Hi everyone; Haven't been here in a while. I got hit a while back and haven't yet recovered. The bike I was riding that day was totalled. This is about my other ride, an 05 V-Star 1100 Custom. I was in the middle of a swingarm service when I got hit. I had everything apart and had just...

Hi everyone; This'll be the last thing to do before I drop motorcycles. Had a bad crash in the summer that I'm still recovering from (they turned left at the very last second) and I've had to give them up. But before I do, I just want to trailer the cruiser (this is my other one, my rolling...

Hi don't know where to put this sorry if it needs to be moved.....pretty out of it past few dayspretty busted up. .....in hospital..I'm not at fault, need a recommendation for a lawyer dealing with such bike accidents. Live in King, down at sunnybrook for 2 weeks... Have no idea how to choose...

Needed tires. As usual, cheapest option is to order the PR4s from Pete's, take off the wheels and take them somewhere. But I'm occupied with other things so we shop around for someone to just do it. Like others I run into an incredibly diverse range of pricing on tires and install. I...

Replaced front springs. Had a couple towels on the tank. I should have just removed it. One slip of the rachet and the bottom of the handle knocked lightly against the tank. The paint isn't creased or cracked. It's a gentle dent, about half the size of a dime. Anyone have a...

Yes I've used the search engine, of course. Thing is some aren't painting anymore, one person I PM'd replied, then I replied, then never heard from him again; don't know why. So I have the paint, it just has to be mixed. for the bike I need this 5 piece spike intake painted. It came...

Hey once i get out there, I'm staying in Baddeck for two nights and exploring cabot trail and maybe Meat Cove Road and maybe whale watch at Oshan (have to see about the last one). For those who have been there done that; I'm wondering 1. if it's at all worth it to ride the complete cabot...

Stumbled upon this product that gets some pretty good reviews. No it's not an escort! foamy thing that slips over the grips - my hands keep getting numb and it's either these or ISO grips. They're on ebay, but was wondering if anyone's seen them retail around here? Just that I'm heading...

Yeah I hope to buy tonight/tmrw. Curious. . .had a few guys come to buy used cars over the years, pretty much all brought plates, slap em on and drive away. Do you guys all do that when buying a used bike? I know, trailer's an option. . .but if you don't have one? plate's for same...

hey everyone; My v-star's great; with the aftermarket seat I can go for 10 hours on it no problem. But it's got no storage, I've done it up to suit more of a 'showy' purpose. So I'm keeping that but shopping for a second ride that will: -be my 'running around town' bike. The V-star feels...

Have to paint the v-star. It's stock Yamaha black right now, but went down last summer. . . I wanted to paint everything black again, but without flake or anything. Just a very rich, deep, black. . .something that looks like you could drown in it. But trying to nail down what black paint...

My pal bought a C50 in 2007. He didn't have a place to store it, so it stayed at my place. I'd take it around town once a week or so. Then he rode it. He unfortunately took a tumble and well, decided this hobby wasn't for him. So the bike has been parked, since fall 2007 at his place...

I've got a pair of amber and clear saftey glasses for the night -- the $22 ones that every bike shop has on a cardboard stand up display on the counter. But neither really helps with glare at night. I also bought a pair at the bike show that tints with the sun. That pair is worse than the...

I'm in Newmarket, 30 something if it matters; just want to ride and get to meet new people. was thinking of something like a trek to rousseau or something or maybe a visit to Algonquin? Was also thinking of a trek to Penn. for a couple, maybe three days.

i did buy the crappy tire lift a while ago, and found the bike was rather unstable on it, so I took it back. But I've got two new tires and need to take the wheels off. So, does anyone know of a good jack that will work with my V-star? I found that the Crappy tire version's supports just...

Assuming weather forcast is half decent, I'm planning to leave on Tuesday early morning to catch the ferry from Tobermory at 11:20am. Looks like it's me solo. I've done a lot of reading, but there's so much to consider. . .any answers to the following coloured questions would be appreciated...

Looking to head out tomorrow and come back saturday at some point. What I could use are route ideas, doesn't matter where; though Ive done 507, monks etc. To deAth. I like scenery and turns. I also hate camping and love hotels or motels with no roaches. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks everyone.
