<Moderator, please move this to appropriate section, I wasn't sure where to post it> So, snapped a video this morning in my "good morning and wake up" ride. Took some frames out (see below)---I'm very much confused---when I'm riding, it almost feels like my knee is going to touch ground, but...

I was putting my man cave in order and found "Total Control" by Lee Parks book laying in a corner, which I bought some time ago but had forgotten about its existence. Kind of got carried away reading, and it contains a bunch of pretty neat drills and exercises that I would like to try doing...

So, I want to do track for the first time, and I'd like it to be at Cayuga as it's very close to home. However, I still don't have a full leather suit. Do you know any business that can rent one? I want to take the intro to track school and see how much I like it before I buy my own suit...

Never organized a ride through here before, but wanna give it a try. When: Sunday, 27th of May, 3:00 pm Where: Mud & Rt. 20/Centennial (http://goo.gl/maps/ZVh6), Tim Horton's parking lot Destination: Niagara via Ridge Rd, 406, etc. I can lead for some part on Ridge Rd, then I'm not quite...

Buddy dragged me to the dragstrip today, first time I ever drag-raced my bike, first time ever drag-racing at all :) Had enormous fun! Did 15 runs, gotta work on my take offs---can't keep the front wheel down in 1st and 2nd, which is limiting me. My best 1/4 mile time was 10.747 sec, which isn't...

So, this weekend I plan to take the bike to Dynotunes in Burlington. Since I've never had a bike on the dyno before, I am sitting here at work bored to death and wondering what to expect. I plan to do the "Horsepower verification testing" that is listed for 80 bucks, but I wonder---apart from...

Hello, I just got a quote from State Farm, asking much less to insure my GSXR1000 than what Meloche Monnex is charging me. Given that I just renewed my insurance with Meloche Monnex, will I get some kind of penalties and bad repercussions if I cancel the coverage with them, so that I move to...

What could be causing this rattling? It sounds like a v-twin, happens only on acceleration. Isn't there on reving the engine with pulled clutch, and it doesn't happen on deceleration either. But give it a little gas (little or wot, don't matter), it is "arrrrrrrrrrrrrr", kinda like a vtwin...

GSXR 1000. Will I make it? :) :-)

Every morning I drive down a road (with the car), and there is a traffic light for a left turn at one point that sometimes gets quite backed up. When I'm late, I make a left turn into one of the residential streets ahead of the traffic light, then I make a right turn and in this way I bypass...

Here how it's done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmzTAmoA3-c

My friends, the battle inside of me is killing me! I am many long months away from selling my FZ6 and getting a 750 and 1000 (insurance for those will be affordable for me in September). But I really feel disturbed by this undecidedness, and it's killing me. I know 750 is the better choice...

I'm a relatively new rider, I've put about 10,000km on my beloved 2005 Yamaha FZ6 (in just a few months), which is my first street bike anyway. Now that insurance premiums will lower soon for me in regards to a SS and will be more in reach for me, I've been thinking about stepping up. Perhaps...

I've been having these late night rides in the last week or so, and every time I go out, shortly into the ride the helmet visor starts freezing up on the outside, sometimes to the point that it makes it very difficult to see through. Note that I'm not talking about fogging up on the inside, I...

I've been stealing many hours from family and work for quite a bit of riding for the last few days. Didn't plan to go out tonight, but now sitting here in front of these two screens at work makes me think for anything but work, so I started wondering if I should get out again tonight, 9 or so...

Hi there, Just got a Drift HD170 Stealth, they are on sale at B&H photo for about $150 versus $300 in Canada. It comes with a helmet mount, which essentially comes down to sticking a velcro patch on the helmet, and attaching the cam and the mount to it when needed. That said, I'm trying to...

Just got my 2005 Yamaha FZ6 renewal notice. My premium last year was $696 while the new renewal premium quoted is $1,025. In my books that's about 50% increase! I immediately called and spoke to an agent. He put me on hold "to do some research for me", and then said that "there were too many...

My dad used to own this kind of bike in the 70's. He said that he could take the engine out and back in 3 times before noon :)

I've been wanting to extend my riding seasons from next spring on, but so far I've been riding with a textile jacket (with protective pads). When it's less than about 7-8 degrees outside, it becomes way too cold, so I've been looking to upgrade my gear. I was thinking to invest into a heated...

I will be going to the track for the first time next season, and I'm reading the section as much as possible, getting really hooked! Not once or twice I noticed people saying that they will be building a track bike during the winter, and I keep wondering what they mean. Is it buying used parts...
