently for $1089. M3 chip $1289. Most people should probably just wait for the M4 Macbook Air though. It's pretty impressive.

    I don't believe it. It's just funny the things people speculate.

    Does North America even matter any more for motorcycle sales ?

    Not exactly shocking considering California has close to the same population as Canada and an infinite riding season in most parts of the state.

    New digital safety and grandfathered blue plate off-road bikes

    Heard a couple times now motorcycles that are grandfathered blue plates back when off road motorcycles could be road legal converted, are being denied in the new digital safety program where photos of the bike including the VIN plate are being required during the submission process. Hopefully...

    Honda's blown V-3

    Yep, and due to not having an intercooler, the intake air temps of a H2 are definitely high. As noted this makes it susceptible to pre-ignition, and gets around this problem by running a very low compression ratio in modern times (8.5:1). Back in the day before advanced tuning control existed...

    New DRZ-4S and DRZ-4SM

    Yes, to do any meaningful distance riding on a DRZ meant long stretches of high rpm abuse.

    New DRZ-4S and DRZ-4SM

    Will be curious to see how they compare to the current. There was an aftermarket gear set available for the DRZ that a fair amount of people added over the years when adding power mods. It was expensive and required a bit of case modifications though.

    New DRZ-4S and DRZ-4SM

    In a time where almost every bike, street and dirt is six gears, I'm just surprised a newly designed motor as they claim stuck with 5. Yes the ratios could be set-up fine with 5 gears though. An extra also doesn't hurt, especially a overdrive 6th. I often find myself searching for a 6th cruising...

    New DRZ-4S and DRZ-4SM

    Why they would redesign the DRZ and keep it a 5 speed is beyond me. Also would have loved it to have got a bit of a cc bump to a 450 maybe to have another good street 450 SM option. Still going to be a good bike I'm sure, I've owned and heavily modded a ton of them by now so I'm a fan...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    This is great advice, I always list cost of upgrades next to them. If its things people were wanting anyway like exhaust and bags, yours looks a whole lot better than one without it when they see the high prices if they were to buy after.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Probably the best sport touring tire out there besides maybe the Road 6's now. Currently have the 6's on mine and they are incredible but that comes at a hefty price.
